Yes because there easier to get! Do you notice how easy it is to stack materials now? Its not just buying them with marks. Dailys can give you 16, certain bounties give you 10. It would allow a person to achieve max 100 marks in the game easily. This design decision is so clear to me i dont understand how people cant see it. Before it was in the game but terribly inefficient. Very vauable material, no alot of valuable materials for a little bit of marks. They completely removed the grinding. Which i love. But dont you see my point of view how this would make all forms of collecting marks (vangaurd) useless and a waste of time. I got 100s of matierals just today. Imagine a week? I maxed out like 5 guns today.
