Anecdote - I've reached the weekly limit on Crucible marks. My total is 173 marks right now. Hmm.. If I had 175, I could buy a rare sparrow. So, I go to the crucible quartermaster and see a beautiful offer: 50 materials for 5 marks! Easy. Done.
Now I have a whopping 173?!?
What happened? I exchanged my mats and got nothing but some worthless glimmer, rep, and disappointment.
Bungie, this is blatant false advertising. If I cannot exchange for marks because I hit the weekly cap, I guess that's your call to make. But please don't lie to me by including the offer of exchange.
I would like to sue for 5 crucible marks. But I know that will never happen. So how about you fix the mark exchange "functionality" to reflect the weekly limitation.
Tl;dr - If you hit the weekly Marks cap, don't bother exchanging 50 planet materials for 5 more. The exchange is broken. You will only get disappointment. The mark is a lie.

Not fair, Bungie. I hate farmin for materials.
