About the Combat Trials
So what if we could earn our victory marks outside of it too? For instance, you earn one for besting another player in the world, or for killing a marked one while co oping. You'd have to participate in the trial to actually level up & get your gear, but since you get a mark for showing up, you see where I'm going with this. I'm not sure to what extent it'd make getting gear quicker, but since it's all random anyway, might as well be a little faster.
