[Request] Move all token items to its own Currency tab

An answer in this interview, but not the one we wanted...

Reddit: The books from Savage have started to become a clutter on player inventories. Is there any plans to add these to a currency tab similar to beast tribe currencies?

Naoki Yoshida: Adding new items to the currency menu is not something I want to do without proper consideration, and books from past raid tiers have very little practical value. I'm sorry to deliver this answer, but I’d prefer players to just discard them.

On a more serious note, currency items clutter up character data, and if we create currency data for each item, it would further increase the amount of data transfer required, which may cause latency issues.

I totally understand these might have sentimental value and it's hard to just throw them away, but if you could please just keep the books from the latest raid and get rid of the past ones...

So, yet another deep-rooted issue with how the game handles inventory. Keep the raid tokens as inventory items, and the system doesn't care how many you have or not because your bag size is the same regardless. Turn them into currencies and you have more data to carry with you at all times.

From the way its worded the issue seems to be having many currencies to keep track of. If that is what causes the problem they can work around it by consolidating into one currency. Someone mentioned Poetics before. They could also use the achievements system, or the Calamity Salvager (buy things for a small amount of gil).

Yeah, they could converge the older currencies into say an Antiquated Allagan Belt for belts for example, Antiquated Allagan Headpiece for the headpiece etc, Antiquated Allagan Coin for the coins for the older 24-man raids, etc. Stuff like that. That could be another way to do it. Then, similar to the way that older tomestone currencies are deprecated, at some point, merge older token currencies into the Antiquated Allagan currencies.

It would make sense to retire some of the older currencies and just algamate them into a single currency, I mean why have 5 beast tribe quest items when you could just simply algamate them all into a single beast tribe currency, that would significantly consolidate and reduce data. Just have the latest beast tribe quests be seperate then algamate them once the next expansion comes out or on the x.1 patch.

Same goes for older trial quests just retire the old tokens in favour of a single token after the newest expansion launches and add a token bonus for completing a new instance, would get people to help newer people farm or clear them to.
