Temporary easy to implement fix for factions for Bungie (Destiny)

Currently you earn faction rep for anything while wearing a faction class item. This is all well and good except you can only buy faction items with crucible marks.

Now while I do think in the long term factions do need to be reworked and expanded on.(patrol world pvp anyone?) there is an easy fix Bungie can do presumably in a hotfix.

I noticed that each faction has two sets of armor for each class, and 4 weapons. Currently on the vendor screen it lists the weapons and armor as crucible armor and weapons.

My suggestion is Bungie makes one of those armor sets for each class and half the weapons under a store category called Vanguard, where they are purchasable with vanguard marks. This should be an easy temporary fix as I presume factions are being expanded upon as we speak.
