Unfortunately your response is a little vague, so I'm going to have to make assumptions. My point was you should only be able to find the full rewards by playing the full game, my ratios were certainly exaggerated. I agree there is an imbalance with 4/5 vendors requiring crucible marks, and that is the thing they should look to fix, not allow people to circumvent the crucible entirely. I'm with you on preferring PvE, but considering most exotic bounties require PvP, there is some amount of it that you just have to deal with, or forgo the rewards from it.

Personally, I don't think PvP should be required if you don't want to do it. The sacrifice for not running it was exotic bounties. I don't see why they feel the need to punish players for sticking to the part of the game they enjoy most. Faction gear shouldn't be gated behind PvP seeing as your constantly running missions for them.
