How to fix this red scrip nightmare:

For this one, I think adding the ability to turn in the 3 items for 1 set of NQ crafting items would be better than lowering the requirement since they are HQ mats.

3) Reduce the number of red crafting tokens for hidden turn ins from 3 to 1. This would make roundstones, mute feathers etc. etc. more valuable than the standard tokens, as they should be, they are more rare. Right now that is not the case, because nobody wants them.

Yes but if you do this you still have the issue of the super rare hidden tokens being useless... because people would just trade them in.

these mat is for 2 stars craft, them don't sell very well atm, mats are expensive so the craft is expensive.
It certainly should be nerfed, i think it don't go well with the current economy of the game,
few peoples can buy the final craft. (Big Crafter and Gatherer, Carry seller... Gold Buyer...)
But a nerf would also be annoying to someone who is actualy farming, and say what i farmed for hours, now loose in value, it can be a pain in the ass too XD.
Conclusion : if there no nerf, it will still hard to sell the final craft, if there a nerf some players will not be happy of the nerf.
From the begining involve too much works to get the item rare and too much overpriced was not a good idea.

I understand what you're saying but the past is the past.

Everything gets nerfed eventually, just some things are broken and need immediate attention.
