I'd be more sympathetic to opinions like this if it weren't for the fact that only eight of the Vendor armor pieces are available from PvE, and 32 are from PvP. For a game that was heavily marketed as supporting both PvP and PvE players, that's not a particularly reasonable split.

That's true. Needing crucible marks for faction gear doesn't make sense, especially when the factions are part of the patrol missions as well as the crucible playlists.
