Let us exchange seals?

[PizzaTheHut]

Currently my seals take up 45 inventory slots. Why don't they ever think about this kind of issue? Most people are not going to throw their seals out...most keep them and say "hey maybe I'll use it someday or maybe they'll let us trade them.

If I complete a piece I'll buy it trade the seals and store the armor. But the seals I don't actively go for tend to pile up... Or sometimes I still keep the seal set because I like to think they'll let us trade them(to players or npc for something you actually want)

An alternate solution to this that wouldn't break the game (I can think of a number of coherent arguments as to why trading seals is a terrible idea, mostly having to do with monopolisation of content) would be to add an NPC like Ghanraam or the beastman seal NPC who would sit in Jeuno and hold all of our unused seals, cards, stones, and so on for us. This way we could stockpile seals at our leisure without having to worry about storage space; it'd alleviate one of the worst issues with seals without adding in the capacity for monopolisation.

What SE should do is have NMs drop bundles of seals like we see in WoE.

How about SE just enforcing their damn rules against monopolization? I mean, you almost begin to question whether many of these players get enjoyment from playing the game, or openly denying others the benefit of doing same?

I think some degree of trading seals (clearly NOT 1-1) would be nice. Only reason I keep most of them...

Or they could make it so the gil field is greyed out forcing players to trade a seal for a seal and one seal to a person so people can't abuse it

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you upgrade pieces at any time as long as you have the base item? Once that is done store the completed piece at the porter moogle.

Yes as mentioned above but so many seal set are not completed and even when some are people will keep them anyway because of hopes for a trade system

But you don't need nearly as many seals as you do coins. Given that most NMs that drop seals have a chance of dropping more than one of the same seal, having it drop a bundle that carries any more than three would be...a little too easy.

This is fine if you have enough seals to complete the item. But if you're sitting on stacks of, say, 4 seals for about 10 different pieces of armor, it's not going to help you out. You can only undertake so many trials, so just dumping them in the box as trial progress wouldn't help either. An NPC that can hold seals would be best.

say you have all the seals and your upgraded armor how about being able to trade seals in for something to an npc like so many seals for an item for your emp weapon upgrade or for an item for +2 upgrade like given a choice for what you want even trade to npc for gil or exp.
