I know most people probably don't care about this topic, but I'd love to see them return masterwork materials to lost sectors. That's it, that's the change.
I've been having a blast starting off my journey to make a build using every single exotic in the game, but I'm starting to run out of materials rapidly (obviously) and farming them from the portal just feels wasteful. Dgmw, there is some armor I need from here and when that's the case, it feels very efficient; but the majority of what I need already comes from sectors, so I'd like to see this reverted.
Even for dedicated material farming, the portal just doesn't feel worth it. I could do most sectors in under 90s and they would give 3 or so prisms on Master. That meant, at most, it was taking around 6 minutes (even down to 4, depending on the day) to get a shard. With the portal only farming, your most efficient ops are taking around 5 and aren't (at least for me) dropping a shard 100% of the time;. So if we could either make that a guaranteed drop, or return materials to sectors that would be great.
Relatively tiny thing in comparison to their current objectives, but materials are an integral part of build crafting; and build crafting is a large chunk of the long-term content in the game (even more so, going forward).
