A weekend with Xur (Destiny)

I really do not like the new exotic upgrade system. It's beyond crazy how much time is required to now upgrade weapons/armor that you had previously leveled.

Here's my weekend shopping in review:
- Ruin Wings (13 SC)
- Voidfang Vestments (13 SC) - (Better Roll, Sharded old version)
- Truth (17 SC) - Decided to buy new instead of upgrading (will upgrade my other when available)
- 4 Helmet Engrams (100 Motes of Light) - Received the following:

- Urn of Sacrifice (1 SC) x2
- Exotic Shards? (I bought some but don't remember how many)
Upgrades (1 Exotic Shard, 7000 slimmer each)
- Suros x2
- Icebreaker x2
- The Last Word

Total bill from Xur:
- 80 Strange Coins (35 in the form of exotic shards)
- 100 Motes of Light
- 35,000 Glimmer

In order to get the glimmer needed for the exotic upgrades + weapon & armor upgrades to get to level 31 to raid I spent a good 3+ hours glimmer farming on the exclusion zone, ?? hours doing patrols.

It finally hit me this weekend how crazy the new exotic upgrade path has now become. It's a good thing my girlfriend was out of town this weekend so I could spend 20-30 hours in game trying to upgrade my previously fully leveled weapons and new vendor gear that is better than my older raid gear.
