It's a way... Rather farm for 10 minutes, get 35 materials, dozens of chests, public event and kill numerous enemies that drop a lot of items and engrams. Was way more profitable to farm than grind in crucible. Every Tuesday I maxed out both marks to buy whatever I wanted. Now it feels more like misery than enjoyment to me. They need to bring back a way to allow farmers to obtain gear from farming. PvP grinding = PvE grinding = Farming Each one above takes time, they all should be profitable if you choose. Do all three should also profit the most. Just don't kill one way some of us play.
