So I got on today and did some strike playlist missions. Some I finished But some of the harder challenges I Flat out Failed. Now I'm okay with failing missions. They are meant to be a challenge. But the issue is this. Why would I spend an hour grinding a level 22 or 24 strike for 3-6 Vanguard marks when I can just do skirmishes in the crucible and earn 10-20 Crucible marks......
Bungie, you already capped us at 100 a week. Which is fine. I'm happy with the rate I earn marks in the crucible. But why not then let us earn vanguard marks at about the same rate? Please? You are already asking us to wait 3 weeks to buy 2 pieces of legendary gear from the venders . (100 marks/ week, legendary gear costs 120-150 marks)
Please bump up the amount of marks we can earn per strike. I really don't want to have to grind 30-40 strikes per week. That's like 30 hours! No offense But I have a job and a life too. I can't earn 100 each week at this rate. It's still a lot if you even cut it in half,15 hrs -ish. But at least I might be willing to do that much.
Just a thought.
PS. Plz don't nerf the rate of crucible marks I'm getting, It's my only ray of hope at this point.

You can buy legendary gauntlets, boots and chest armor for 65 marks each. Helmets are like 120ish and weapons are 150 each with sparrows capping in at 175. In two weeks, I could get a weapon and 3 pieces of legendary armor and enough strange coins from doing the raid playlist to buy at least 1 exotic item (I got about 15 coins while capping vanguard marks from engrams, and 4 other people on my friends list were right there too in collecting coins). I don't see where it is taking you 3 weeks for 2 legendary items.

You can also get marks by collecting and trading in spinmetal/spirit blooms/ helium filaments etc.

Vanguard marks isn't that hard to grind for. We can finish a hard strike in around 30 minutes for 6 marks. 9+ hours for 100 vanguard marks isn't that bad. But it does take a long time. They should remove the cap IMO.

I agree. Its OK to be hard and tedious, but not this brutally slow. Even just 10 a strike would be an enormous improvement.

I think the reason they did this is for the fact not everyone likes crucible, so in order to give vanguard marks to everyone this was their option.
