BNG: Why did you remove Materials for Marks?
When I 1st read the patch notes I was excited to see the addition of Marks for Upgrade Materials. Finally I would have something else to spend my excess Vanguard marks on. I always like when games offer you options. If you needed extra marks, you could exchange some materials, now if you need extra materials you could trade in some marks.
Of course, that excitement was quickly dashed when I discovered that you REPLACED the (Materials for Marks) with the (Marks for Materials).
Why? Do you guys have some personal grudge against choices and options? Why does everything have to be [b]one way OR the other[/b]. Why won't you provide multiple options instead of limiting us to just one? Why can't you let your players decide what they prefer to do instead of forcing everything to be all or nothing?
Instead of letting people choose if they want to play PvP or PvE, you seem to be trying to push people into both. * Why not just let people enjoy the parts of Destiny they love without punishing them for it? *
By replacing the material exchange, people have no choice but to run the crucible if they want to purchase anything from the faction vendors. Where before, if you didn't want to run the crucible, you could farm some materials, trade them in for marks, than spend them on the faction vendors.
Well, not anymore...
I just don't understand.
* Why couldn't you just remove the (reputation/glimmer) gains and leave the option to trade materials for marks? At an exchange rate of 5 to 1, would being able to swap one type of Mark for another really have been so bad? *
* You provided so many great new ways to aquire extra materials, than took away the only other feature they could be used for. *

Beyond Evolution: Great post and points!!! Couldn't agree more. Some of us don't care for the crucible. One of the points that were emphasized was that the game could be played whichever way you wanted, and that lone wolves could have a really great experience without PvP. I don't enjoy the crucible very much. I prefer the rest of the game missions and patrols. I enjoy farming for materials. It's fun to go on patrol for bit, have some battles, pick up some chests and get some materials to exchange for vangard marks. Now, it's like Bungie have removed all these fun items and goals to strive for to force ONE single particular way of playing. It was my favorite and best way to get vangard marks and legendary gear apart from the events and drops. Maybe I'm weird, but it's obvious from this thread, I'm not the only one. I enjoy the farming for materials, the looking for chests, the exploration, the patrols, and the in-between battles and events. Hell, I even enjoyed the treasure caves. Going to the fair and shooting at a shooting gallery isn't for everyone, but every now and again, it's definitely fun, as it was on the treasure cave. Why it's been all removed is a mystery. Everyone should play whichever way they find it fun for them. We paid for the game, and continue to play 'cause we enjoy it, so why not add to it instead of removing what we enjoy? It's like Pac-Man removing the pellets because people weren't eating the ghosts. Let us play the way we want to play. Wasn't that the point of having all these ways to play? Oh, and one last thing Bungie: - I will never play a raid: It requires too many people to commit too many hours together for a single mission. A bit absurd really, though it might be great for high school and college kids. - If you know and recognize the Cryptarch sucks, then why don't you change it? - If you want to force people to do "shared shooting", then why is there no matchmaking available everywhere?! - Why do all characters have the same 9 weapons? - Postmaster is now as irrelevant as everything in the north tower and the special orders. You've made that whole building now as irrelevant as the stupid fan on top. - You're turning a game that had a lot of wasted potential and limiting it even more... WHY?!!!!! Bring back the fun! Just pondering...
