I would trade it all for a "Game Over" screen.

Heh.

I'd love a wallet like that. :)

(I'd be sad if I got a Game Over screen, though.)

Me, too.

With Halo and other games, even long ones, if I'm enjoying myself, I play in a manner to deliberately postpone getting the ending. I'll stop playing early, I'll do side missions, whatever. If I like the game, I don't want it to end. That's why I like what they've done with Destiny in general. Repeating Destiny missions and strikes is no more repetitive than doing Halo missions over again, and I can count on Bungie to deliver new wrinkles every week (bounties, quests) and new missions every few months.

I'm okay with that. Plus, co-op is a central part of the vision, and PVP is mostly optional. Suits me fine.

Every single decoherent engram I get (blue, purple, whatever) goes to the secondary, no matter where it was collected. (Use the app or DIM to make transfers easy as you get them.) They will decode to crap - as they do now - but the armor provides material for the character that shards it. If your Hunter decrypts them, you get more Sapphire Wire (which you don't really need). If your Titan decrypts them, you get the Plating you crave. It's STILL not enough - but things go MUCH faster than if you didn't do this.

If you can get infinite weapon parts by buying the Trials of Osiris weapon reward repeatedly and dismantling, can you do the same for the Armor?

I ran 6 dragon strikes this evening and walked away with ~15 blue engrams, 5 legendaries and a ship. That's high on legendaries, but on par with my regular experiences.

Usually you get 2-3 weapon parts for blues. Each strike should net you 1-4 greens and 2-4 blues in 10-15 minutes. And you can screw around and have fun while playing, trying out new weapons/perk combos, and glimmer farming. Also there's a 3-4% chance of an exotic dropping and new ships/legendaries probably 10-15% of the time. Don't sweat levelling those up much, just strike playlist it.

Sorry, I'm kinda confused--are you saying I leave some slots empty(I need someone to help me clean my vault), pick up weapons and delete them as I get them? Or do I just use THOSE to level up and then dismantle?

I had this problem with my secondary when I first made it (because the secondary received all sorts of gear that had built up on the primary for months, but hadn't been leveled) - I solved it this way:

...Now I feel like an idiot for never thinking of this.

lol - I didn't think of it either; someone here posted it as a suggestion. I wasted a ton of them too, before I read it. :)

Not saying you're way isn't best for you, just saying that in my case, buying the PoE armor WAS the faster

I agree, in terms of getting to 34 by the earliest date possible, that method is faster. Never said it wasn't. It's just that it's more time spent, for the same end goal. If you were going to play that much anyway (and I suspect you were), great - go for it.

it was closer to 322 for me, though.

380 for me. I got some better rolls on chests I already have, but still no robes.
