I can't agree more. It's absolutely changed the way I play. Locking out pve players from five of the seven venders is a really dumb move, I've spent time levelling factions in pve so I can buy marks.
And for those who say give crucible a chance, I have done. I got to rank five in IB, I play every now and again but it's awful. I'm bad at it, I don't enjoy it, 15 mins of something I don't enjoy just for two marks? Absolutely sucks
