MODERATORS
It's about time to get rid of them. I didn't see any good use for them besides being annoying to gather.
For those of us that have amassed tens of thousands of them since the beginning of D2 they are basically an easy way to replenish glimmer at Rahool which translates to many other things.
I'm glad they're disposing of essentially useless currencies, but making everything cost glimmer, not increasing the glimmer cap, AND taking away easy sources of glimmer is only going to make glimmer the most annoying currency to get.
Personally, I'm CONSTANTLY running out of glimmer from focusing the shit ton of engrams that drop from activities and buying transmog bounties.
I have a clanmate who doesn't play regularly and he told us right after this article dropped that Legendary Shards aren't even what he struggles with. It's Cores, Prisms, Ascendant Shards, and Alloys so to him this does nothing in "leveling the playing field".
To me this just looks like Bungie saying "grind more".
EDIT:
So they put out this tweet: https://twitter.com/Destiny2Team/status/1702457131331690712?t=OfJcve99OraFYCtoIvpvwA&s=19
(fuck elon share this info elsewhere)

Yeah lots of people have been doing this. Wish Bungie would fully move or officially open a mastodon account.
They kinda saw what you wrote I guess.
Yeah. The cap of glimmer always got me wondering.
Most other stuff can be gotten easy. If you grind the hardest difficulties. But still rare. I fully agree with you
I was actually surprised reading the update at all the things that cost shards, because I've had so many for so long they just don't even register heh
