I, too, have not played much Pvp except IB or for exotic bounties. The patch does not bother me though. With the weekly Xur, nightfall, raid, and engram rewards, the pvp faction vendors really have nothing I want to buy. This may change with the DLC? I was already spending my marks on weapons and just dismantling them for energy when they hit 200 cap. Now at least I can buy materials with the marks when they cap out.
