I've always seen the faction venders as very one sided, despite the implication that they were in the middle of PVE and PVP. It was one thing to only be able to buy Crucible stuff with Crucible currency and reputation and Vanguard stuff with Vanguard reputation and currency, but the factions should be completely neutral. After all, while you're wearing their bond they take reputation from BOTH Crucible and Vanguard. So since I'm letting them take all my Vanguard reputation, isn't it only fair that they should accept Vanguard marks just as much as Crucible? If Bungie wanted to make the factions solely Crucible, then they shouldn't take my Vanguard rep; and even if they did make it where the factions only take Crucible rep and currency and ignore Vanguard, it's still unfair because then there are roughly 4 or 5 PVP venders and 1 or 2 PVE venders. Those of us who preferred PVE could work around all this by exchanging materials for marks, but now we're forced to play PVP in order to purchase 4/5 of the Tower vender's stuff. Is it so hard to make a materials for marks/marks for materials system, and allow the factions to accept Vanguard AND Crucible marks?

Indeed, but also, a lot of the Vangard patrols are missions for the different factions. So shouldn't one get rep with that faction by completing a mission for them?

You only get the reputation for that faction by wearing their class items, but they still only take Crucible marks, which can't be earned in PvE at all. So we still can't get jack-squat from the Factions by only playing PvE.

Agreed, but I was adding that considering many of the patrol missions are for the factions, that perhaps those should maybe add some faction rep even without the class items. Obviously this should be less than when you wear the items. But we definitely shouldn't have to play PvP to get something from the few vendors that sell something useful in the Tower. :)

Yeah, you'd think you'd get a little more rep for helping out the Factions on Patrol, and I've always thought that if I'm wearing a New Monarchy bond and I help them out in Patrol, I should get bonus rep and maybe some marks.
