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

[Mimilu]

What if they condensed tokens from similar types of content and expansions into one type of token then added them to the currency tab?
So each expansion would have its own 8-man Raid currencies (both normal and Savage), 24-man Raid currency, and Trial currency (sans special ones like the Monster Hunter Trial).
Harder/Higher iLevel content would give more of that token.
For Trial mounts you can buy with 99 tokens, maybe you'll need a certain drop from the Trial in addition to the Tokens (the item could have a higher chance of dropping then the mount or maybe just always drops in the chest).

Why? Because a lot of those tokens stop having a use. Would be a lot of ui coding problems to add all of them to a currency window, when 90% of them are useless a patch or 2 later.


You can solve your inventory issue by throwing most of those out. I see a bunch of old crystaloids which you don't even need anymore...

Better question is... Why wasn't it a currency to start?

I never understand why people like this seem to always be against making nice QoL changes to the game. With your way of thinking, lets just move everything under currency to inventory items. It's on you to deal with inventory management.

Option 2 would be to remove some of the "Key Items" slots and just change those into currency slots. You rarely use more than 10 of those slots of the total 105 slots available.

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).

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.

They explained why it's not a currency in the interview I linked. It's a data issue.

It's also probably to do with rolling for loot. You can't roll for currency; you just receive it. It needs to be an item so people can roll on it.

And apparently those key item slots don't really "exist" in the same way that our main inventory does. I'm not clear on how it works, but I think it might have been that key items are more just switched on and off according to your current quest, and appear in that tab but don't take up space the same way?

With the interview, I only double down on my suggestion to take old raid currencies out of the game and make the items from them available for poetics. If they are competitive with the poetic gear for that expansion, then make it so you have to clear the raid series before you can buy them. Everything else is inferior to poetic gear and people only want it for glamour so it's a bit petty to care at this point.

For current raid tier, I suggest getting rid of individual drops for the gear slots and just simplify them to weapon tokens and armour tokens.

I would love that personally! The only 'downside' I can think of would be on SE's end. If they no longer have the tokens for each slot, it would take less time for people to complete their gear and possibly unsub sooner.

With that said, I'd still rather see all of the tokens make it onto the currency tab at some point. Maybe rework raid tokens so that the current raid will always use one specific token set, and then all of the older raids can use a different token set. Could make a nice tidy tab that just has two columns showing the feet-weapon tokens. One for current raid, one for old.
