Wasn’t expecting new currencies, assume this is replacing GET

Edited: for clarity

No. GET currencies are still around and from TB and TW. The new Guild Raid Currencies are new and from the new Raid system.

We now have 7 different Guild Currencies:
Guild Tokens: from the daily Guild Activities
Mk 1 Raid Tokens: from the new raid system
Mk 2 Raid Tokens: from the new raid system
Mk 3 Raid Tokens: from the new raid system
Mk 1 Guild Event Tokens: from Territory Battles and Territory Wars
Mk 2 Guild Event Tokens: from Territory Battles and Territory Wars
Mk 3 Guild Event Tokens: from Territory Battles and Territory Wars

I can see why they want to separate Raid Currency from Event Currency, but it seems like Guild Tokens could be collapsed and merged with GET 1...

New raid tokens are great news. With currency instead of random gear drop, you will be able to choose what you want and just buy it.

I hope we have some sort of complex currency conversion system soon. I feel like I’m traveling across pre-Euro Europe will pockets full of mystery coins.

What? No more Guild tokens from raids!?
I hope that's a typo! That will significantly reduce gear income, as I got like 6k+/week just from raids.

For most this is going to be a severe drop in gear obtained. The store costs are way to high compared what you would get for say completing cpit. The choice of gear instead of random isn't worth the cost. This essentially does all the gear economy improvements. R8 components are going to be horribly affected.

As someone who is color blind these new tokens are very hard to identify and it would be great if they could be made with different designs or dramatically different colors (black, white, red for example).

Wouldn't have thought color-blindness would matter since they don't really have color differences.

On a tablet they are fine, but on a phone screen I find myself actually squinting in order to tell which is which. I suppose this is one of those "tolerable but would be nice to make better, and would have been even nicer to not have it this way to begin with" things.

The purpose of the currency icons should primarily be to tell them apart easily. At a bare maximum, different colors and shapes, but really the best solution on top of that would be to have them in separate tabs (stores) so there is no question what you're spending where.

I don't think anyone is spending crystals on store refreshes anyway so it wouldn't be detrimental if we had one store per currency.

Another thing that is hard to see on a small screen is the conquest stars - 2/3 vs 3/3. Just make it *, ** and *** instead or some other way to show a node as completed.

I vote for no raid currencies and give us back the old rewards

They could make them all different colors at least...
