Destiny 2 players berate \u201cuseless\u201d Legendary Shards change BungieBungie has confirmed that Legendary Shards will be removed in Season 23, but not everyone is happy with the change with many Destiny 2 players questioning what the benefit is and others dreading what it could mean. Once Season 23 arrives, all Legendary Shards will be deleted as confirmed in a TWID posted on September 14. Ever since they were introduced Legendary Shards have been a crucial part of Destiny\u2019s economy. They are used for various transactions such as purchasing Exotic gear, focusing weapons & armor at vendors, and can even be traded in at Rahool for large amounts of Glimmer. However, with Legendary Shards set to be removed, there are concerns that it could leave the Destiny economy in a less than ideal spot. Legendary Shards being deleted upsets Destiny 2 community Frustrated by the announcement that Legendary Shards are being removed one player posted on Reddit: \u201cIn my opinion, I think frankly it\u2019s a useless change, it won\u2019t do anything to the game, and if they replace it with anything it could potentially be a pain to grind it to reasonably buy anything.\u201d OP continued on to describe the decision as \u201cvery odd,\u201d not understanding why Bungie would make such a decision at this stage when some players already have over 20,000 Legendary Shards saved up. The main concerns Guardians had were how the change would affect Destiny\u2019s economy: \u201cThere better be a hell of a lot more ways to get Glimmer. Prepare to always be low on Glimmer, with no easy way to get it.\u201d \u201cOnly good if that means Glimmer is the default currency, with a raised cap,\u201d another like-minded player responded with a different reply following up \u201cI\u2019m against this unless the cap is ridiculously high.\u201d A particularly skeptical user replied: \u201cThis is probably a way to keep engagement up. No doubt they\u2019ll introduce another mechanic that requires more frequent or consistent play to make up for the lack of Shards. Or they\u2019ll starve us of Glimmer by making everything take Glimmer.\u201d Bungie\u2019s justification for removing Legendary Shards is it believes they are an \u201cunstable,\u201d part of the economy that is difficult to balance new content around. It also admitted that the frequent \u201cloopholes,\u201d and exploits related to Shards played a role in the decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
