Voidwatch Decline and Gear and Heavy Metal Availability

As the rate of participation in voidwatch wanes, it's becoming more and more difficult to acquire specific pieces of gear from lower tiers, as well as the large number of heavy metal plates and cinder/dross required to upgrade empyrean weapons.

I'd like to see plates added to T4 Cities, and T4-5 Jeuno to help alleviate the decline by incentivising less popular monsters. While it might be difficult to put together an alliance of people to fight something like Gwynn App Nudd multiple times, if it had a chance at single heavy metal plate drops, I believe it would give more people a reason to join up, allowing people to complete their voidwatch sets with a slightly higher degree of ease.

Eh dead horsed, liked anyway, one little change, and one addition;

Metal plates loadable in more than one slot(with a realistic drop rate) needing 1500 this isn't tooooooo unrealistic...,
and removal of petrifacts, clearly they're never going to get a use.

I would say maybe add pouches to all final Tier Fights, so T4 cities, T6 Jeuno and T2 CoP/ToAU. Maybe even add singles at a very low rate(2%) to all the other Tiers as well. If someone wants to get together 3-6 people and beat on a city T1 30/40/50+ times to get plates, let em.
