I have always thought that allowing to convert laurels to MC could be a good idea to fix this problem (in addition to the actual ways to obtain MC). I mean, laurels are time gated, there are not other ways to obtain them apart from loging daily and most of us have a ton of them without any use... I'm not an economist, of course it would have some negative consecuences but... it could be a solution. It's just a personal opinion.
