Destiny 2’s economy has undergone significant changes in recent years, with various currencies being discontinued to simplify the game for new players. However, the decision to phase out Legendary Shards in season 23 has faced backlash from the community. Players argue that stockpiling these shards was a way to avoid the tedious grind for Glimmer, which has a hard cap and hasn’t been increased despite player requests. The removal of Legendary Shards is seen as the wrong solution to the issue, as it creates a wealth disparity and forces players to constantly scrounge for resources. Many believe this is a ploy by Bungie to keep players engaged for longer periods. The core problem lies in the lack of distinction between the early, middle, and late-game economies, and the punishing costs for new players. While a change was needed, players feel that Bungie should have focused on addressing the Glimmer grind or increasing Legendary Shard drops instead. The upcoming release of The Final Shape will mark the complete removal of Legendary Shards from the game, without any currency exchange programs for those with large stockpiles. Despite Bungie’s promise of better drop rates for Glimmer and other materials, players remain concerned about the future of the game’s economy.
