Thanks for telling me how I should play the game and enjoy it. Can't believe I've been playing it the wrong way since the release. Glad they removed a core feature to limit my vendor access from 5 to 1 unless I PvP. It was too hard to keep testing all the kinds of weapons, upgrade them and decide which ones I liked and then get gear to compliment the weapons I want to use. Now I can just use whatever random weapon I get and force myself to like it. I can also force myself to enjoy weapons I don't like since the gear I have only boosts those weapons I hate. Yep, sounds like a great way to enhance game play for all.

I'm not saying that you should have to pvp to enjoy the game. I also don't believe the faction gear should only be purchasable with crucible marks. I think you should be able to purchase those with both. I never told you how to play the game, or how to enjoy it. But the entire game shouldn't revolve around you because "you don't like to pvp". The best weapons/armor in the game come from PVE. So there's always that

I get that but removing a day 1 feature which allowed those who wanted Faction items is not a good move. Even if you remove the Crucible vendor who doesn't sell crucible items (not sure why they are called Crucible vendors anyway) we still cannot access 3/5 vendors unless we play PvP a lot. You can only get 100 Crucible marks a week. If you want to get 5 weapons and 5 armor from the Faction vendors you'll need to play a hell of a lot of PvP. Why should anyone be forced to do that? Waiting for a fix is fine if there was acknowledgement of one coming. All I see is speculation of possible fixes. Being forced to play PvP to buy items from 80% of the vendors is ridiculous. Rushing through the raid is also not a good solution. There is no guarantee to get what you want. I would rather buy the weapons and armor I want to use and then try to get the raid items that compliment the legendary ones I like. Maybe I farm to unwind and relax. Maybe I do both farming and watching sports. Maybe I farm and chat to others in different games. Sometimes I rather play with no stress. Farming is as stressful as sleeping. Yes I can play PvP and sit but I don't find joy in ruining games unlike most of the vile replies apparently do.

Lol well sorry you're getting the hate. And I feel you, there should certainly be more vendors offering things for vanguard marks, and they shouldn't have pulled it without fair warning to gauge the community's reaction.
