Guy, I couldn't care less about the level 30 shit. I've raided like 2 times and completed once. I like some of the weapons the factions have. I don't do PVP. I'm not asking to have unfettered access to the Crucible vendors. I'm asking that my Vanguard marks be taken for the factions. Does wearing faction crap not allow me to up my Faction rank? Are 80% of the patrol missions in PVE not Faction related? Why then should Faction gear be exclusive to PVP? I can see gear that gives you more grenade or super energy for Guardian kills be exclusive to PVP, but not normal gear. What does it hurt to allow Vanguard marks to be used as Faction currency? It has no adverse effects on you or anyone else. I am not advocating what the OP is suggesting. I will not ruin someone else's game by sitting in the Crucible and being a prick. Some god damned fairness is all I'm asking for. It's the same reason I get pissed about weapons being nerfed in PVE because in PVP they are deemed OP.
