A BIG F-U to PvE Players, Thanks Bungie

EDIT #1 BEGIN - Summary for those who missed the OP long a$$ complaint: Removal of material exchange for vendor reputation and marks generated this post. Using a Day 1 feature NOT exploit to access and buy legendary gear and avoid PvP for personal reasons. EDIT #1 END First we get a ton of mods to fix the PvP whining resulting in PvE nerfs, then 2 PvP events to 1 PvE but still more PvE nerfs. Now take away more access to vendor weapons and armor to those of us who HATE PvP with a passion. I was fine farming for material and purchase Crucible items even though it was daunting. Never complained since I could avoid PvP. What the heck was the logic behind removing material exchange for Crucible rep and marks? I never saw any posts or complaints about resource exchange. If anything, it kept PvP haters like me away from ruining PvP games even more than they are already. If this game was advertised as a PvP centric game with a scarce PvE element that would take a back seat to everything PvP I would have passed on it like I did with Titanfall and other PvP games. Either bring back the material exchange for Crucible marks and rep, open all vendors to accept both currencies or I'll just play PvP to piss as many off as possible to obtain a K/D of 0.00. If your going to ruin PvE, I'll do my part to ruin PvP as best that I can. Maybe I'll even be stoked to play Iron Banner 3.0 and shoot for the #1 spot in the worst PvP of all time. Just as you have people that hate PvE, from reading the posts for the past couple of months, you have more that hate PvP. Please tell us now that Destiny is 80% PvP and 20% PvE so we know where you stand. All I know is after waiting and hoping Bungie would bring some love to PvE, all we got was a third and fourth kick in the balls. After the expansion is released and there is still no resolution to this horrible PvE treatment, I'll waste my extra time playing even more like a complete noob in PvP just to piss as many people off as possible. I'll highly recommend that others who feel the same do too. If this was just "another" unintended side effect from a patch I may feel bad for ranting. If not, enjoy the last $ you'll see from me or anyone else who feels the same way. If there is some great addition in the expansion to nullify this rant I truly apologize in advance. BTW, it might help to post a list of the 100 worst PvP Guardians in your app. I would like to try and make the top 10 of that list.

    I find some of the responses a bit baffling: [b]1. They had to remove it because if you can get mats for marks, and then marks for mats ... you would exploit the currency[/b] I'm sorry what? You got 5 marks for 50 materials. Now you get 20 materials for 10 marks. So I farm 100 materials. I get 10 marks. I trade that. I get 20 materials. I now have 0 marks and 20 materials. I just lost 80 materials. Clearly I am a criminal mastermind who must be stopped. [b]Crucible marks are for Crucible weapons[/b] I keep reading this in the forums over and over and over again. There are three main problems with it: 1) The only "crucible" weapons in the game are the ones exclusive to crucible drops or the crucible vendors. Just like a Dead Orbit weapon is only available from Dead Orbit. They're just another manufacturer. By this logic, you should only earn Dead Orbit marks for Dead Orbit weapons. 2) Yes, some weapons are better in PvP than PvE. Guess what - some of them are made by the Vanguard. So, there goes that theory. 3) If anything, the various factions should take Vanguard marks since they are the ones responsible for patrol missions (not Crucible matches). Personally, I never sold my mats for marks because I found it faster to just do a strike or public event. But if people really enjoyed farming patrols - I don't see any valid reason not to reward them for it. Bungie themselves say they want to "expand your play". It would be nice to see them actually do that.
