EDIT #1 BEGIN - Summary for those who missed the OP long a$$ complaint:
Removal of material exchange for vendor reputation and marks generated this post.
Using a Day 1 feature NOT exploit to access and buy legendary gear and avoid PvP for personal reasons.
EDIT #1 END
First we get a ton of mods to fix the PvP whining resulting in PvE nerfs, then 2 PvP events to 1 PvE but still more PvE nerfs.
Now take away more access to vendor weapons and armor to those of us who HATE PvP with a passion. I was fine farming for material and purchase Crucible items even though it was daunting. Never complained since I could avoid PvP.
What the heck was the logic behind removing material exchange for Crucible rep and marks?
I never saw any posts or complaints about resource exchange. If anything, it kept PvP haters like me away from ruining PvP games even more than they are already.
If this game was advertised as a PvP centric game with a scarce PvE element that would take a back seat to everything PvP I would have passed on it like I did with Titanfall and other PvP games.
Either bring back the material exchange for Crucible marks and rep, open all vendors to accept both currencies or I'll just play PvP to piss as many off as possible to obtain a K/D of 0.00.
If your going to ruin PvE, I'll do my part to ruin PvP as best that I can. Maybe I'll even be stoked to play Iron Banner 3.0 and shoot for the #1 spot in the worst PvP of all time.
Just as you have people that hate PvE, from reading the posts for the past couple of months, you have more that hate PvP.
Please tell us now that Destiny is 80% PvP and 20% PvE so we know where you stand.
All I know is after waiting and hoping Bungie would bring some love to PvE, all we got was a third and fourth kick in the balls.
After the expansion is released and there is still no resolution to this horrible PvE treatment, I'll waste my extra time playing even more like a complete noob in PvP just to piss as many people off as possible.
I'll highly recommend that others who feel the same do too.
If this was just "another" unintended side effect from a patch I may feel bad for ranting. If not, enjoy the last $ you'll see from me or anyone else who feels the same way.
If there is some great addition in the expansion to nullify this rant I truly apologize in advance.
BTW, it might help to post a list of the 100 worst PvP Guardians in your app. I would like to try and make the top 10 of that list.

I've been seeing a few of these posts pop up regarding the changes to material exchange, and it most definitely feels like we have a few people essentially coming out of the woodwork on the issue. I love the new material exchange, it's saved me tons of time and I've already used it a half dozen times. I used material exchange, in its previous state, once. Giving fifty materials for what I believe was 5 marks was a horrible exchange, considering the amount of time it took to get 50 mats was significantly more than it took to get 5 marks. It never once occurred to me that for some players this would be their only method for earning those marks, considering how incredibly inefficient and time consuming it would be. These players should not be forced to play the PvP if they really don't want to. That being said, they also shouldn't be barred from obtaining faction gear, especially considering that the factions only involvement in the game is providing patrol missions, a strictly PvE element. So in short, I like the new material exchange, but faction vendors should accept both types of marks since they have no involvement in the PvP side but do play a very minor role in PvE. The crucible vendors should only accept crucible marks, vanguard vendors should only accept vanguard marks, but there's absolutely no reason for the others to be picky.
