Glad to have found a thread like this; to the OP: Thanks, I couldn't agree more. I'm also sorry my first inspiration to join the "Destiny online community" is a negative one.
I'm a casual player who isn't into PvP or Co-Op. I bought Destiny for the SP side of the game. I knew I was taking a chance buying a Bungie / Activision game: Bungie is known for the MP side of their games, Activision is known for "quick cash-in / stock-holder gaming". Unfortunately, it's Obvious that Bungie hasn't and isn't putting much thought or effort into the SP side of Destiny, & this change to the "materials for marks" system makes it Blatantly obvious.
The Empty "3D screen saver" of a gameworld, 6th grade "Creative Writing class" narrative & characters, the dearth of post-Story SP content, & NOW: the only, ONLY, way for SP / XBL Silver players to get Legendary gear is the Daily Heroic Story!?!? Chest, Hands, Feet = a week, Helmet = a month?!?
This change makes Crucible gear truly MP-only and that's cool, as-it-should-be; shouldn't be able to use MP "themed" gear if you aren't doing MP. But making all the factions gear, but Vanguards, MP-only?!?! When I'm doing Patrols ("dang" near all there is FOR SP / XBL Silver to do) I'm getting "requests" from ALL the factions, but I can't get their gear?!?!
<exasperated sigh>
I Really enjoy the gunplay, music, and initially the story even as thin as it is. I just wish the SP side of the game had been given as much forethought & consideration as in previous Bungie games. As it is, I'll continue playing Destiny & enjoying what Little there is available to me, the "Single Player player". And while I'm currently XBL Gold, I Don't Want Or Like Pvp or Co-op, am not going to "help grow the community" by doing anymore PvP or Co-op, and Definitely Not going to PAY full price for DLC when the SP side of Destiny shipped w/ so little content; maybe next Holiday season it'll be on sale.
Take it easy.
