Level 23 Hunter here and as I've been grinding to get more gear with light, marks, reputation, and legendaries it seems to me that crucible is so far the best way to get all of those at once. You can do a match much faster than a strike and don't even have to be good to get the rewards. In addition you get marks MUCH faster and you get reputation which you don't from strikes.
The only thing that seems better than crucible for endgame stuff is doing patrols for reputation, but other than that is crucible really the way to go? Should reputation and marks get buffed in pve? Am I doing all of this wrong (if so please tell me your method)

If you're level 23, you don't know what grinding is :P

I got way better stuff from crucible even for the little I played it and it is not connected to performance , just random . I am now headed to the crucible to gain rep and weapons.

Farming the Ishtar area in Venus has worked better for me. Engrams and mats to turn in for rep and marks galore. Especially once you do it awhile and start getting 2 of the Spirit blossoms per gather. I get 50 blossoms in about 20 minutes in between killing things.

I outscore everyone, we still lose. I don't get squat.

Yes, the vanguard rep and marks are few and far between. While you get rep and marks for every game of crucible
