Having marks apply independently each character would really be nice. I don't play trials much, so the only real way I can earn marks is through the weekly challenges. Raking up enough to buy an exotic (that I already got in year 1) plus having enough for infusions, shouldn't take nearly two weeks. However, if they were applied individually like strange coins, it would make grinding for them more realistic.

Marks are readily available and are enough for all your characters to share. marks come from the daily pve the daily crucible and the weekly crucible along with breaking down your purple armor and weapons
