I agree with everything THX 007 said. Without access to Crucible Marks/Reputation in PVE and a reliable source of Ascendant Materials, this game really isn’t worth playing, at least for me. And to T3CH54M4, since you advocate purity for the Crucible, maybe you can tell me why the faction vendors, Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and FWC, only accept Crucible Marks. They have nothing to do with the Crucible and should accept Vanguard Marks as well. The currency scheme in Destiny has always been a mess and now it’s worse. I’ve spent hundreds of hours pursuing a strategy which Bungie has just derailed by changing the rules in the middle of the game. Bad form Bungie.
