You're asking the dev team to change the game. They wanted those factions to encourage pvp. They should apply what you're wanting to a system that is nearly unused... Why not have a similar system with the vanguard instead? Have their own marks and own store. Separate them from the crucible store. Have the three vanguard leaders be different kinds of vanguard reps-- different bounties and currency (vanguard marks). Which means the vanguard store needs to change a little since their store is quickly outdated. Why not sell some randomized legendary engrams? Or legendary weapons (and gear) since the vanguard weapons are plentiful. That way each faction stays as they were, while we get an actual use out of our vanguard status. [i]edit:[/i] they need to have a class item/emblem as well.
