Raid tickets just got *much* more expensive?
But I usually buy my raid tickets with loyalty. It was previously 2k loyalty per raid ticket. Now, 2k loyalty buys you 20 essentia, and it takes 70 essentia to buy a raid ticket. This means the purchasing power of my loyalty has been cut by an astounding amount - it was just devalued by over 70%.
It was also previously stated that the old exchanges would be around a while to ease the transition. But that is not the case - we are no longer able to buy raid tickets with anything but essentia or units.
To break it down: if I had known this would be the exchange rate, and converted all my loyalty to raid tickets, I would have been able to buy 3.5x the raid tickets with the loyalty I have than I can today.
Is there something I'm misunderstanding here? Have I made a mistake in my math? If not, this seems like a massive purchasing power reduction for the millions of loyalty that I have. I didn't worry about doing this conversion early because I was assured that purchasing power would not be reduced, but unless I'm wrong here, that's not how the reality has played out at all.

Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
What is this abomination? We could get 3X the stuff from the old stores, now we are stuck with a bunch of old currencies, and the new store is worse than the s-much-needed-an-update BG store!
And Raid tickets are now only money and Essentia, so whoever spend his before checking it, is forced to use Units.
Another Scam.
Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
Why are there conversion limits when current batteground objectives are still granting trophy tokens. Current AQ week rewards is still showing glory as rewards. All these currencies are going to go into overflow and expire before the conversion limits reset??

Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
This whole store is a gong show.
7 day limits on everything, INCLUDING rerolls.
1 single relic sig stone.
Absolutely no BATTLECAST shards now.
12'600 essentia for 180 raids tokens.
You gotta be kidding me.

Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
each of those conversion limits should have an extra two zeroes at the end

Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
this can’t possibly have been intended. 4 glory at 100 each? It’ll take me six months to spend down my reserve of glory, and it’s barely more than I get in one week. Whyyyyyy

Re: Why is the essentia conversion stuff limited
I had 600k incursion artifacts saved up to convert to essentia.
I didn't realize I would be converting for the next 75 weeks.
This game is a joke; only interested in selling overpriced casino crystals and everything else is designed by a blind monkey.

Essentia Issues
Also, why so little on trade in stores every week? You've just added an EXTRA store to consolidate the other currencies but not letting us consolidate our currencies? 🤦

Essentia is a JOKE
1. You can but 5 shuffle signets from the shop. Oh what's the problem then, signet shop also had 5.
Here's the neat part: Essentia signets reset PER WEEK. Yes you read that right the weekly "allowance" of signets have been reduced to 5 from 35. As it stands battlegrounds is practically unplayable until this is fixed
2. 6* battlecast relic shards. I know we're moving to "statcasts" and yeah I also have all the battlecasts as well. However as it stands the only consistent source of these shards is the mysterium store which is less than half of what BGs store had. The battlecast shard income for new players have been cut by 66% overnight. Considering there are 30 something of them good luck collecting them, VERY player friendly
I'm not gonna bother trying to find other bs with the new system, feel free to comment
