I apologize, I miss read your post. I Thought you were saying 25 vanguard marks would have givin you 20 crucible. My mistake.
My question is Why did they bother giving us that option in the 1st place?
I can earn faction rep without the crucible, why should I have to run crucible to get their gear?

I always thought that was strange too. Maybe they thought people would have so much fun farming their worlds that they'd have this immense surplus of materials that they wouldn't know what to do with it. So in the end they could just give it to a quartermaster. That's really my only explanation. As for earning faction rep without needing the Crucible, I have no explanation for that. Just another mystery in Destiny that doesn't have time to be explained why it can't be explained. If they're going to allow that then they should allow Vanguard marks to be used to buy their weapons and armor. Or at least have different sets of weapons and armor for Vanguard and Crucible marks.

I can agree with that. It would be a reasonable alternative. The funny part is, now they have so many new ways to aquire materials your almost guaranteed to have that surplus. Yet, because they removed the exchange, there is nothing to do with those excess materials.
