Ok so I have what I think is a great idea to actually give the Factions a better purpose. So as we all know the factions don't even give you level 30 armor and anyone can get guns from engrams and or random rewards. So are they that special? In my opinion, not now. So here is what I think. Step 1: Initiation: so first off I don't think it should be as easy as spending some glimmer to get into the factions. I think you need to show some skill and some determination. So to start off I think you have to pay for "Faction Bounties " and complete maybe 5-10 to even be able to buy the faction class items. That way you have to put in some effort to get in and show some sort of skill. But after you buy the class item for the faction it's not that simple after that. Step 2: Learning the Ways: so next I don't think you should have to use crucible marks and regular bounties for the factions. They should have their own " Faction bounties and Faction Marks" to show that you can only spend the in the factions and only get xp for the factions. That way you show more dedication towards the faction. Step 3: Get your rewards and become the Master: after all that you should actually get some use full stuff. But not at an easy cost. I've came up with a system for what the factions should give you. Armor: 2 sets of each beginner, novice, and Master pieces. Beginner: 50-150 marks per piece Novice: 75-175 marks per piece Master: 100-200 marks per piece Now to weapons: All the weapons are open to all ranks expect for the exotics, there should be maybe 1-3 special faction only exotics. Normal weapons: 75-175 marks Exotic weapons: 200 marks The Master armor should give you rank 30 light, but you have to Max out the faction level at 15, same for the Exotic weapons. Idk I really would love to have this system because I would love to have a nice ranking system and better gear to work for. Tell me what you all think and maybe it can happen! Vote on what you think and comment on more ideas. [edit] Also I think the Factions should have their own storyline. Make them have different quests and character to meet. Make everything a unique experience for each faction. Maybe even have unique class supers? Let me know what you guys think and give your own ideas in the comments! Make sure to vote too!
