The point is that making vendors relevant again would also make legendary marks relevant again. Therefore more reasons to do more stuff in destiny. Like I said, I believe the biggest value of such a change is to make the gameplay loop more interesting/rewarding and therefore making people play the game more. Or to put it another way. If your goal is to make people grind, then giving them a taste of what they get at the end is usually the best way to get them going. F. ex one could argue that once you buy the palindrome there is no more point in accumulating legendary marks because there is nothing else of value to buy. In effect making you play less. Yes grinding for faction packages for a chance roll does have the potential to reward you for your efforts. However that usually leaves you doing very specific activities. Again what I am trying to put forth is the idea that such a change would not necessarily make loot more accessible. Rather that it would give a wider breath of the gameplay loops created by bungie worthwhile for people to participate in. The idea that a god roll can come on a vendor is all well and cool. And like I said in my original post, it does have the potential to change the meta more dynamically. However my main reason behind it is still giving us as players more reasons to play the game. I also have very little trust in Bungie's ability to make sound decisions based on business models and game theory seeing as they seemingly decide to go against trends in both those areas for no apparent reason.
