Wtf else do you use the marks for? Do you really need the guns or the armor? Or do you break them down to get ascendants? If so, is it that hard for you to get ascendant shards and energy? [spoiler] Materials don't take long to farm, but I have nothing else to spend marks on. And when I'm maxed way before the week is over, its nice to spend them on something useful. To each their own I guess, carry on.[/spoiler]
