Even though my Night of a Million Clickies didn't happen on Thursday, I still think it would be a huge QOL improvement if we had a project in each reputation that converted 500 marks to 5000 dil instead of just the tiny one that does 50 marks to 500 dil.
As it stands, it'll be a lot of clicking to work through my stockpiles of marks. I already earned them, so making them easier to convert would be a nice gesture of goodwill after the confusion this past week.
Since they took away the ability to get bonus dil from all of the marks projects, why not just make the next rep system use universal marks. This means that no matter what marks they are, they can be used to fill the projects.
By foing so, they can still make it useful to still run the older STFs and PVEs. Most players I know have already finished all of the rep systems we now have, and have all the gear they needed. They only kept running the queued events for the bonus dil event. Now that is worthless because they don't get bonus dil anymore, they are not wanting to play any more of the queued events, because they have no reason to.
Since they were after the dil, they are just going to run the Dyson Voth BZ to get all the Dil they want. And, that makes the queued events that give marks they used to collect pointless.
However, if they were to come out with a new rep system that was not tied to new content, it could then use other marks types, and it will encourage players to run other content in the game that they were doing before the bonus dil events.

Earning various currencies is one thing to them; you being able to use it is another.
Each time they introduce a new one, the older ones have thier value impacted. Delta marks & ancient power cells are the hardest to get right now. I envision a post in a future release notes stating that it was "never intended" for currencies to be earned at different rates, and they will match others to that standard of difficulty to obtain. It's already happened with Omega marks a few seasons ago, which were made the same as the Dyson rep currencies soon after that was launched.
Certainly, they won't make it easier for the players based on all the evidence. Loyalty is discouraged, even treated with contempt. My opinion is their tactics are designed to cause the player base to roll over, because it only helps them make money from people who haven't yet been burned.

Most of my toons have over 20k various marks... i did the math it would take me 8 hours of clicking straight 3 days in a row to convert them all...
Its not like i can refine it all at once... and quite frankly i can get 8k a day to refine easily playing dino park or stfs on each toon.
So I would love it if they just allowed us to do bulk trade ins of the Marks... 500 at a time would be good but id prefer all at once if possible.
Sliders get annoying after awhile.
