We need a way to conveniently exchange Poetics!

This problem will go away for some time after 7.0 comes out.

Level 90 Augmented Tomestone gear will switch to poetics giving many players plenty of gearsets/weapons to buy if they didn't grind capped tomestones and hunt marks (or raids) in 6.5/6.6. Also, the various Manderville weapon stages will all require poetics to some extent to finish them. That is a huge tomes sink that will last some time.

Bigger issue is they need a "gear item currency bag" for all the current bag filling garbage players get intentionally nagged with.

Trying to get into endgame is a big turnoff (and got me to quit ffxiv months at a time and to play a different mmo) as it feels like you need an excel spreadsheet and an addon to auto-clean and sort bags and to tell you what upgrade to target. If I wanted to do office work I'd get a front desk rep job at a company to be paid to do, why would I voluntarily pay to do it instead?

Like how much old stuff do you keep? I keep current books and trophies only in my chocobo bag (exactly 5 items atm). Spent all my Rokkon tokens right away and I get rid of the old useless stuff. If you farm an old mount, just keep farming for the same one till you get it and then get rid of the trophies either by discarding them or buying weapons to desynth.
