How commendations should work

Commendations are a new currency added to The Dark Below to slow the rate that players can obtain gear and weapons. Face it, some people hate PVE, and some hate PVP. Some people just don't have the mental strength to put up with what they hate in order to get enough marks to get what they want. Imo commendations should work that you can use either Vanguard OR Crucible marks to buy gear as long as you have the corresponding commendation. For example, let's say you want a crucible piece of armor, you LOATHE PVP, you happen to have a Crucible commendation, but you have 150 VANGUARD marks, you should be able to use those vanguard marks to get the armor piece along with the crucible commendation. This would work vice versa of course as well.

  • I want a new monarchy helmet but it cost 120 marks... You get 3 per win right?... That's 40 matches .... if you win them. I'm sitting on 10 crucible commendations. I don't like PvP but will play for bounties and maybe iron banner but not just for the "fun" of it. And I don't have much time with all the pve stuff I have to do every week and I have a 3 year old and work 12 hours a night during the week.. TL:DR... I agree

    • I like this idea! I'm terrible at pvp, never was good at multiplayer FPS games. Destiny billed itself as a game that had both but didn't require you to play both. For the most part that is true but PVE vendors are far outnumbered by PVP vendors.

    • How would you 'happen' to have a Crucible commendation if you loathe PvP? Surely if you loathe it, you don't play it.

        I'd like to see them let us use commendations to re-roll vendor gear, like you can with motes of light in Iron Banner. Maybe commendations plus glimmer or ascendant materials or something. I don't play much PvP, but I'm sitting on like 25 Vanguard commendations doing nothing but taking up vault space. Or maybe let us trade one commendation for the other, for us guys who don't do much PvP. Like five Vanguard commendations for one Crucible commendation? I dunno.

      • I have 40 vanguard commendations and 15 crucible. It didn't change the game at all only made 2 more items taking up space in my vault.

      • No, at least the way it's set up they have to be earned. Not everything can just be handed to you
