The question I wonder is why can't we both trade in or buy materials from the Vanguard or Crucible Quartermasters?
I enjoyed my time on the planets and moon to go out and find materials and bring them in for a few marks. But everything changed when the Fire Nation....*cough* sorry, I mean when the patch update changed it earlier this month. I feel the same outrage like others that like to go get resources. It did give a lot of people another way to earn marks for better armor or weapons.
Can we have that trade ability back with the ability to buy materials? I think it can change on the economic level and give the few like me to go out and bring back resources for The Last City and to The Tower. Hopefully we can see that in a future patch.
*Concept*
What if it is possible to add a new vendor that specializes in trading?
What if there was a new Mark for resources? It can be use to buy armor, weapons, etc. but it takes 10% or 20% more marks to buy gear than the crucible or vanguard marks.
If its difficult then it that's fine.

This was to make the pvp players happy cause they didn't want to go gather the materials themselves.
