Legendary Marks
So, when TTK drops, our Vanguard and Crucible marks go away and are replaced with Legendary Marks. Legendary marks cap out at 200, but can be used to purchase from both Vanguard, Crucible and Faction. Not only that, they are now shared between characters, we are essentially losing 600% of our marks and gaining triple the ways to spend them... I am all for simplifying, but something tells me this is more of a ploy to keep us playing for more.
At least with the old way, I could go buy a legendary vanguard weapon AND crucible weapon and still have 50 of each marks for whatever. Now, I can only get one...

Edit: I understand that the marks are shared between all characters and can be earned on one and spent by another, I get it. What I am saying is we should be able to store up to 400, minimum, since that is what we are currently able to do (200 Vanguard and 200 Crucible).

This is important because the grind to 40 will probably be a real b**ch, while the most heavily mark-rewarding activities are sure to be on the high end. Getting one there will support working on the others. Another nice perk is that even just grinding the little daily activities will get you enough for a mark purchase fairly quickly now. Before, those 5 mark rewards from dailies could take a while to add up. Now you can reach rewards faster if you like to divide your time amongst your guardians evenly. The downside is that your effective mark limit is a sixth of what it was before. This is irrelevant if you're fine spending your marks as you go, and only really serves to limit players from storing up marks for mass gear purchases on release of a new DLC. Keep in mind that there is [i]no[/i] weekly limit on marks now, so the collective pool has no downside there. On the whole, it's a nice change in my opinion.
