Undaunted Pledge Transmute Crystal Improvements
Undaunted pledges now award their Transmute Crystals directly, instead of in the form of a geode.

While this makes things easier if you're under the cap, it completely destroys the ability to store Geodes when needed.

    Or just remove the cap, that would be even better.

    Can we stop requesting nonsensical things like this. This was done so that they could offer a much better variety of competitive rewards for the given tasks you complete instead of being forced into the geode system where they only have so much wiggle room.

    Why are we sitting at a 1000-3000 cap and concerning ourselves with stocking up geodes as if they're gonna go out of stock. At some point you're just collecting them to collect them.

    If you really don't like wasting transmute rewards even though it's become increasingly abundant, you can still craft a bunch of item pieces for 25 each saving much more space than the 5-15 these would of provided as an item.

    i'll tell the truth takes no time for experienced players to cap out maybe a week or 2 to get from 1000 to 3000 and still have nothing to use them for, but it makes sense for alot of players to get more for thier efforts

    Please just make transmutes tradeable... I would happily hand over millions of gold to those of you who are always at the transmute cap. I am an experienced player but I do not enjoy transmute-gaining activities. Surely this would be a win-win.

    This is the opposite of an improvement. This means people already capped with transmute stones will get nothing, not even a crate they'd rather not store.

    If this change is going permanent, then the cap on transmute stones must be removed to be fair, or at least make the stone crates trade'able and sell'able.

    ZOS: please remove the cap AND make them tradeable. The more options players have, the more fun they have. Which means the more time and money they're willing to spend on the game.

    I don't even use or earn transmutes more than a few times a year, but I'm still sympathetic to the eternal transmute storage struggle. It's also symptomatic of so many other issues of "artificial hardship" manufactured by the devs that don't need to exist because they mostly make the game less fun for players.

    FWIW, I don't particularly care and I usually run at or very near the cap for Transmutes. If I need to clear out some, I'll do some retraiting and deconning to make room, but my most common approach is to just not do the content where I get transmutes if I've got no room to hold transmutes. That said, the nickel and dime ones don't bother me as much as the 25- and 50-crystal geodes and I have to do a bit of planning around how I'm going to dispose of those. But "3K Transmutes and not much use for them" is a pretty common condition.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    as someone who is constantly capped on transmutes and have 3000+ transmutes locked up in geodes (eating almost 200 bag slots across characters), i actually really like this change lol

    to be honest i dont want the transmutes, if we cant sell the geodes i dont want them they are just eating up bag space and im almost to the point of just deleting any geodes under 25x ones
