Improve Matterweave, Rainmaker, and Matterglass Lens

Bungie Suggestion

So Matterweaves, Rainmakers, and Weapon Telemetries are constantly in my inventory and rarely every used. Why?

 

Matterweaves - break up gameplay by forcing me to go into my inventory to activate the item again for the next core drop.

Rainmaker - I don't usually have issues with glimmer.

Matterglass Lens - because Weapon Telemetries have no use when Gunsmith materials are both more plentiful and give more progress to Gunsmith level. This is compounded by a lack of a vendor refresh but that's another subject that has been done to death.

 

So here is my suggestion for improving these items:

Make Matterweave, Rainmaker, and Matterglass all single time consumables BUT make them activate-able on a toggle so that when you get the drop it activates the next one in the stack until you disable the toggle or log-out.

To compensate for the loss of the 4hr duration of Rainmaker and Matterglass those items could be changed to either last a shorter duration of time (say 1hr) and have an increased chance or increased quantity for their drop.

 

TL;DR - consumable currency/material drop boosters are inconvenient. Give them a toggle.

..or let us delete them in a block instead of one at a time. I recently ground through my pile of matterweaves because the reward is actually useful, but I'll be damned if I'm doing the same for rainmakers and lenses.

I said this yesterday but I'd rather they just delete them and replace them with the things they give.

Just give me enhancement cores, glimmer and gunsmith telemetries. It's a waste of space.

Just delete them. Consumables like this don't fit in destiny.

Could maybe have a ghost mod for auto activation of these.

I would also like more uses for Mod Components. When I have most of the mods, they just stack up. Would be nice if there was like a "Full stack for an Ascended Shard" or something option.

I just wish we could delete Mod Components in bulk. Preventing a second stack from forming has become my loading screen mini game for the past few seasons. Getting anything from deleting them would just be icing on the cake.

Honestly? Remove them from the game. Enhanced Matterweave should just be an enhancement core drop. Rainmaker should be rolled into the weekly "first X ranks are bonus XP" bonus. Matterglass lens should be removed entirely.

The point of these things was to give people a reward that required them to play again, but I don't think they've made an appreciable difference in doing that. I've never seen anyone say "oh shit I just got a matterweave, I should do one more activity to use it," in either personal space or in online community space.

These items are a nuisance. Destiny's other investment systems do this job better.

I have 180 Rainmakers and 213 Pure Matterglass lenses. I never use them nor have any reason to...

Or just get rid of them entirely

If a matter weave were to drop, just drop a core instead. Amaze

If rainmaker were to drop, just give us a little splash of glimmer. Amaze

If matter glass lense were to drop, just drop some gunsmith materials. Amaze

Give me a raise bungie.

Just let me turn them in for their respective currency. They serve no purpose but to slow down gameplay. Lemme go to Banshee and turn in Matterweaves for an equal number of Cores, Rainmakers for a set amount of glimmer and Matterglass for a set amount of Telemetries. We don't need these middleman consumables.
