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

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.

I've already decided to postpone any kind of equipment enhancement for this very reason.

Bungie should have cautioned people to not waste upgrades until they attained a suitable light level.

I've already applied a shader to a piece of armor I scrapped. And I've already placed two shaders on a piece of armor I plan on keeping.

Maybe you guys should just experiment more :D

Given how plentiful shaders seem to be, I think that's a totally fair point. I'm not particularly worried about burning through shaders... for me, it's more that I'm at such an early point in the game that gear is getting scrapped constantly, so why even bother engaging with shaders? I haven't used a single piece of armor for more than 20 minutes at a time, so going through the trouble of applying shaders is just not worth worrying about for me right now. I'll just let them fill up my inventory. Then by the time I get closer to max level and start to figure out which gear I really want to keep, I'll have a huge stockpile of shaders to play with.

        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
