Lesson Learned (Destiny)

If anyone has played with me long enough they will know I'm a serial hoarder. I hate getting ride of pieces I've either earned or had drop with good rolls. The ever changing Meta in crucible makes me not want to get rid of weapons even if I don't like the weapon type for crucible.

Those year one dead orbit arm bands, cloaks, and butt-towels are pretty sweet looking also, why would I want to get rid of those? The cool festival of the lost paper helmets are awesome looking so I'll keep those too. I think you can catch the drift of my problem.

Let's back step a few weeks to SRL. I raced and raced and raced trying to get those high level drops. I managed to get a good amount of 310+ helms and a few 320 helms. The problem I ran into was I out of armor materials constantly while using these high level drops to upgrade my gear. In fact, I was lucky enough on SRL that I simply didn't have enough space to store these drops so I would pull one from the post master when I had enough armor mats to upgrade a piece of gear. I'm guessing you can see where this is going now.

fast forward to a few nights ago. I ran a full hard mode raid w/ challenge mode with my normal raid group. after having a few wipes during the raid, I started to get a ton of engrams dropping that I couldn't pick up. I moved as many of these to the vault from my character as I could. Well, apparently that wasn't enough. After we had cleared Oryx and went back to the tower I discovered that I had nearly wiped out my entire stash of 310+ helmets from the post master. I lost around 7 314-318 helmets and 1 320 helmet. Talk about a horrible sinking feeling in your stomach.

This issue is my own fault, but still... That was a horrible feeling to have upon seeing all of those items disappear because I don't want to get rid of items I've earned/lucked out on over the course of playing this game.
