[url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/80343022/0/0]This thread by Obi Wan Stevobi got me thinking..[/url] The Material Exchange is virtually useless. As it stands right now I know very few people who will ever use this feature because it is a complete waste of resources. [i]Trading 50 or so materials for 15 minutes worth of Reputation/Marks is not worth it Bungie..[/i] [b]How can this be fixed?[/b] By flipping the way the Material exchange operates, we can get much more use from it. Instead of trading materials for rep/marks, let us do the opposite. Give us choices for our marks. [b]How this can work[/b] By going to any vendor (Lord Shaxx for example,) we can see options for buying materials on the bottom. There will be four options for each of the four materials. They will be: 50 marks = 25 material 100 marks = 55 material (5 bonus) 150 marks = 95 material (20 bonus) 200 marks = 145 material (45 bonus) The more you spend at once the more you will receive as a bonus. Saving up 200 marks and spending them all at once will net you 25 more materials than if you spent 50 points on 4 different occasions. What do you think? This will help out people who need to level up gear tremendously.
