Why? (Destiny)

Because it's the truth. Cody has played a good bit more than me and yet he can't buy ammo synths and I can. Why? Because he spent his glimmer on other things. He knew at least a week ago, via weekly update, that the date of Crota's End Hard Mode would be announced along with the anti-cheese patch. He knew far in advance of that that Hard Mode would begin sometime around now and yet wasn't prepared. Even if the game's economy isn't the best he still had plenty of time to prepare... and didn't.

Look, just playing the game and not buying anything significant would have gotten him ~10,000 glimmer. I know this because that's excatly what I did... I was in the hundreds of glimmer a week ago and I didn't even play very much to get where I am now!

The issue is that PREPARING IS SUPER FUCKING BORING. If preparing meant spending 20 seconds buying ammo with coins, then that would be fine. But now preparing means glimmer farming.

I'm bored with everything in the game but raids and nightfalls. The raid gives no glimmer. Nightfalls don't give a lot even with your consumables on. Crucible is notoriously poor in the rewards department.

So what am I supposed to do to prepare that isn't either too easy to be stimulating, or mind numbingly boring and repetitive?
