This has got to be said (Destiny)

I've held off because I've said it before but...

The problem is down to the concept of the Vault and the idea that your alts are different characters that share stuff by going to a place and leaving the stuff there.

The mechanics of the vault is what causes problems - the idea that you have to go to a place to give a weapon to an alt - the idea that these three different people somehow share weapons is what causes the problem.

If they bin that concept and just admit that the weapons are your (the player's) weapons then you just have the weapon. You don't need to take a weapon off one alt to GIVE to another.

If you want all alts to use the same weapon then Bungie should let all alts have the same weapon equipped "at the same time". I use quotes because you will never have two of your alts meet each other in the game (outside of a cutscene :-)

Bungie should:

• bin the vault as a place (was the mother and father of bad ideas)
  
• have a single inventory per player
  
• everything you pick up is, automatically, in your inventory
  
• any alt can equip an item from the inventory (even if an other alt has it equipped)

On the same theme of convenience - all currencies should belong to the player - not the alts. So you never juggle items between alts.

The web sites and apps make the juggling easier but the juggling is only necessary because Bungie made design choices that make work for the player. They can change things so you wouldn't have to juggle AT ALL. And that is easier than even the easiest juggling ;-)
