Btw, take that, non-Vortex-using Voidwalkers!

I wouldn't stand in one spot and pull the trigger even if you were actually paying me to do it. And no, to me it is in no way preferable to playing the actual game. Maybe to you it is... but as usual you don't represent everyone.

You hate Cody. It's super adorable. I get it. You're also ironically being just like him in the opposite extreme. He doesn't represent everyone. You don't either. Same with me. Having a quick glimmer farm for those like Cody is awesome, whether you'd use it or not. There's a reason that loot cave resonated before. This is even neater. But yeah, Bungie's gonna patch it.

Excuse me. I twice made it clear I was talking about myself. Cody didn't. I find myself shaking my head at your false equivalence.

Yeah, except that it was relatively clear he meant "this is how it is to me and people who think like me [who are correct]", and except for where you said they should patch it, which would mean taking away the ability to do this, which means you think Cody's way to play is less valid than yours-- a neat parallel to him thinking your reasons to play are less understandable.
Personally the last time I didn't have enough glimmer for something was months ago, because weapon and armor upgrades are cheap and most of the stuff I actually buy uses rarer currencies. I have dozens of glimmer increase consumables because I only use them when my glimmer count gets down to a few thousand. When I do want more glimmer-- just in case-- I run strikes and use some of those glimmer increasers.
As to the question, I don't think they're going to change this. The Ishtar Commons is a farm, and when the enemies move against each other it's time to break out the combine, that's how it's been since the beginning. (I've lost hours to that area-- not because I was farming, but because I have a bit of a problem with leaving enemies alive, and when you go there it's rare to not have any in sight or on your motion tracker.)

There were definitely enough enemies there to recharge Nova Bomb. You only need 8-9 Thralls to get it back to 100% and I think the enemies there give more Super energy than Thralls (I might be wrong)

Nope. I thought so at first, too, but killing three Majors seems to have the same effect as killing 3 thralls (except for the Orbs of Light, of course).

It might be... but not from this. You could probably get similar results from Fist of Havoc + Aftermath or Nova Bomb + Vortex + that Voidwalker helmet.

Aftermath/Vortex don't do nearly enough damage and enemies tend to move out of those effects very quickly. Obsidian Mind can definitely generate a full super, but not with that few enemies (it needs 8-9 at once for a full refresh, iirc).

Excuse me. I twice made it clear I was talking about myself. Cody didn't. I find myself shaking my head at your false equivalence.

Beyond that, sure, I've been in situations where I needed glimmer quickly. Two iron banners ago I wanted a second scout rifle and was ~1000 glimmer short. I ran the little loop up the cliffs at the entrance to the Cindars on Venus for exactly 15 minutes (I set myself a timer!). But, I wasn't thrilled to do so even though it was less pure grindy that the (awesome looking) stand in one spot murder fest shown here.

Ideally, Bungie would institute a class of missions with a glimmer multiplier or some such thing. Something that encourages players to play while still granting that quick surge of Glimmer that is sometimes needed. First off, I'd like to see the Iron Banner itself be sorta self funding instead of a huge glimmer drain it is now. And for non-PVP maybe some missions where you raid an enemy glimmer mining operation or fight your way to a crashed enemy glimmer hauler. It just seems like there should be solutions that fit in with Destiny instead of players having to "break the game" (please note the quotes :) ) to do it themselves...

I love all of those ideas. I wish Crucible in general paid out more. You could play it all day and still not get where or what you need as far as glimmer goes. Hopefully Bungie does add glimmer missions or provide higher payouts in the near future.

Not to minimize your frustration - I have this happen a lot and it's super (lol) annoying. I just wanted to clarify that it doesn't happen at random - there's a specific (hopefully fixable) cause.

Strange, your statement doesn't fit with my maxed out glimmer account. Know how I got so much? I can't exactly tell you! I just played the game doing the things I wanted to at the time. None of which included standing in one spot pulling the trigger.

Cool. I bet I've played more than you and upgraded more things than you, and constantly re-maxing glimmer can be a real bitch.

If you actually wanted to be honest you'd realize that not everybody puts earning glimmer (or any other currency) as their top priority. Some of us still play because we find the game fun.

Agreed. It's sure not my top priority. I still play because I find the game fun. Getting a lot of glimmer, especially when trying to get a lot in a hurry, is a total pain in the ass regardless. I'm quite thankful for these trigger mashing glimmer things that people find, and I look forward to using them while I can. Stop being the Cody Cop and go play Destiny. It's way more fun.
