...and let reputation be earned for these vendors by completing PvP bounties in the same way it is earned by completing PvE bounties (if it's not already).
A LOT of players don't want to have to jump into the crucible just to get marks to purchase items from the faction vendors (Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, New Monarchy). By doing this, you force people who don't want to play PvP into a mode they hate, and you make the matches less competitive by adding players who don't care about the objectives or helping their teams.
Please change the system, so players may use marks and commendations earned from either source to purchase what these vendors sell. Doing this will allow players to enjoy the mode of gameplay they prefer - and enjoy the game more (if not just take away a huge point of frustration).

Well tough. You have to earn marks. Why should bungie give them to you because you suck. Would defeat the purpose of crucible marks.
