What if... (Destiny)

... Xur sold Etheric light? I think that might help "open up" Destiny's end game in a positive way.

From what I've been reading here and on other forums, it seems to me like both end game activities in House of Wolves are a bit too demanding for a large portion of the community. Not only are the activities extremely challenging, but they are also very time consuming. In a strange way, I find it significantly more difficult to put together a group for Trials of Osiris or level 35 PoE than it is to throw together a raid group. As complex as the raids are, the nature of a 6-player activity means that there is more room for 2 or 3 experienced players to help some newer players out, and still finish the activity in an hour or so. Back in the early days of Crota's End, I would join LFG groups on a regular basis. I'd get together with 5 randoms, blast through the raid in 30 minutes, and earn some of the best rewards in the game. That simply isn't possible with ToO or PoE.

So perhaps if Xur sold etheric light, it would give more players a way to slowly upgrade their stuff and reach a point where they're more comfortable diving in to ToO and/or PoE.
