@ZOS_GinaBruno I know the discussion of token systems has come up time and again on the forums, but I wanted to make a formal proposal that I hope will at least be considered by the dev team. The poll is included to show forum user response to the proposal.
FORUM VOTERS: PLEASE READ THE FULL OP BEFORE VOTING. THANKS!
New Currency: Item Tokens
This currency is accumulated by deconstructing BoP items. The currency is SET-SPECIFIC. That means deconstructing an Infallible Aether hat gives you one token toward that set's items. 100 tokens collected for a set can be spent on a vendor found in the zone where the BoP content is. This vendor has all items from one set, in all available traits. So in Craglorn, there would be separate vendors for each of the sets that drop in the trials. In Orsinium, there would be vendors for the Maelstrom sets and one for Maelstrom weapons. For monster sets, vendors would be in the zone where their associated dungeon is.
This currency would NOT be an inventory item like crafting materials or Imperial City key fragments. Instead, it would be like Tel Var stones. Because there would be too many sets to show all tokens collected at the bottom of the inventory window, a button in the currencies list would open a separate window, similar to the achievements page, that would list all BoP sets and show how many tokens you have for each set.
All items on the vendors would be purple quality. The Maelstrom weapon vendor would sell all Maelstrom Weapons. There would be four vendors for each dungeon, three for the armor sets and one for monster helms/shoulders. Each armor set vendor would have all armor, jewelry, and weapons for that set available.
A system like this would make every drop valuable instead of just being mostly trash, and would encourage players to keep participating in content instead of getting burned out and giving up after receiving consistently bad drops.
