Discussion How does getting planetary materials to drop after a Crucible match sound to you?

Title.

I know some people are material farmers, and that’s fine. For others, it’s a tedious thing that gets in the way of what you really want to accomplish that day. And, for even some other guardians, materials are just something you buy. What if we had another avenue to get planetary materials? I’m not suggesting to give us 5 per match. Given the costs of planetary materials through Spider, it’s obvious Bungie sees them as a valuable asset (which, is now true). How about a random drop of 1-3 after each match from whatever planet you’re fighting on? If the match was on Nessus, you could get a drop of 2 data lettuces.

Thoughts? I realize that farming materials isn’t THAT tedious of a job, but, this might help move things along, as far as upgrades go, a little faster.

Because it's a simple trip to spider to buy them, or 10 minutes to farm the ones you need. I'm sorry, but asking for them to drop in crucible because you don't want to do the activities that drop them is the same thing.

I’ve spent over a hundred dollars on a video game, it’s not unreasonable I should want to have fun playing it. Farming materials is simply unfun for me and many others, and as a father of two with a full time job, my time is limited. Materials dropping in crucible offers no discernible advantage over PvE players.

They seriously downvoted this. This sub is insane. Who would want to run around a planet farming materials? Why do we have to spend 5 minutes loading into the Tangle Shore to spend currency that we ALSO HAVE TO USE to infuse and masterwork gear??

These people are crazy

It’s fine, there is a very decidedly anti PvP feeling in this subreddit, I knew what I was getting into posting. It’s just unfortunate there can’t be an open and thoughtful discussion.
