I'm so amazed this is like the fifth tread about this. Seriously you folks traded 50 mats for 5 marks and 25 rep. That's just insane to me because that is the worst trade off I have ever seen. Not to mention even if you suck at pvp its not that bad once you find a weapon setup you like in the game. It can actually be fun to do if you have folks with you in a group. Also on all three of you characters you did a total of 33 strikes, 9 pvp matches, and 0 raids. Why the bloody hell do you even need mats if you not doing anything but patrol? I mean seriously what are you doing in patrol that even requires three 28 character's if you not going to raid and do strikes more often. So bloody confused as to how you can consider farming mats to be the only thing in pve. I'm going to have to down vote this because you have done nothing but patrol.
