At least now we know what the Quartermasters have been doing with all the Mat's us PvE players have been turning in... stockpiling and re-bundling to sell to sell back to the PvP players, lol.
AND, at a huge mark-up no less. We'd get 5 marks+glim/rep for 50 mats, now they charge 10 marks for 20 mats :P
Crucilbe: 2W + 2L = 10 CM's = 48 minutes + search/load time. How many mat's can a PvE player gather in that time? A LOT more than 20

12 in 40 mins = 2 strikes

nexus vanguard tiger strike takes ~9mins x2 = ~18mins, 12 marks, time to find 20 relic iron on mars including travelling to the farming spot = probably about the same amount of time to be honest depending on luck, but can be longer if the chest gods aren't smiling on you or someone else is farming them ahead and not alerting anyone else to them

It is a case of being able to farm whilst not being bored. I can farm for SP till the venutian cows come home but its a lot more fun to spend that time in pvp. Erm......... I mean..... DOWN WITH MAT BUYERS VIVA LA RESISTANCE

I only farm while doing van bounties and public event hunting, and still collect enough to do my upgrades and sell to the QM's. beats being bored while waiting for the PE to drop, or being bored playing through the same strike for the @#$% time. Bungie needs some fair trade sanctions, lol. and some PvE / PvP referees. XBL is down, nothing to do but gripe on the interweb, haha. on a brighter note, Thorn seemed back and more OP then ever when I was using it earlier. Bad Juju does appear improved, and the Suros'ers have something to complain about... another grab bag of forum rage brought to you by Bungie.
