[Suggestion] Only Exotics and above should have Sigils/Runes

[Leablo.2651]

The suggested approach is both short-sighted and not very self-contained in its impact. There are any number of better ways to resolve this issue like having the appropriate mobs drop mats instead of crap gear that has to be salvaged in the first place.

All my friends **only vendor** minor/major sigils/runes and I bet a lot of people do too. Even with that, the price of them on TP for the majority of them are at the vendor price. Which means, it's a waste and a hassle.

> I don't agree with this assessment. If you're saying the problem is with the supply/demand for those, then there are only 2 ways you can solve it: edit the loot table and reduce supply, or add a bunch of new sinks for demand. The first one requires a lot of development work for very little benefit (and you have to keep adjusting the loot table to keep the equilibrium). The second one is a lot of work for virtually the same result. **And most importantly, neither of them solves the inventory clutter we're having.**

In fact, they are working on editing the loot table and reducing supply, via unidentified gear. That is ultimately one of many "proper" because it addresses issues beyond that of the inconvenience of having too many sigils. Other "proper" solutions include adding a user-defined "sell all unwanted" option, changing the mystic forge drop tables for combining upgrades, adding vendors who convert the upgrades, and so on.

 

In the end, inventory clutter is still a symptom of other issues and it's better for the game to address this holistically rather than piecemeal.
