Convert Monthly Transfer Tokens into Paragon Points/other prizes?

The monthly server transfers, in my opinion, are kind of a useless reward for monthly payments.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a lot of people view the monthly server transfers as useful and use them all the time.

However...there's probably a simple way to fix it so that people can choose to either be rewarded with Transfer tokens or the cost of said transfer tokens. (800 Paragon Points.) Or perhaps some other reward, like 800Paragon Points worth of Super Packs.

Now, I understand that the store system has limitations and that this programming could be very difficult to implement, but isn't that what Freedom (The free-to-play system) is about?

Instead of letting Server transfers pile up in our account inventories, how about giving people the option of choosing to be rewarded with the Transfer tokens, 800 extra paragon points (The cost of a transfer token), or another reward equal to that amount? Sure it may seem like giving people 800 more points is a bit of a ripoff, but we're already being given an 800-point worth service, so it's not much different, we can just spend those points on something we think is more worthwhile from the selection. Heck, sometimes we might even buy a transfer token with that "money" when we need it.

Thoughts, likes, dislikes?

pick one of these monthly gifts:
-Server Transfer Token
-Server Slots
-Rename token
-Paragon Points

Would make everyone happy.
Myself, never used, and never will use these server transfer tokens.

Rename or server transfer only. The other ones are a bit too much, get me?

Heck, I'd be ok if you could trade in two server transfers for a name change...

Yeah, change it into "Account Service Token" to go along with the monthly pp and token.

Have one of the options you can take be more pp, something like 400-500 pp; since pp is so much more flexible you'd obviously not get the full 800pp "price" from them. Combined with the monthly 400/550 pp, this is enough to get one powerset a month, two costume sets a month, a bunch of super packs, a ton of consumables, etc.

I would love it if they could be turned in for the inventory increasers too.

--- 1 account service token ("worth" 800pp) for the vault increasers
* normally cost 400pp each, would be sacrificing 400pp of "value" to permanently increase your vault storage
--- 2 account service tokens ("worth" 1600pp) for the auction/recipe/salvage increasers
* normally 800pp each, would be sacrificing 800pp of "value" to permanently increase your XYZ storage
* would take two months to build up enough account service tokens to do so
--- 3 account service tokens ("worth" 2400pp) for the enhancement increasers
* normally 1600pp each, would be sacrificing 800pp of "value" to permanently increase your enhancement storage
* would take 3 months to build up enough account service tokens to do so
