This video shows every maelstrom weapon that I cannot use and that has been placed on an alt to rot. This isn't even every maelstrom weapon I have, I keep ideal traited weapons in my bank.. these are all either duplicates, have a bad trait, or are just in general a terrible piece of gear (looking at the shield here).

Please ZOS.. implement some type of system to turn in special items (like the master and maelstrom weapons) as well as set items to receive ones that we actually want.
This could work by deconstructing the items, receiving a fragment, then so many fragments would equal a type of token to allow you to craft your own piece of this set in the trait/type/etc that you want.
All I want is my sharpened inferno staff :'(
