    119 Item exchange/Change etc

    Just a quick suggestion;

    Due to the overwhelming popularity ((ease)) of relics, vs empyreans and mythics, Beitetsu and Riftborn Boulders are literally being dropped, as they hold little to absolutely no value at all.

    While plutons remain highly coveted, would it be such a crime to allow an exchange system, similar to the seal exchange deal. Or Straight up elimination of different collections: aka use plutons for Relic Mythic and Empyrean, and just convert all current Beitetsu and Riftborns into plutons.

    Just a quality of life thing, don't complain about your inability to sell 300k plutons, no one cares.

    I agree, Relics are far far more expensive in this aspect because of how rare the other two are by compare, and the fact they all share the same drop rate and drop slot from every event they drop in, only makes it worse.

    People are dropping beitetsu? Well, I guess if they INSIST on overpricing something so easy to obtain, and they'd rather drop it than sell for what it's worth (10-20K), that makes sense.

    It's wasted inventory, yes, people are infact dropping them, considering there is maybe 10(?) Mythics per server, and they've all been 119'd so far.

    They can fix this easily, but they don't understand enough the state of the game. In case one the dev reads this, I will explain how to fix this :

    - Increase the droprate of riftcinders and metalplates, or at least allow for method to obtain them solo (just like alexandrites and dynamis currency ... and plutons).
    - Ease the process of building a mythic. 30k alex is ok, but the assault/einherjar/nyzul is stupid at this point. Allow to exchange eminience points or voucher for Ein/Nyz points and reduce the number of assault wins needed (or for instance allow the exchange of assault points for 1 nyzul win of choice).
    - Since plenty of people have Ochain and Daurdabla, allow for 119 version of shields and instruments. This would create a decent demand too.

    Since vere is the most useful empy, and monk the most played DD, just easing the process of farming metal plates and cinder will fix the boulder problem.

    Adding an exchange system will make the price of Beitetsu and Boulders dependent on the cost of Plutons.

    Because the supply of Plutons will increase, the price of Plutons will drop, thereby dropping the price of Beitetsu and Boulders.

    In the end, this would probably drop the price of Plutons significantly, but the overall demand/price for the other items won't change much.

    It pulls wealth from the high end of players, who aren't doing anything with their gil, to everyone else, including the lowest of lowbies who just happens to complete a few Records of Eminence trials.

    Considering crafting from Level 1 to 100 is dead, fishing is an NPC-only craft, and all the former methods used to accomplish this "wealth trickling" are obsolete, can you explain why it is better to benefit the former group than the latter? They've already shown that an investment of a few hundred million gil is no biggie, considering they built the Relic in the first place.
