I hope it is accidental.
The changes to the material exchange discourage higher level players from doing patrol missions.
I had been saving up materials to exchange for Vanguard Marks. I can no longer do that. The new system only allows you to buy materials. I have loads of materials I don't need to get them any quicker. There is now no reason for players to do patrols.
I had already found that there were often too few people to take part in public events now there will be even less.
I find that playing the same few strikes over and over again to get a few Vanguard Marks gets boring. Playing a few missions to collect some materials broke it up and made it more interesting. I like the public events but they can be difficult on your own.
Please re-instate the ability to sell materials AND also keep the new system for buying them. It is a more realistic system to be able to buy and sell and it will encourage people to play more parts of the game.
Thank you.

Please explain.. What is the reward for completing a public event? How many rewards can you get a day? As it is now I have no idea. Do I have to check this kind of stuff every time they stick their greedy fingers inside and call it a patch! I used to get one shard doing the event and one in the mail. Now it's either nothing for doing it and a mote of light in the mail. Way to go and blam that up bungie! Why? Just because you can is BS! Stop messing with things that aren't broken!
