I generally don't partake in the whole 'bad business practice' discussions on here.. but noticed something pretty irritating while doing Dawning activities.
I pick up one of the dailies from Ikora, have to get 10 phaseglass (annoying as hell to find) and kill 30 fanatics.. so an hour later (fanatics only exist in 1 public event and only 1 roams on nessus apparently).. I turn it in, get an ugly Sparrow.. I'm consoled by the thought "well i'll dismantle it and get some bright dust for something i actually want".. makes sense since Dawning items are behind the Eververse wall right? I got 2 shards and glimmer.
....
It's just sad at this point.. I do the grind, get something I don't want and expect to get a little currency to put towards something I actually do want.. nope, **** off they say. After everything else that's gone on.. weak s***.
