To your points made. I can whole heartedly agree with #1. Currently the only plan for getting weapons from the faction vendors is to raise their level through rep to get a package for a chance item. I do not pvp nor think you should get handed pvp marks for pve related activities, however if I can gain rep for those vendors at the expense of vanguard rep I should be able to use my vanguard marks for their items (even though they are sparse). I still have to earn those marks just not in a pvp type setting. #3 definitely not an option unless they supplement more vendors for the pve players. Simpler solution would just be to allow van marks. #2 I mean you could do that, but honestly when I do a patrol the missions come from every faction at the tower. I mean it is silly that i get a mission from dead orbit to collect certain drops and then get +10 vanguard rep for completion. If that is the case then it could be changed that before selecting a mission you know the type and who you are working for. When you accept you get that factions rep as a reward for completing, if done this way they should raise the gain to 25 if you remove gains from completing bounties or heroics while wearing the faction cape The crucible venders should remain that way, I have no issue with that. However we are limited to weapons/armor
