EDIT 3: While doing the weekly strike, I accidentally dismantled The Supremacy. Since then I made a post and players shared their experience also accidentally dismantling/scraping weapons/shards/etc. I went through the comments. Here is a compilation of ways Bungie can improve dismantling in Destiny to give a better expirence.

Why couldn't you simply make exotics and legendaries have a longer time to dismantle like ships do?

I think legendaries are just as important. It shouldn't be that hard for them to put in a item locking system. Games with the same inventory and item deletion mechanic as destiny have that option. Just to be safe.

How about an option then to lock weapons, from on their details screen. Locked gear can't be dismantled.

WoW would have no problem replacing items. I had glitches where I lost items 2 or 3 times. Sent in a request and the next day it was waiting for me. Take note destiny, we work too hard for our loot and when we loose it by accident (game glitch or human error) it will leave people really bitter. WoW made millions upon millions of dollars for a reason. Take notes please.

DeeJ: Please take a look at my feature request for the Special Orders vendor to be upgraded as the access gateway for recovering items previously purchased that are difficult to replace. I expect that the game has a record of each item picked up or purchased by the user.
I'm thinking mostly of emblems and shaders but in theory she could list all the equipment or items a player has ever touched.

What there should be is a place where you can buy back dismantled items for the recourse you got. If you got 3 shards and 250 glimmer for an item, you should be able to buy it back for 3 shards and 250 glimmer. Every day it resets, so if you deleted something yesterday, you cant buy it back today

Sad because it's too easy to do!
Legendaries should take the same time as exotics (or blues and greens should salvage with a single button press).
Instead of saying you're SOL maybe come up with a fix because there has been a lot of people in the same boat (even yourself apparently?)
It's a simple fix that would save a lot of frustrations.
QoL changes arn't bungie's strong suit. We get it.

After holding dismantle, suddenly conformation screen.
"Are you sure? (YES/NO)

What a lot of MMOs do is if you try to delete something purple quality or above it will ask you if you're sure you want to delete it or dismantle it or whatever it's called in that game and then you will have to type the word "DELETE" and hit enter to actually make it happen. Since this is console it could make us press XBBYA buttons in sequence or something.

Only for purple and yellow tho. That would be annoying going through all my worthless green/blue
My friend InColdBlood666 says: Have a place in the tower where you lock weapons. That way people can't say they accidentally unlocked and sold so easily. Hearing one of these suggestions, Tess would fit this well.

I dismantled the Bad Juju bounty right after completing the 25 strikes. My mistake was to pick up another exotic bounty before completing the next stage. The new bounty was one I already had and needed to be scrapped which I didn't do until after completing the next stage for Bad Juju. Only when I completed the next stage of Bad Juju it became a new bounty and replaced the one I wanted to scrap in the order of bounties. I realised a millisecond too late and spent an hour cursing myself.
On that subject though it'd be nice if the next stage didn't reorder the bounty list.
Original Name of post:
Deej, please help me, I dismantled The Supremacy
I'm not the first. I feel terrible. I had the supremacy from the Queens bounty, I was switching to it and... I accidentally dismantled it. I made a mistake but that was going to be my favorite sniper. I just feel... I don't know, I want it back. I was so proud of owning it and I loved the way it felt. I can't believe I just did that...
I was playing the weekly trying to snipe hydras near the archon priest.
Edit: I used agile rewards skilled hand, finds more ammo, aims instantly and it had bonus damage last shot.
Here are the pics

I can't save you from accidental dismantling, any more than you can save me from throwing grenades at the thing I'm using for cover. Sadly, human error is a thing. We all do it. Don't beat yourself up too hard.
