Currency conversion and upgrade

[silverfang6]

<p>I am sure like a few of you, you probably have 500 or so Void Shards.  It would be very nice if we had an option to craft x number of Void Shards to make a Mark of Manaar, x number of Marks to make a Primal Velium Shard, and x number of Primal Velium shards to make a Pure Primal Velium Shard (so on and so forth).  I would love a way to spend or create new currency out of the old currency. </p>

<p>Why should you be allowed to use currency obtained in an older zone into a new zone ? You haven't actually played the new zone, have you ?</p><p>Plus every time a new zone is released why should anyone have an advantage of getting the newest set of gear using their old stuff ?</p>

<p>I'd like to see them remove the shard and mark costs for older expansions gear so that I could actually make that gear, at least for appearance sets or to dress my guild npc's or mannequins.  Velious armor (except for Drunder) doesn't even require shards now.  Seems odd that Thurg and Ry'Gorr can be made without the DoV shards but old TSO and SF sets can't be.</p>
