I suspect we will have a new class of salvage. And shards will then be converted to threads. So, we still have the two tiers, but you get rid of the oldest type.

I really hope to ******* god they don't change the currency.
It's hard enough getting a particular trial on union, now that so many people are playing new /time or beam rifle, alts.
Let alone when you want to do a BAF but the other four people who could allow you to run the BAF all need to do Tyrant's beach house, and two more need to run Tyrant's shower.

Amusingly enough, Cryptic (lead by Jack) is backpedaling having done this in Star Trek Online, which has like 20+ forms of currency. They're actually going to condense all these badges, marks, and emblems (same concept as incarnate salvage) down to one base currency, Dilithium. Thereafter, the game will only have four currencies: Energy Credits (i.e. gold, dollars, inf, whatever), Merits/Honor (earned along with XP and spent on very specific things like respecs), Gold Pressed Latinum (earned by playing dabo and spent on fluff items), and Dilithium (earned as mission rewards and either used to buy powerful items, or traded to other players for their Cryptic Points).|

That game has an issue with the number of Energy Credits sinks it has (as in, almost none), but at least they're recognizing that more currencies do not automatically make things better, just more convoluted.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
