I suggested removing the rep gains, but you obviously chose to ignore that. More importantly I understand that you disagree, which is fine, but your metaphors are a little off. Crucible marks are used to purchase faction gear, yet you can gain faction rep without the crucible. The old method allowed players who didnt enjoy PvP to still aquire faction gear if they wanted it. That gave people the freedom to choose which way they prefered to play and still participate with the factions. Now that choice is gone. While I'm sure you have convinced yourself that your opinion and your way of playing is the only correct choice. Plenty of people disagree with you and have managed to do so with out acting like a jackass.
