AFK and Crucible Marks (Destiny)

EDIT: This is not Bungie's first rodeo, and the thought occurred to me, too. But then I thought a little more and realised the above. This weekly limit was likely installed because they realised some people would consider grinding out hundreds of games a week, through whatever method. There is no point to that if it makes your 'natural' playtime 'worth less' because you don't earn any more CruMarks.

Again, if players playing your game TOO MUCH is somehow undesirable, then the system is flawed.

Once they hit the limit, players can no longer use the justification 'I want to earn more CruMarks for that sweet helm'. Instead, they have to use the justification 'I want to shoot more people in the face because it's fun' - surely that's desirable?

Besides, at a certain point, playing a game, any game, too much is undesirable (see also: definition of 'too much'). Peeps need sleep. They need fresh air. Food. Exercise.
