Ability to Downgrade Elemental Crystals into Shards.

[Nicobo]

...Given that Elemental Shards are the most used item in Synthesis, wouldn't it be better to be able to downgrade Elemental Clusters into Elemental Crystals and then Elemental Crystals into Elemental Shards?...[/B]

Btw, what is the "converting ratio" you have in mind?
IMO if it happens, the ratio should be something like 1 cluster for 2-5 crystals and 1 crystal for 2-5 shards? ^^;

Therefore I think DEV is very correct for this case, the suggestion of "downgrade cluster" would never be satisfied and it should only ruin current system/market.

In addition, one of the OP main reasons for the suggestion was about RMT, in some low popular servers there are almost no RMT supply,
OP suggestion will make gathering and sell shards much more difficult, unless the "converting ratio" is relatively low that no one will want to "convert" them. ^^;

Moreover, previoulsy there were many players suggested that the system should keep low level crafting/gathering relevent,
I think now the system has maintained this intentionally.
