So here's my crazy idea: make a mark exchange system, but do it at a 2:1 loss ratio, so as to encourage people to still play the different content rather than just letting them play the content they like and/or that rewards the most.
So say I've got 100 omega marks, but I need nukara marks? I can swap those 100 omega marks for 50 nukara marks.
Same thing with all the reputations including Fleet Marks.
If you've got marks of one kind and needs them of another, you can swap them in - but you do so at a 2:1 loss.
Thus it's still more efficient to play a mark-specific mission than it is to do the swap; but if you're in a pinch or you're willing to sacrifice such, you can swap what you've got for what you need.
That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.
Dev's are clear that they want you to play the content that rewards the specific marks... part of how they justify content is by number of plays... if we could all just STF our way to all reps... thats what a good number of players would do... I have over 20k Omega marks on 1 toon alone... at 2:1 I'd never have to play new content (or even meet a Tholian) to level in that area.
And that is why they don't want marks to be exchanged...
