Fewer Currencies/Materials (Destiny)

So why not just let us use glimmer for everything?

I'm sure a lot of it boils down to a desire to require players to complete certain activities for certain things. Now, that doesn't mean that the existence of ALL these currencies is justified - there must be a few that could be cut out and substituted for each other. Especially the ones tied to formerly end-game content that's no longer end-game. But if glimmer was actually the only currency and the only thing needed for ALL purchases and upgrades, then someone could, for example, buy all the Iron Banner weapons by doing nothing but running patrols. That scenario would actually benefit me TBH, but I feel like Bungie wants to avoid it.
