Devs - would you consider this for obtaining Blue Marks

@Devs
I was wondering if you all would consider the following as alternative method of obtaining Blue Marks (of Stability, Power, and Union). I was wondering if a vendor could be placed somewhere in Protector's Enclave (Somewhere in in the Sage Shop perhaps?), that would allow a character to trade, say 5 Greater Marks (purple) for one Blue Mark?
For those such as myself (I solo my level 60 DC for the most part) participating in an Epic dungeon run isn't really an option. So needless to say, looting the skill nodes in said dungeons isn't really an option. I do enjoy the dailys that have come with module 2 and have collected quite a few Greater Marks even though I currently have only the starting artifact at this time.
I do want to add that I have had ONE Blue Mark of Stability drop from a node during a professions event but that has been the only time I've seen that. So thank you Devs for that. However, I really would like to have a way to obtain the Blue Marks as I most likely will not be able to acquire many in the current manner I play the game. I ask this because I read in the forums nearly everyday, that many people play this game solo and we are all in the same boat.
Final point- I am aware that there are a few channels that are very friendly to helping people out. I think that is absolutely awesome! BUT if I want to play solo then that is my choice. I really enjoy this game but I also don't want to hit a wall just because I choose not to do Epic dungeons.

No worries.
The drop rate from dungeon bosses/skill nodes is ultra-low. You're no losing anything. I probably saw 3 boss blue mark drops and 2 from skill nodes in what must be 50+ dungeon runs. Boss drops are also rolled for so yeah.
Blue marks are just badly designed, that's all.
do not reply to this mod note. instead, send us a PM to discuss it. thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to respond pers3phone
Lol, all I can do is smh. I'm not asking that the Blue Marks (of anything) drop constantly but I think it's a significant bottleneck/wall. I want to keep playing this game and I want to be able to EARN (read play) my way forward in progression. This includes being able to farm the Blue Marks needed to upgrade.
Good idea but I personally think this will never happen. However you posted an idea in another thread that I like:

Thank you for taking the time to answer bioshrike. We all need to let the Devs know that this is a significant issue, one that may stop players from playing this game. (And for some, that equates to not spending their money on it)
If there is something which needs to be changed, it's the requirement for upgrading the artifacts, change the blue ones for the greater and the same way around. Or change the rewards for the daily dungeon.
But proposing to trade an in theory better item for less in theory worse item, sorry, that's just an idea .... which should't be allowed to survive long, neither to be discussed lol!
Sorry!
:cool:
It is rather strange to have green marks fairly common in nodes, purple marks easily from daily dungeons and blue marks excedingly rare when Purple by definition should be less common than Blue
But as more people hit 60, new players, veterans with new toons, the supply will start to rise as more people obtain them. Its a slow process. Economically, its sound.
For people like the OP, who want to earn everything, it encourages playing until you obtain what you need, for those that want the quick fix, hit up the AH.
Once you do that get that elusive Blue Mark, you may break out into the MC Hammer 'You Can't Touch This' dance in your living room with your dog giving you the "what in the blue he** are you doing" look. Not that I did this or anything...
That is good to hear ryugarius. However asking the player base to DEPEND on the AH for what all intents and purposes is mid level items just creates frustration and a bottleneck. And I suspect that steadily may mean something slightly different to you and me. ;-)
I agree nwnghost that the set up is rather odd. And while I would PREFER that the Greater marks DON'T drop in Epic dungeons (seeing as I don't run them) it would be more understandable. Honestly though, I think that it is more about "tweaking" the availability of all Marks that has people concerned.
I didn't think about that option. It has possibilities. Thanks for mentioning it.
Awesome to hear ladysylvia (now I'm just a little jealous).
I was at work when I read this.....I cannot tell you how hard it was to not laugh. :cool:
To me, it means "i'm not making profits anymore since prices keep going down too **** fast" :P
