Make Classic Legendary Tokens look distinct from Latest Legendary Tokens

For LT conversion, it touches on another problem: Whales. Whales gather to buy Stark to get 140 cps. Imagine LTs in all part of the game gets converted to CP. Placement rewards, DDQ, Shield Training etc. Will spending increase or decrease?

CP & HP were traded for the flexibility and control we have for bonus shards today. The question to ask is, how much CP and HP are you willing to lose to get LT converted to CP permanently across every part of the game?

How would the game change?  Is preventing anyone from gaining CP only going to shake up anything? CP’s can already be used to purchase anything an LL can.  If the purpose of a buyclub is to gain more cp, they can do that right now but that doesn’t mean that they will go spend it in the LL store. They will have the same ingame spending habits as they do now - spending is often predicated on if the character is predicted to be “good” or “distinctly useful”.  If that happens to be the case, they will spend.  The only thing I can see happening is that the ones with the most CP, whaled or hoarded, will be able to target specific classic characters *when they are offered in a special store* - something that the devs have complete control over with the offerings at their discretion.  If that happened, which it just did with the Good Fortune store, then you are going to see more players with the characters that they are wanting, in which they usually want the “meta” characters and being able to acquire them.  Does this mean that the devs are actually deliberately designing and deploying the rare meta characters where they know beforehand what will encourage sales by virtue of their relative efficacy and then some that are just phoned in? If so, gross.

Humans are selfish creatures and they seek self-interest. They seek to maximise benefit and minimise cost so that they can get the most and pay the least for their choices. In the end, turning LTs into CPs without any tradeoff is a huge disadvantage to the dev.

In the past, the dev used to make offer threads frequently. Unfortunately, the responses in those threads are usually snarky and they decided to stop making such threads, or make it look low-profile. I remember seeing offer threads pinned often in 2018/2019.

Anyway, in order for LTs to be converted to CPs without any tradeoff, major event must happen. For example, a 6* is coming out and a new currency comes with it. So, you can't use CP/LTs to hoard for 6*. Or maybe they decided to come up with new currency to let everyone upgrade support to R5. 

I’d pay 5000cp right now if I could buy specific 5* supports.  Where do I click?

Well, I bite for it too. I thought it was a cheap offer but recently Google gave me a discount offer which uses to alterate prizes in game so I thought that was the reason. 
So if the goal was to tricky fishing some buckets, I am in the basket.
And even I have suggestion for to not deceive people: just a white letter "C" inside the icon, or just showing classic characters, things like that could make people realizing that it is the first time they offered classics. 
After saying that, well it's not so bad to have 10 classic tokens, but obviously if I knew it I wouldn't bought it.
If they implemented classic tokens for rewards inside new content, well I would think I was dreaming.

So the colour change suggests they are here to stay so the question becomes...what happens next?

They can come up with more Classic Tokens cash bundle without players looking for after-sale support? 

Well Zing, I guess!
