Is the 200 Bank Limit on Legendary Marks in TTK to small?
Across 3 characters, with 200 Vanguard marks and 200 Crucible marks on each, our bank in year 1 allows for the purchase of up to 6 legendary weapons at any moment without grinding anything additionally. The new bank will limit this to just 1 weapon according to the first Bungie stream in which prices where set at 150 marks. Sure, there is not a weekly cap to legendary marks in year 2 and the bank is shared across characters in the same way as glimmer. Also, you can buy legendary weapons with glimmer once a week from the gunsmith in year 2, assuming you've completed the other various requirements. When answering the poll keep in mind that unlike the old marks, the new marks will be used for more things than the old marks such as weapon upgrades. Do these things, in your opinion, offset the major reduction in the buying power of your maximum bank account size?
EDIT: This poll has been up a few days now and it seems [b]0 people have made an argument supporting the bank size limit of 200[/b]. Some players (myself included), obviously, support the idea of unlimited marks earning in the removal of a weekly cap. That said, The question is related to bank size mostly separate from unlimited earning per week. In regards to bank size alone a 200 mark limit is not better than what we have currently. No one has argued that unlimited earning isn't better than our currently limited weekly earning. I encourage players to consider the weekly cap and bank size issues separately. One way to think about it is if they reduced the cost of glimmer items with the most expensive glimmer item set to 1500 would you be OK with a bank glimmer limit of 2000? I think this is a pretty good analogy. I, for one, would not be happy in that scenario. How about you?

The grind for 150 marks (cost of an exotic) is as follows: Assuming the legendary mark rewards remain at 6 for strikes and 6 for a Crucible WIN, then you would have to grind out 25 strikes and/or win a minimum of 25 Crucible matches to afford an exotic. If you win 50% of your games in Crucible, that would be 30 Crucible matches. Daily heroics give 5 marks (currently) and you get a few more than that for the Nightfall and Weekly. You can also earn (about 4?) for a public event. Translation: the grind will be real and you'll need to go spend those marks when you accumulate enough.
