Reasoning for Radiant Materials. A Mistake? (Destiny)

by Cody Miller , Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Monday, January 26, 2015, 11:45 (3380 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY

The problem with Bungie's "solution" here is that even with the split currencies (ascendant materials/radiant materials) I STILL don't want to waste resources upgrading gear that isn't top-level raid gear. If all they required was ascendant materials, that would be one thing. But upgrading armor also uses glimmer and natural materials (spirit bloom, relic iron, etc), none of which I want to waste on anything other than max-level armor.

That, and the stats on the raid gear is random. If I get a piece of raid gear with +str on it, as a hunter that is garbage, so I will save my materials for a better one. To compound that, you can get differing values of the same stat, so you might find gear with +int later that's better than the +int gear you have now.
