Vanguard Playlist

So as soon as I unlocked the vanguard playlist, I was super excited to play the random strikes for the loot and vanguard marks, but then I noticed that, not to sound harsh but, the playlist is useless. Maybe not useless, but it sure isn't the optimal choice to get marks, as said by the description of it. At the hardest, you get 6 marks, and a chance to get some rare loot, if I'm not mistaken, I'm just a little focused on the marks aspect of it. I think Bungie should take note in these playlists, cause honestly, I'd play them a lot if they were actually helpful. By completing a public event, you get 4 marks. Completing an event can take a maximum of like 5 minutes. Completing a vanguard playlist strike can take an upwards of about 15+ minutes. See where I'm going at. My friends and I, and probably most of the community in need of vanguard marks simply just drive around a patrol area looking for public events to get TRIPLE the amount of marks one would get completing one vanguard playlist strike, in the same amount of time it would take to complete said strike. And that's not mentioning the fact that apps have been created to simplify the public event process mentioned earlier. I just wanted to let Bungie know this and for them to see my point, which I believe is valid, and to try and make Destiny into a better experience for everyone! Thank you for the game, and for your time, Bungie! P.S. - I even asked my brother, who has been playing Destiny since release (I've been playing it for about 3 months now) and he didn't even know what a vanguard playlist was and what it does!! He found it so useless, he never even tried checking it out!!!!

    • And as a possibly more helpful reply, try to pick up at least two or three bounties for killing the strike bosses and easy ones like kill 20 without them damaging you or kill 100 with precision so you get multiple things done while running through the strikes. Same applies for public events - get bounties like collect 200pumice threads on Venus and get gold status in three public events

    • Careful, they might see this and decide to remove marks from public event rewards, or make the public events impossible to solo.

    • Ok.. I've been doing lvl 24 vanguard strikes often, and it takes 9 minutes tops for each strike. I've gotten 6 legendary engrams from it, and 2 of them were exotics
