7* Awakening Gem Trade in Option

Hey Fam, I just wanted to share a quick story and a potential quality of life improvement.
Going into cyber weekend this year I was extremely excited about the prospect of 7* awakening gems entering the game outside of the limited pool gems that we had already seen. On top of that I was very excited about the new awakening gem shards system which will help 7* awakening gems hold their value longer. This is unmistakably good for the game and the 7* lifecycle.
As of today I have opened four 7* Awakening gems.
That first one made me nervous to open. All of you know the feeling. For my account specifically, anything but science would great. I put the gem on the spinner, round and round we go. What do we get? You guessed it. SCIENCE!
A couple weeks later the Banquet rolls around and I have enough shards for another gem after clearing the milestones. Admittedly the first one was a big miss but ANY OTHER CLASS out of this one will be big win. Someone say it for me.... What did I get? F****** SCIENCE!!
My third gem was a nexus. Now you can bet your sweet tart tartin ass that science was an option. But, I went with cosmic to awaken Maestro so I could take the Titan nexus at the end of Carinas.
Last night I opened my fourth awakening gem. This one came from the Grand Banquet rank rewards. I placed in spot 267. I don't need to say it at this point..... ANYTHING BUT SCIENCE......
The gem is on the spinner. As the reel continues to roll all I can think about are the champs that I will awaken as the corresponding class gems pass by. Gwenpool, Warlock, Wong, Gwenpool, Adam Warlock, Deadpool X-Force, Wong, and.....
Tick tick tick, you guessed it the price is right. ANOTHER SCIENCE GEM!!!
This brings me to my quality of life improvement. This might be controversial but I don't think generic gems are coming anytime soon and I don't think they should. Rather I believe a trade in system should be implemented. This also reinforces the value of a 7* awakening gem. I don't expect it to be free. There should be two options. A cash cost or a Unit cost.
In theory I would be able to trade in one of my science gems for a guaranteed chance at one of the other five classes. A timer could also be added to this trade in option so it could only be done once per a set amount of time. three months, six months, a year etc.
For many of us, this is our favorite "fighting" game. But it's really more of a gambling and resource management game. I'm sure many of you did some quick math to figure out around about what was spent to open four awakening gems already. It was considerable thus making the outcome feel even worse. That's gambling though and I get.
So what are my plans for the three science awakening gems? I will still be using my ascended 6* for now because I don't have sigs to give him as a 7* but Miguel 2099 got the first one. He is much more of a long term play as he needs sig 200 but he is awakened now. Unfortunately he is not in the top six of champions that are currently getting sig stones on my account as a 7*. So we wait for that gem to pay off in the future.
The other two...... I have an unawakened Nefaria but also a maxed out 6*. I guess I could just not open more titan crystals until he leaves the pool and use it on him someday. Maybe....? I don't know, it's a long way from an immediate need.
But the third one?
No options.
It will sit on my account for six months to a year and will potentially only be used once a new science champ is released. That may be great in the future but it wasn't why I spent thousand of dollars now.
At the very least I'm hoping this post starts a constructive conversation that the right people will see. Looking at you Crashed!
Thank you to the game team and everyone at Kabam! Even though it pisses me off at times I LOVE THIS GAME and I love how an idea to make it better can sometimes come from a place like this. Hell, there's probably an even better idea that has been suggested below mine in this thread and that's really cool.
My MCOC new years resolution was to be better about not hoarding so much. You're making that pretty hard lol.
