Bungie has gravely underestimated the amount of non PvP Halo loyalists that support this game. Personally, I will never play any PVP aspect of this to game to gain marks or otherwise. If I wanted PvP I would play Call of Duty, which, by the way, just happens to have a more indepth and basically better in every way Campaign mode than Destiny. When the Campaign mode of a dedicated shooter has a more cohesive and gripping storyline than a Bungie major release title, something is wrong. If you take away my way to earn Marks, then there is no reason for me to continue. I am a solo player and accept the fact that I will never receive raid gear or Iron Banner gear, etc. At least I could buy legendary weapons from the vendors with marks I earned from material exchange. This is a MAJOR part of the game for many people that you have chosen to destroy.
