A small request regarding raid currency and relic mats

Hi,

I don't know if you read posts here, but just in case, I'd like to suggest a tiny change.

Recently you changed the currency needed to buy electrium conductors and zimbiddle card from MK3 to MK2. While I do understand that you thought that it would make it easier but it created a bottleneck, and it's brutal.

For some small spenders like me, a few hundred bucks a year for 10 years (man how time flies), coliseum gave me the chance to catch up relic wise and gear up some characters that were still lagging behind. But MK2 is the main currency for G13 gear. One raid could basically get one of your characters to G13 give or take. But now? Can't do it, it's either relic or G13, not both. It's as brutal as it was before raid currency actually.

So I was wondering, would you consider making it possible to buy those 2 pieces with MK3 currency again please? Maybe leave both? MK3 is rarely used for k2 and lower players, except for the occasional r9 and zeta. And the players who go all out and have full r8+ rosters, don't buy the mats with raid currency anyway. That would be awesome. We could again use MK3 currency for the 2 mats aforementioned, MK1 for the rest and MK2 for gear.

Absolutely with you on how the change would hurt many players if they weren't simultaneously changing the gear required for new toons.
I also would be happy to see the both currencies compromise implemented. I mean, I don't think there's any way it could hurt anything. But I stand by the idea that we don't know how those changes will play out once the new marquee system hits its stride.
Meanwhile, if I were you I'd be buying r8 mats. I've been purchasing for r10 not bc I have any plans to r10 any toons, but bc at some point they're going to require r10 for the next shiny. So I'm slowly building up my stash of r10 stuff and hoarding it until needed. Maybe you would benefit from preparing now for r8s later? Just given current conditions -- not saying I know your account better than you, and recognizing that if they implement the dual-currency thing you would be going back to r7. But stockpiling r8 now would keep you from running into the cap, and as you say, the zetas are not well priced.
