The Great Weapon Parts Shortage of 2015

Beta/Day 1 player with a disturbing amount of hours logged. 23 weapons parts remaining across all characters. I am now resorting to dismantling gunsmith weapons for a few weapon parts and using the 10 weapon cores I have left over from HoW to buy from Variks and dismantle for parts. This obviously is not a sustainable solution to the problem. I'd love to know why Bungie nerfed the drop quantity for weapon parts. Having to grind for them only detracts from the enjoyable parts of this game. I'm not able to upgrade and test new weapons because there simply aren't enough weapon parts. Why not just have the gunsmith sell them? Just trying to raise awareness in hopes Bungie sees our concern and maybe addresses it. Edit: Bungie has responded. I'd now like that stat to be presented fairly. Please filter results to only include accounts with at least 1 max level character and 500+ hours played. Currently you are skewing hard toward millions of accounts that only played the game at launch week before giving up and moving on to other games. Accounts that are no longer active or used are wholly irrelevant to this discussion. Edit 2: Bungie has clarified the stat listed below does not include accounts no longer active. The fact that the avg. per account is 26.8 is hugely telling. The players with hundreds/thousands of weapon parts are far outnumbered by those with hardly any. 26.8 average weapon parts per active account spells broken economy. EDIT 3: Bungie has responded to the Great Weapon Parts Shortage of 2015 in the recently posted Weekly Update. The Gunsmith will soon be selling weapon parts for glimmer. Sincere thanks to Bungie and thank you fellow guardians for responding to the original post.
