This is useless unless it lets us do the uptrading on alts as well when we get the ach on main.
Holy @#$% 6:1 is a bit much
why is no one doing the math? That's CRESTS not FRAGMENTS! When was the last time you had 90 (1350 fragments) of a lower tier crest in your possession? At this time my main (446) who clears heroic raid weekly has 600 fragments that just sit in the bank. I don't need any upgrades and I still don't have enough to convert up unless I really really want to do more lower tier content to push it up to 1350 which is stupid. This will be used by no one.
As an open world player who doesn't like Mythics/Raiding my current dislikes are:1. The whole system seems overly convoluted. 4 types of gear, 8 types of currency (crests/fragments), weird item level ranges (still can't remember if "Explorer" or "Adventurer" level gear is better, etc.)2. Crests/Fragments take up inventory space.3. I have a ton of useless crests/fragments filling my bags.4. Gear awkwardly gets "half upgraded" because I have no way/desire to get higher tier crests and that feels unsatisfying. (I think I'd rather the gear ranges matched a single type of crest.)It sounds like the new system will help address 3 and 4 at least.
Could someone make a small Mod that renames these items with just the patch number? Example "10.1 tier 1 Crest" or "10.2 tier 3 Crest"
If they put it 3:1 or 4:1 for the higher crests I think that would be a good conversion rate. Not too much, not too little.
I'd like to suggest that the "Dreaming Crest" names should be a little more intuitive, so it reflect the hierarchy in a more simpler way, improving usability and reducing complexity.For example, instead of "Whelping, Drake, Wyrm, Aspect", it could be something like "Small, Medium, Big, Huge" Dreaming Crests!
Can we please make crests BOA
Meh. Cool I suppose. They're all kinda useless anyways. By Christmas time, with the current gear system, most mains who do progression content will be close to max iLvl (disregarding BiS) anyways. This will only benefit those who do outdoor content / LFR in getting that last upgrade... and maybe a small handful of heroic raiders who don't do keys?
"you must have a piece of gear that is at least a certain Ilvl""achieve at least item level..."Those arent the same. Whoever wrote your text has no clue how itemlevel works.
People who think the upgrade system is complicated are telling on themselves. This is great regardless of the absurd conversion rate.
