I'd really like to see something similar implemented here.
All the faction bpc's that used to be drop are now in Pirate LP stores. They are a monopoly for the people who control those parts of null. And to this day a lot of people don't like the fact that a faction drop/ LP reward trumps player driven T2.

For here I'd rather keep crafting, crafting. The vintage system and the random levequest reward of a tattered or moth eaten part is where I would rather they go with rare stuff. Turning in gear to an NPC gives a motive to craft other than to stick on the market board and hope someone needs it. In a perfect FF14 I'd have a Leve to turn in two star gear to, with a vintage component as a possible reward but that system can't happen as long as we are forced to dungeon farm Potash and Coke the way it is now.
