I wrote this last year: https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/60718/the-new-feature-we-really-wanted
I still do not understand why they couldn't simply just use the already existing Power Shift system. It's been used to downgrade, so why not make it also upgrade unused covers?

Correct, in fact since the Exchange Rate and the Size of the Storage are linked. Lowering the exchange rate means that you are inevitably forced to make the exchange sooner and more frequently. In the long term this actually leads to more waste.So for everyone out there saying the exchange rate should be 3:1, I present to you this plot.If anything the exchange rate (size of the storage bank) is way too low. Lets get some 10:1 exchanges.

y4747 said: overall, i think this is a step in the right direction - targets players' most stinging bad emotional response from the game, imo. that being said, i have clicked like on every post here asking for a tiered exchange ratio, and there have been a few. it's really a matter of time scale - for example, classic 5*s would require 733 pulls to get 5 covers; on average. that's close to a year of game time, if you don't spend much. that's just too long to build towards a single 5* cover. i am all for 1:1 on latest, 1:2 on calssics, 3 for 4*, 4 for 3*, 5 for 2*, as has been suggested.

But now, 2/3/7 Kraven, 3/7/4 MEHulk and 2/6/3 Valkyrie can have some hope in not wasting covers anymore!I always considered 5*s to be extremely difficult to get/cover/champion (something for the looong run), and even after almost 1400 days of playing, I still don't have a single one max-covered... and I'm OK with that! That's why I don't see the 5:1 conversion with surprise or anger.I know this may no be the perfect solution for some players, but I think it's a good one for the entire community as a whole. Just my 2¢.
HoundofShadow said: 1:1 swap for latest was a temporary service out of goodwill. It was never part of the game. It is something outside of the norm. The norm is you would selling your unusable 5* for 2000 iso. So, it's a great step forward as a whole for all tiers of players.

Yeah but the goodwill is a fix to the unfairness of gettung useless 5*s which are entirly dominated by RNG and are already super rare as it is.Bringing in a system within the game to fix it is great! Making it so I need 5 of an ultra rare thing in order to get one of an ultra rare thing isn't a step forward. It feels like another route to monetise a problem they created.There are ways of fixing this without treating your customers like wallets on legs.

Just my 2¢. You know what would have helped your chavez, Kraven, mehulk, and Valkyrie way more than this system? The vaulting system for 4*s that D3 just got rid of. Have fun trying to complete them now with the dilution they reintroduced.
