For what it's worth... (Destiny)

I know myself and this means I will probably hoard shaders and use them only when I get dupes, if then.

It's a shame because finding the right shader for your armor combo was something I really enjoyed. The dress-up Barbie aspect of Destiny has now been killed for me.

I don't have that big a problem with buying shaders if they were reusable and if you knew what you were getting.

On the plus side, now we won't have to wait as long for Destroyoboy to prepare for raids.

I've put in something close to 20 hours at this point, and I'm already drowning in shaders. I've probably got somewhere around 15 unique shaders, and between 5-10 of each of them.

I don't like the new system either (I see absolutely no player-friendly reason to make them consumable), but based on what I'm seeing so far, it looks like the drop rates are beyond plentiful.

Even so, this system kills any interest I have in using shaders at all until I get some gear that I know I want to keep.

        That's fair. Plus, it was a top 1 shader so nbd - ProbablyLast, 2017-09-08, 08:39
        
        Top 1 shader == absence of color - MacAddictXIV, 2017-09-08, 08:46
