Listen my opinion is they should of kept it in but I also think it should of only been for vanguard marks. While I started as pve only I adjusted to doing both because I wanted thorn, invective, pocket infinity and bad juju. I now do PVP for the extra bounties to level gear. Since my conversion I have come to the conclusion that you should only get rewards from doing the activities you do. Should they add some more vendors for pve to compensate for 5 pvp vendors? Maybe, there is a lot more specivity to play style in PVP vs pve imho. But I think the argument could be made. I can't agree with the concept that you get to buy gear specifically offered for doing an action you never did. Maybe a 5:1 conversion either direction... But even then I still don't feel that approach makes any sense. If you want pvp gear do pvp.
