Beyond Evolution - I agree
After downloading the upgrade I was excited to see the new material for marks option and thought it was a good addition. Then just like every other PVE - mostly player, I was surprised that I can no longer trade in materials for marks and rep. I was preparing for the yesterday's reboot, and had over 500 helium filaments plus other materials and numerous completed bounties.
From day 1, I was geared with the normal routine of collecting materials for leveling-up, and along with the story, strikes, public events, bounties, all these things is why I like playing Destiny. I don't recall this part of the game being broken, so why remove it?
Went to do patrols to complete bounties and public events and automatically I collect mats and find chests after chests after loot chests. I asked myself, why am I still farming for materials its utterly useless now? And then it dawned on me that I am actually addicted to this mundane task. Its satisfying to hear the "twack" when you open the loot chest and the glimmer bling collected. I shout "YES!!!" found another treasure. Oh, Guardian near, let's see what happens if I grab the chest before him, will he get angry and shoot and chase me away? What if I point it to him, will he be thankful or even respond? I am a female playing a female Hunter, will that affect the way he interact, Yes/No? Those simple things make my Destiny game experience unique to me. I don't like it when other gamers tell you how you should play your game and force their point of view, or how a post sound stupid to them.
Please Bungie put back the old material exchange?

Well said. Farming with a group of randoms you meet in patrol is one of the more enjoyable aspects of this game, and now the main reason for that is gone.

Totally agree. I thought it was kind of the point to the game lol.

Edited by Sarcasm83: 12/4/2014 4:25:52 AMYeah, the chests are absolutely pointless now. I mean.. I don't even pick up green engrams anymore. Why bother? I barely bother picking up blue engrams either, as they NEVER give me legendaries. Not once have I got anything but a blue item I've seen thousands of times already. And now daily heroics and marks can give me planetside materials aswell.. so.. why bother picking up a chest? After all, I've must've picked up about a thousand chests on my material runs and I've got ONE legendary item from a chest, which was an ascendant shard. I was actually surprised it CAN happen :D But.. the chests are completely pointless, honestly. Come to think about it; This game has become downright [b]DEPRESSING[/b].

Same here collecting countless of materials. My brother and I share PSN and I do the farming for materials for our upgrades while he does PVP. I have my level 29 hunter and he has his 29 titan and take turn playing just switching out our characters. At times I find energy shards, strange coins, motes of light, and legendary engrams (Conduit, light beware, epitaph, swarm, the comedian, final boss) and the common ship blueprint, ammo synthesis. But the odds are really low. I still like playing destiny.

I love playing the game this way and agree with your comments.

Thanks. It was a nice surprise running into a hive knight with the sword in earth's shipyard and moon Archer's Line patrol. Wish I could keep the sword though. Extremely happy I soloed the nexus 3 times and was rewarded with strange coins, woohoo!
