Workbench to Upgrade Gear

Their answer didn’t make any sense. That shard shop reply has nothing to do with taking our thousands of lower gear to higher

You're having thousands of them because you're playing for such a long time and you have to mix them with gear of higher tiers to get the new items.

Or is it just a scam at all and you only need a very low amount of them? Right now the answer given is nothing more than a bait, luring you to hope that the tons of useless pieces will come into handy. Better stay sceptical.

I'm pessimistic.
"You'll be exchanging both lower-level and higher-level gear for new materials."
I think that higher-level gear will get more emphasis in order to create another gear bottleneck. I really hope that I'm wrong.

There’s been a lot of conversation about this. I think it’s been stated that gear will never be able to be “converted” into higher tiers of the same gear. I forget exactly what they said they have in mind, and I’m having difficulty locating the source material.

Q: Will there be a system implemented to use up our overly stockpiled low level gear to hopefully use as an exchange rate to gain higher level gear? This would give us use for the thousands of gears just stock piling away.
A: 154M - You'll be exchanging both lower-level and higher-level gear for new materials. There's currently no plans to have an "exchanger" of low to high level gear. We think that's already covered by the Shard Shop.

Here is the comment on that topic.

yeah OK...was worth a try :-P

But "no Plans" doesn't mean that it comes by time :-P

My dude... Kyno to the rescue ?

If you read the road ahead blog post, they've already said what you'll be doing with your "thousands of lower gear pieces". You'll be using them to exchange for materials to upgrade the iconic items that are coming to the game.

Well considering the iconic items are likely end game content, no, I dont expect newer players to be able to get them. But we wont know anything specific until they make their detailed announcement/release that content to the game.
