Tell me then how removing the option to exchange mats for rep/marks helped improve this game for you? Either use it or don't, it didn't add any loophole to provide and unfair advantage. Just see all the negative complaints on how tedious it is to complete. I see no benefit unless the goal was to block access to a large amount of items PvE/solo players wanted to buy, force us to play PvP and degrade our PvP team, and cause posts and replies to divide the PvP and PvE community even more. Not one reply has explained how removing this helps those of us who play the way we do from day 1. You'll find NO posts from me that complained about no being able to buy IB, Queens or Raid gear. Those items should only be available if you do the corresponding activity. That is how it should be. Blocking access to Day 1 legendary items for sale is wrong. If the gear was real PvP gear, I would have no reason to post this complaint. The problem is the gear is for gear for both PvP and PvE. Yes, this change added a huge benefit to our community.
