The fact that I can earn unlimited marks per week makes the 200 (at a time) cap fine for me.

  • Cool. So, would you be fine with the glimmer cap as proposed in my analogy?

  • The glimmer cap is fine as is.

  • You didn't answer the question the first time, so I'll ask again. Would you be fine with the glimmer cap as proposed in my analogy? If you think the current cap is fine for glimmer, why would you feel a much smaller bank cap for marks (in terms of buying power) is OK?

    The glimmer cap has nothing to do with the marks cap. Marks have finite earning potential each week now and that will be fixed with Taken King. It's a benefit to players ultimately. No need to drag glimmer into the discussion. It's a poor argument you're making here.

  • [b]Which argument do you think is poor?[/b] I made an analogy and I feel is fairly good considering the audience here. In that analogy both marks and glimmer are unlimited in earning but with caps. It's easy to relate to and understandable. In terms of scale the analogy isn't perfect, but it's close enough and it's weaknesses aren't in favor of my argument. For reasons of relatability I was willing to concede this. It's OK if you realize that you are being difficult and apologize. In fact I'd appreciate it. As it is, you still haven't answered the questions I asked.I never said the glimmer cap has anything to do with the marks cap. Glimmer is used in an analogy, not as a point of topic. Do you understand the difference? Perhaps you don't. Perhaps you can't depart from the idea of comparing the old system compared to the new system. That's not what I'm discussing here. No one, myself included, has argued against unlimited earning per week. Clearly unlimited earning is better than limited. Just as clear, our bank purchase power (related to marks) has been significantly reduced. This limits players options, and is a lazy game design by Bungie, IMHO. I drew the analogy and asked questions to get you thinking about the marks bank limit . You haven't shown any evidence of that. Perhaps that's my fail as much as yours. Not to make excuses on my part, but clearly I didn't know who I was dealing with. While I'm certain I'm up to the task, I'm just as certain I don't want to make the effort.

  • The glimmer cap is not being changed so there is no need to address your hypothetical analogy. As I said before, I'm fine with the changes they are making with the legendary marks. The 200 cap is fine because I can earn unlimited marks each week. Bungie has shown the ability to rework systems based on player feedback. If there is a massive backlash to the 200 mark (at a time) cap, they may adjust accordingly. Time will tell.

  • I never said, or implied, the glimmer cap was changing. Why do you imply that I did? You imply this by saying the "glimmer cap is not being changed so there is no need to address your hypothetical analogy." You still haven't answered my questions... What are you afraid of? The reason to address my question (and analogy) is to show that you are capable of thinking critically, not just being a critic. Also, it gives you the opportunity to address the similarities and differences pointing to why you hold the opinion you do. You have said before that your fine with the 200 mark cap. You haven't yet shown that you can separate the idea of unlimited earning form a bank cap. I'd like to see if you can. To show me you can you'd need to explain why (without mentioning unlimited anything) is it OK with you that Bungie is reducing your bank buying power, with marks, to a sixth of what it is currently? Let me translate what you've written in you last reply it appears to me.... I don't want to think and I won't be forced to. I have taken a position and nothing be it logic, sensibility, resoling, or evidence to the contrary will change my mind, ever. I know your not talking about unlimited earning, but I will till I'm blue in the face. I don't mind Bungle offloading work to me, the player. Maybe this will be a problem for other and Bungie will change it. Your replies thus far have seemed, to me, to lack critical thought completely. I will give you one more chance to show that you are worth any more of my time or effort. If you do, I'll reply. If I don't reply consider me unimpressed and moving on.

  • With all do respect, I'm not here to impress you or anyone else. Your original question was what others thought about the Legendary Mark cap at 200 at a time. You've asked for our opinion and I've already stated I'm ok with that because the cap can be refilled unlimited times during the week, which is much better than what we have now. Again, I don't feel the glimmer analogy is needed but to appease you I will respond in kind. If the glimmer was capped at a lower value, then the glimmer cost of everything would need to be adjusted accordingly. Makes total sense. If we want to speculate why Bungie capped it at 200 Legendary Marks, that's another discussion. Maybe they did this to pad play time or to prevent players from holding on to too many marks at once? That is unclear. I appreciate your passion for this discussion.
