I share the sentiment (Destiny)

I hope it gets easier at lvl28, which I have just now hit. Up until now, both legendary engrams/items and shards have been pretty scarce.

Once you hit 27/28 and can start raiding, there is no sense in spending shards on any armor that isn't raid armor or an exotic. At that point you start to accumulate a lot, just waiting for some raid gear to use it on.

I'm having trouble understanding your logic.

If you're accumulating a lot, why not use it to upgrade what you have now? It'll make getting through the raid easier, and maybe get you MORE raid gear - which you can then upgrade with the materials you're accumulating at such a fantastic rate.

I don't get the hoarding mentality at all.

I guess I just view any piece of armor that isn't exotic or Raid as temporary; a waste of resources if it isn't essential to get you to the minimum level to start acquiring Raid gear.

I'm missing 3 pieces of Raid gear which will ultimately require 54 Ascendant Shards to upgrade. So it's not like I'm at the point of just holding on to things for no reason at all.
