This seems like a "you" problem. I'm a pve player and stick to vanguard. I have no need for crucible marks. On top of that I haven't bought a single piece of gear in the tower since I was leveling up my second character. These days my only focus is on raid gear and exotic gear. I'm happy with the update and new mat exchange. I despised farming as much as you despise pvp. In fact if I were to stoop to your level I would run around known farming spots and look for people on chest runs. I would rush to those chest in the hopes of opening them before anyone else could, even try to go for them in a random order. Then I would discard my mats in the same time wasting, self-destructive way you would stink up crucible.
