guibo Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I think an exchange for all in game currencies would be a great addition, as there is so many currencies people are sitting on, and to be able to buy a currency you might need with all of that extra credits would be very welcome. In addition, to be able to buy the different catalysts and such would be a big help for those looking to gear up for the harder content. Who does not have a bunch of one or another type of currency and desires to change it into another type more in need at that moment? I think this would also help the economy as it would keep certain credits/currencies from becoming stale in the banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlameYOL Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Exchange credits for endgame currency? No thanks. That would make endgame extremely P2W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP's wording was a little confusing since they seemed to use credits/currencies interchangeably, but I think they were saying to allow us to exchange the various non-credit currencies with each other. The most straightforward way to do that would probably be too let us exchange all the current currencies for tech frags (and vice-versa). I don't know enough about end-game gearing to know whether that's a good idea tho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can already buy end game gear with cash (via Cartel Market items) through Sales Runs offered by a number of guilds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I mostly mean to exchange endgame currencies such as those for gearing, as there are so many we are sitting on, and things like Ops catalysts drop at such a low rate. If there was a way to trade some them for those currencies, it would be helpful. This is not something you can buy in the Cartel Market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know enough about end-game gearing to know whether that's a good idea tho. the entire point of the separate level 80 currencies is to prioritize that kind of content for that kind of gearing; if you want ops catalyst, do ops; if you want wz accelerant, do wzs having them be freely interchangeable just brings back the core problem of 6.x, spamming the easiest thing over and over and over again until even the people who aren't taking the path of least resistance are sick of it daily matrices need a sink though, I don't know what the devs were smoking when they added sinks to every single level 80 currency except that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do 2:1 or whatever to make sure that doing the content that matches the gear would still be the most efficient. In theory anyway.

Also, there has been and continues to be a path of least resistance with 7.X gearing that involves repeating the same crap over and over, so your argument that this system somehow moves the game away from that style of gaming is false. Anyways OP, we don't need currency conversion as much as we need many of the existing currencies consolidated into far fewer end-game currencies.

Mubark Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I would support having the ability to exchange in-game currencies with other in-game currencies. EXAMPLE: Exchange Dark side tokens for FP-1 or Completed Bounty Contracts. But I wouldn't support exchanging in-game credits or cartel coins for in-game currencies or vice-versa.
