Thanks, that is all I was trying to say in the long initial rant right after I went to exchange all these materials I have been farming. I never thought I was cheating or using an exploit like some keep replying with. PvP gear sold by vendors? Those replies must be playing another version of Destiny. I never seen it either. Why limit the scope how a game can be played? I can't figure that out either. One would also think that if keeping both ways was some huge mastermind exploit they could have created a fix to keep both sides happy like, um, let all 5 vendors accept both marks. I would be fine with no rep gain since 4/5 vendor access is better than 1/5. I could hold my nose and grind through the Crucible for any Crucible rep I needed until I could use my vanguard marks to buy stuff. One would also assume/expect when removing a feature from day 1 some notes as to why it was removed and how the original way was going to be replaced would also curb the complaints. Just imagine if they removed crucible marks from PvP and replace all vendor purchases with vanguard marks. I assume everyone would love it. The reasoning behind that move would ensure everyone wouldn't cheat themselves out of enjoying ALL parts of Destiny. It would be an exploit if anyone could PvP only and then skip right to the hard raid. Making this change would even more extend the longevity of Destiny. Hell, remove all crucible and vanguard marks and make Guardian marks that only are obtained through completing story missions. We don't want people to forget about the rich drop story line and forget why PvP exists along with the strikes and raids.
