    On the subject of Alexandrite drop rates, I kind of disagree with anything major. I think small things like making Cotton coin purses drop 10~30 and make Linen a 100% drop off the bosses would be enough, but above all else Salvage gear +1 would be the single greatest thing SE can do to aid people going for Mythics. A resurgence of people doing Salvage would drop Alexandrite prices down to what they used to be while simultaneously increasing the amount of bazaars selling them. An average farming run of Salvage should manage ~100 Alexandrite, while Dynamis should manage 300~400 coins, when you consider the difference between 30,000 Alexandrite and ~179,000 coins, it's actually pretty balanced in favour of Mythics. The only issue is near-every Bazaar in Ru'Lude has Dynamis currency while about four stock Alexandrite at ridiculous prices.

    Other than Salvage +1 the only possible change I could really want to make is removing Assault tags from the game and letting us do Assaults whenever we please. There's no great gear from them anymore and we'd still have to put the exact same amount of work into doing Assaults as before, we can just do it at our own pace rather than being tied down with ridiculous waiting periods. I say the Assaults and Nyzul section will take at least 115 days, but when you think about it that's only about an hour a day, in total it doesn't even take a months worth of work to do it, so basically its less than a months work and over three months waiting for Assault tags. Yeah, that's stupid to say the least.
    A Dynamis style revamp of Einherjar would be nice, too. Change the wandering mobs to a TE and let us farm regular mobs there for Ichor and pop items for NMs to work towards Odin. Just like Dynamis they could add something like the Arch Dynamis Lord to get more people doing the event again. Something similar could be worked for Salvage actually, rather than the current zone boss having a 100% drop rate on Linen coin purses, they could stick a "???" behind them that spawns a Lv.90+ boss with a 100% drop rate for the coin purses and a chance at whatever items would be required for Salvage gear +1.
