Another Raid, another 8 currencies to bloat our inventory.

So, Squeenix is basically doing the same thing they did last time with the different currencies on raids. Only, it's available in ALL the raids, rather than just specific raids, which is nice. HOWEVER, what I was HOPING they would do was not like it is now.

I actually just wanted 1 currency coins x8 in the raid. This way, everyone gets a drop. Or, if that's a little too straight forward, cut the rewards to 4 coins instead, and just make the coins usable to get what you need. You need 4 coins for pants, 1 for accessories and belts, 2 for head, hands and feet, etc. Keep the weapon coin in there at the last raid though.

Not 50 different types of currencies and 4 instances. They were on the right track, and then derailed lol. xD

Its a halfway choice. They want people wanting precise piece of equipement to potentially have to redo the content once or twice in the week but not too much because it was boring. If it was about doing each once/week then we wouldn't even have to roll for anything and auto-loot a token wich is sure easy but kill the content even faster that it already did.

Oh I know, it's just annoying to have so many currencies when they could've at least made it simple with 1.

I am curious about the part where you want to convert old raid currencies into the new one. So if someone had enough of the old currency they could get new raid gear without having ever done the raid?

That's basically exactly what I said in my OP.

by converting to new currency, I mean completely new. For example, take all 8 sigmascape normal currencies and convert them to a new Sigmascape Token. Do the same for Alphascame and Deltascape.

24 individual currencies go down to 3. Because these currencies don't matter anymore. They're just glamour

For example, the Demon Sarouel of Striking is a Lv50/i120 piece of leg armor that drops from The World of Darkness. The model is shared with the NIN leg armor from the same raid, Demon Sarouel of Scouting, and is also used for the crafted Lv70/i320 and dungeon Lv79/i418 leg armors for PUG/MNK/SAM and NIN. Those 6 items could become a single collectible, with 6 color options to collect.

Or, I know this might be a crazy thought, SE can stop with all of the reskinning of items and just make one of something and make it dyable.

Or, once the raid tier ends, just give us:

Alexandrian Fidgetybit (encompasses all of the alex normal raids)
Alexandrian Datalog (every alex savage)
Omega Membit
Omega datalog

ect.

And since its all just a glam thing (as you still have to clear the relevant fights to unlock older omegas), just give us one normal/savage token for every previous-expansion fight the same way poetics act as tomestones and have Retrofitted Membits and Retrofitted datalogs.

In light of the last Live letter I thought that this was important to bring up:

Q47:
With the addition of more jobs, the main arms section of my Armoury chest is constantly full. If it's possible, can you increase the amount of slots for the main arm? If possible, rings too!

A47:
This is limited by data transfer amounts, so it is currently difficult. Like with adding more housing plots, we have to make sure these additions don’t negatively affect server load in order to maintain a positive gameplay feel. The issue is less about database space, and more about the amount of data each character carries around with them. When the character carries around a large amount of data and teleports all over the place, this increases the amount of data being transferred and increases the server load.

However, this does not mean we won’t be adding more in the future.

They tell us (again) that they can't do something due to server load and that server load is caused by players moving around with lots of inventory.

SE then proceeds (for years) to purposefully bloat our inventory with currencies.

You're causing your own problems SE.
