It's honestly very nice to have it synchronized across characters and no weekly cap. It allows players to choose who they want to play on and still progress with other characters, if they care to go through the process of switching characters. Additionally, it still rewards players for doing what they want to do. If you like a piece of crucible gear, but can't stand a game mode that rewards players with shoddy connections, you don't have to slog through something that you don't enjoy. You can do the Taniks strike for the 1,000,000,000th time and still progress towards that sick ass looking crucible piece of gear. Also, don't be sitting there, complaining that you'll "have" to go back to the tower constantly. I know, you know, and everybody else knows that if you don't want to be going back to the tower every 17 strikes or 17-26 crucible matches.

  • You will now have to go back to the tower because you maxed you marks. After 34 strikes if they stay the same of 6marks. Crucible is the same if you don't loss which in iron banner we don't, 48wins straight. I normally would go to the tower I would just switch characters and join back with my team and continue to play. Now I will have to go back to the tower every 30 games to cash in my marks and then go back to join my team (which will piss them off as we normally don't stop for anything).

  • 34 strikes, assuming you somehow do every last one in 5 minutes with load-in and matchmaking times included, would take you 170 minutes or nearly 3 hours to max out your marks. 3 hours is a lot of time to just be grinding your nose against strikes, especially if you're doing it at breakneck pace. 99% of the people who play destiny would certainly want a break after 34 strikes. Of the 1% of players who can do 30+ strikes in a row without batting an eye, a majority of them wouldn't even bat an eye at a few lost marks. Assuming you'll still be able to earn marks from repeatable activities, what Bungie is trying to do here is limit the speed at which people hit end game, to avoid having sudden crashes where players are left wondering why it only took them 12 hours to hit the new cap of power, when they had spent some amount of the 1200 marks they had stored to fill in the spots that were left open from the items that they got from the faction packages that they got from edging their factions and pumping the last bit of experience into them. In other words. Relax. Just enjoy the game and don't focus so much on your marks. Destiny is a game, not a life or a job.
