The only reason i can think of them removing materials for marks is to stop people from transferring marks from one char to another by first trading marks for materials on one char then moving those to another char and trading for marks....but if you have a 5:1 rate for materials:marks that'd seem like a poor trade.
I've never used my materials for marks but i don't have a problem with people being able to do this if they have too many resources.

Even if you trade materials between characters to trade in for marks, it still won't cut down on the total amount of time you spend gathering the materials. I don't see how they could consider trading materials between characters an exploit.

Here's a simple solution! give the players the ability to use either marks with the factions instead of only PVP marks! another option give the players the ability to buy marks with glimmer say 1,000 glimer for 1 mark (vanguard or crucuible) so that the marks will hold their high value... god know's I can't use glimer for anything else and I've been capped for over two weeks now.

I started banking all of those 200 glimmer items to help get around the cap

That's a brilliant idea! I feel like a fool for never considering that... ( >_<) +2 for you!
