I'm actually a bit surprised (Destiny)

I'm inclined to agree with him in this case, though, although with a slight twist.

The whole point of the weekly reset is an attempt to prevent the game's economies from spiraling out of complete control.

Imagine a scenario where there are people who absolutely would run 18 raids per week and those that don't run any or just run one. The former groups would be swimming in whatever reward the raids gave, while the second set of people would have basically nothing in comparison.

Regardless of how you feel about it, this would make handling difficulty, cost, and "fairness" very lopsided and almost impossible to bring back in line without some kind of hard reset.

Clearly online economies are hard and they're doing the best they can. Keeping currencies in line is the reason new currencies are introduced in each expansion.

I imagine with the release of Destiny 2 there will be some huge currency revamp, probably something in line with "trade all the currencies in for Motes."
