That's what happens when the forums post about burning strange coins for heavy to insta rank factions w conversion of synth to rep. Hahaha! Bungie strikes again. They really are dicks. I swear, anything at all that we find/discover as a community and player base gets tossed right out. -blam!-ers. Lol. "We realized there was an exploit in game which was on the cusp of getting abused, which enabled a player to basically buy faction rep. So we reduced the buying power of strange coins, so now you will need to spend 80% more to buy the same rep." -blam!- em I say. Exclusion zone, heavy synth, more exclusion zone, heavy synth.... Rank up fast, dismantle for legendary marks, ascend all year 1 to year 2 exotics. Hmmm maybe that's their plan all along. 40k hrs spent in exclusion zone, farming glimmer.
