First off, nobody "works" for ANYTHING in a game. You PLAY a game for entertainment. Moving your fingers and thumbs is not work. Second, if you had *both* systems in place and "removed the rep and glimmer gains" things would be basically balanced. People who enjoy PvP wouldn't have to grind materials and people who prefer PvE wouldn't have to run crucible. Nobody losses anything and people get to continue playing the game in the manner they find most enjoyable. Consider this... [quote]Keeping the Marks for Materials & returning the Materials for Mark exchange (without rep or glimmer) would give you: 1:2 marks for materials + 10:1 materials for marks = 5:1 Mark for Mark Since each mark you gain adds to your 100 weekly cap, yet the ones you spend do not subtract from it, you would have to earn the weekly max of one mark for just 20 of the other. Which would leave you unable to gain anymore of the maxed type for the rest of the week if you decided to go that route. That's a pretty steep cost. Especially once you concider that marks aren't shared across an account like glimmer & they can't be traded between characters like materials.[/quote] *[edits]*
