"Quality of Life" Suggestion: Raid Gear Exchange
In one of the recent update posts, it was mentioned that the devs were working on changes that would improve the "quality of life" of the game. After receiving my 11th full Comlink piece from Heroic Rancor (with another 279 pieces of salvage sitting in the wings), I'd like to make a suggestion.
Since a number of pieces of gear required to gear up our toons drop from the Rancor raid (I'm excluding including the guild shop and shard shop as that is not even remotely feasible for farming gear), can we please have a gear exchange system in place? I'm not saying every salvage type should be represented (you couldn't swap syringes or stun cuffs for furnaces), just the pieces that can't be farmed from normal or hard nodes. This wouldn't hamper sales as stun cuffs, stun guns, and syringes are still widely needed and can be purchased in shipments, but it is beyond infuriating to continue receiving the same pieces of gear we don't need when we have dozens of toons to gear up to compete in every phase of the game.
A second option would be to implement raid rewards similar to WoW. It's been a few years since I've played, but I remember that after completing raids, you would receive a token or some unique item that you could exchange with a vendor to receive a specific piece of tiered raid gear.
These changes wouldn't create an "easy button" for players as there are still so many characters being released (especially recently). It would just make the grind a TAD bit easier. If anyone has any other suggestions or changes to add please vocalize them below. I probably wasn't as clear as I should or could have been, so all constructive criticisms are welcome.
