BNG: Why did you remove Materials for Marks?

When I 1st read the patch notes I was excited to see the addition of Marks for Upgrade Materials. Finally I would have something else to spend my excess Vanguard marks on. I always like when games offer you options. If you needed extra marks, you could exchange some materials, now if you need extra materials you could trade in some marks. Of course, that excitement was quickly dashed when I discovered that you REPLACED the (Materials for Marks) with the (Marks for Materials). Why? Do you guys have some personal grudge against choices and options? Why does everything have to be [b]one way OR the other[/b]. Why won't you provide multiple options instead of limiting us to just one? Why can't you let your players decide what they prefer to do instead of forcing everything to be all or nothing? Instead of letting people choose if they want to play PvP or PvE, you seem to be trying to push people into both. * Why not just let people enjoy the parts of Destiny they love without punishing them for it? * By replacing the material exchange, people have no choice but to run the crucible if they want to purchase anything from the faction vendors. Where before, if you didn't want to run the crucible, you could farm some materials, trade them in for marks, than spend them on the faction vendors. Well, not anymore... I just don't understand. * Why couldn't you just remove the (reputation/glimmer) gains and leave the option to trade materials for marks? At an exchange rate of 5 to 1, would being able to swap one type of Mark for another really have been so bad? * * You provided so many great new ways to aquire extra materials, than took away the only other feature they could be used for. * [url=http://www.sonyrewards.com/en/browse/catalog/PlayStation/PlayStation-3-Games?sku=DESTINYPS3]Sony online store[/url] [url=https://store.xbox.com/en-AU/Xbox-One/Games/Destiny/212b4dcb-549a-452b-9fe8-51748c1f7e07]Xbox online store[/url][quote]Destiny is a next generation first person shooter featuring an unprecedented combination of cinematic storytelling, cooperative, competitive, and public gameplay, and personal activities that are woven into an expansive, persistent online world.

  • Because if they left in material exchange for marks, along with the new marks for materials, it provided a method to convert Vanguard marks to Crucible marks. Bungie's intention is obviously to have those remain mutually exclusive. It would've been better to have kept quiet and have things as they were because what it boils down to is, PvE players who complained about needing to farm materials have effectively removed their access to Faction gear for themselves. A case of be careful what you wish for...
