Seriously...WHY? A 3:1 trade in for old mats to new? Seems like a big finger (you know the one) to those of us who have collected them in the past.

Not to mention the items available are less than stellar. Maybe put 2 augments on the weapons or make them less situational, like adding two standard damage effects rather than things like maiming/animal bane/construct bane w/ fire damage (which heals one of the most common, dangerous constructs), etc.

Just my two cents.

Happy gaming all
