Please re-read what I said (I'm not being a smart a$$, I just think you're missing my point). I'm saying that being able to buy then sell for currency plus rep is not right. I also said that I myself made use of selling mats for currency and rep, and recognized that the buff applied to all equipped gear, just like Vanguard bounties, when turned in. In the end, I think we would have to agree to disagree. I just think it's wrong to be able to buy crucible XP without having set foot in the crucible. Which I know, is odd, considering my stats, but comes more from my days as a game designer.
