There is a massive upside to these changes, and I am not sure why Bungie has not mentioned it more:
Shaders will no longer drop duplicates from Bright Engrams
Right now, we basically [i]always[/i] get duplicate shaders, but after these changes they will be on a knockout list just like everything else. As a result, every time we obtain a shader from now on, it will be one we don't have. That means we can potentially obtain every shader without spending [i]any[/i] bright dust.
Now, is the bright dust hike still stupid overcompensation? Absolutely. But, this at least makes me feel a little better about it.

I wonder if shaders will even drop from Bright Engrams after this season? I could see them removing them from the BE loot pool and forcing us to buy them with bright dust. We shall see.

I don't even trust the knock out system because I've had a few beight engrams give me a duplicate ship or sparrow.

Apparently they're implementing dupe protection in the next season

It's been around for a while, but it's definitely not 100% guaranteed it seems.

Yeah I did hear about no duplicates.
