Hello everyone, I am new to the forum

Everything is very simple to understand in Destiny except for the faction based system. When I joined I was introduced to the Vanguard armour supplier in the main map room underground. Then as a I completed bounties and PvP missions and games different things were happening that were not explained.

1. I know understand there is "reputation" and "marks". Reputation is a rank accomplishment whereas marks are an earned currency. Is this correct?

2. In talking to different NPC's round the tower I joined a sub-cult (FWC). My accomplishments now earn FWC rep and crucible marks. This is all well and good, however my Vanguard rep has stopped climbing. Is vanguard a faction as much as FWC?

3. I thought there were only 3 factions or cults which were FWC/New Order/Dead Orbits. So what is vanguard?

4. Also there are two "Crucible" NPC characters selling armour and weapons in the main thoroughfare. They use "Crucible Reputation" (Another One!?). This seems to have stopped climbing.. Was this a faction? There is also ANOTHER vanguard weapons seller in the hangar bay. Yet my vanguard marks don't allow me to purcahse anything without vanguard rep.

5. Another problem is that FWC dont sell everything. What if I want to buy somthing they don't have, do I have to join a new faction and start my rep from scratch?

6. Are my vanguard marks pointless now?

7. Is there a concept I'm missing?

8. Also I need some peeps to make a fireteam for Level 26-28 elite strikes. Anybody interested?

Thanks in advance!
