Hey Everyone (Especially Bungie)
I was thinking and came up with what I thought is an incredible idea.
I suggest that for a special event on a weekend or something, you orchestrate a crucible battle between the different factions represented by the vendors in the Tower.
Imagine players align to one specific vendor; Future War Cult, Dead Orbit and New Monarchy. And you set it so the factions battle each other in the various crucible modes available. For example, all the people that choose Dead Orbit will always be on a team with other people that aligned with Dead Orbit and the other team would always be one of the other 2 factions.
I think this would add more meaning to the factions overall and I would love to represent one of them in battle other than simply using their Class Armor or Gear.
Thanks. Let me know what you think. I really hope someone important reads this.

Similar to your idea, but different. A weekend crucible subtype called Faction Wars (creative i know). Pick a faction* and then queue up for faction wars. Instead of the normal 6v6 crucible. It could be 4v4v4. Larger maps could be 6v6v6 (i'm lookin at you huge and empty First Light). Bonuses include increased rep gains for faction of players choice, unique shaders/emblems (maybe even items) for winning, of course distributed by our savior RNGesus. *there needs to be a way to keep faction choices balanced. So when one faction starts to have too many people it could be a locked choice, or the less popular faction could get further bonuses to exp/rep/item drop %.
