RNG is waaaaay kinder now (Destiny)

If you want to Earn your marks it now takes 30-40 minutes to earn 30 where it used to take 2-3 hours. After that it slows down a little, but you get Legendaries much, much more frequently now, and from a wider variety of sources.

For my money the fastest route to Legendaries is Court of Oryx, but with RNG 2.0 it's virtually guaranteed that you'll get a couple an hour.

Unless I'm getting two legendary items per crucible/strike match then it's not even close to giving the same amount of rewards. RNG does seem kinder in general. But with 2.0 I can not earn marks nearly the same as before.

Nightfall + Weekly Heroic = 25 marks (75 total for all characters) now you can earn 30 total on weekly heroic strikes.

Public Events used to give you 4 marks per gold, now they give 0

High level strikes used to give you 6 marks per strike. Now you only get up to 30 per week for the weekly heroic strikes.

By doing all of the new weekly and dailies (every day) you can earn a total of 270 marks, 210 of those are forced by doing the daily playlist activities. I really dislike that they have essentially taken away our choice of how we play if we want to earn marks. I'm not a huge fan of doing daily missions, nor do I want to play a crucible gametype I don't enjoy with other people who are probably only playing that gametype because they want to earn marks also.

I'm sure it's a great setup for some people, however, it's definitely not a fun way for me to play. I now have a forced daily to-do list if I want to be able to infuse an item or buy anything from a vendor.
