It's easy to come into a thread and go "phsst this thread is silly" it takes a bit of thought to give constructive feedback though, guess thats why there is so little of it on these forums.

There is a saying "If you have nothing good to say, say nothing at all"
It's a bad idea, it would destroy the economical standpoint of a DoL since they would only be able to obtain NQ mats and possibly HQ shards, but then the system would also have to change where the DOL can get shards/crystals/clusters rather then what they are meant to get which are materials and HQ materials. To just have HQ crystals would simplify the process to a point where they just might as well granta 50% HQ rate whenever you synth lol.

This topic wasn't about getting rid of HQ all together nor was it about changing it to crystals, it's about combing +2/3 into +1, so I don't even know where this whole talk of eliminating it completely came from. Do you really think storing item data is that tough, if that was the case then the game would of had problem storing data for NQ 1-3 for all the items they had released at the start, which isn't the case anymore. If anything we have less items then before because of recent changes, the only issue atm is since +!-3 do the same thing, the OP just wants to turn them all into +1.

Honestly the easiest method to do this would be to just put an NPC into the game that will exchange your +2/3 items into +1, you give it to the NPC he'll see if it's +2/3 then trade you back the same amount as +1. That would be the simplest solution, the other 'solutions" just degrade the gameplay value for crafters and DoL and take away from the game rather then help it.
