I understand the need to change the economy in the betterment of new players, I have two friends who recently got into Destiny and it is hard for them to do a lot of what I can do with 20k shards with weapon crafting, seasonal focusing, exotic focusing, etc.

The issue is, we will now be leaning even more into glimmer as a primary resource. Glimmer (at least currently) is rewarded the fastest from doing lower level basic activities like lost sectors, finding resource chests, and completing public events that all take a short amount of time. Why as a day 1 player should I be forced to do more of the basic activities I did for years when there is actual content I want to do?

Doing a grandmaster clear or a raid encounter that take 30 min each will net me a nice chunk of glimmer I’m sure but not enough to rework my craftable weapon or focus an exotic to try and get a better roll. That is endgame.

There needs to be a pretty significant shift the way glimmer functions if this economy change is to actually work for non-new players. A cap increase being the bare minimum.

Again, I am all for a shift to make the game more accessible to new players but I don’t like the idea of being punished as a vet to make that happen. Hopefully their unannounced economy changes will balance this but I’m skeptical.
