Ever since we got the combination ability for inspirations I've always wanted the ability to 'break down' an inspiration.
So you could, for example, break down a tier 2 def purple inspiration into 1 small purple inspiration. Since we all know Murphy's Law is at work it seems you (I) always have 2 small purples and 2 medium purples.... >_<
I'd also like to see something akin to what you are suggesting...a way to upgrade the inspirations from, again, tier 1 to a tier 2.

Step 1 : buy 3 small red (150 inf)
Step 2 : Convert to medium red
Step 3 : buy 3 small red (150 inf)
Step 4 : Convert to medium red
Step 5 : buy 3 small red (150 inf)
Step 6 : Convert to medium red
Step 7 : Convert 3 medium reds to one large red
Step 8 : place 1 large red on market for 1inf, get 100,000
Nope, too easy to make tons of money by doing nothing...

And with everyone having the ability to do that, how long do you think that large red would stay at 100k? That's the negative impact I already mentioned in my OP. As I originally stated, it would drop the market for inspirations. This would, in a matter of hours, remove the threat you're talking about.

Hmm, possibly. I guess I hadn't really thought it through, not of a marketeer myself. I'm not so sure it's something I would use, but I suppose it wouldn't make too much an impact at that.

Well I would think the main argument against it is that the devs probably don't WANT us to be able to effectively have unlimited Large inspirations.

Instead of "solving" one problem you're creating another.
Then everyone could do this, 2 rows of Large purples 2 rows of large red, 1 row of large yellows BOOM! Your unstoppable......

Wow that's a lot of clicks for a measly 100K influence. You know with converters I can make a similar amount of clicks and make 150-200 million influence.

Anyway this just seems like it would make the game even easier something I can't support.

well the converting of 3 to one larger was used in Diablo 2 and I assume in D3 as well.
gem pieces or skull parts.this was brought up when the ability was first added to the game.
however a better question would be how much would you be willing to pay for that ability?
200,400,800 PP?
If the Devs can see a way to get more money coming in by doing it ,I am sure they will find a way.

Very simple idea: while we can currently convert three inspirations of any one type to a single inspiration of any other type, I would recommend that we be able to convert three (or whatever number the devs deem appropriate) into one inspiration of the same type at one size larger. Three small become one medium, three medium become one large. That would mean a player could convert, for example, nine small blues into one large blue. The primary benefit would be the ability to store more value in a smaller space as long as you're willing to forego the immediate use of the items in favor of future benefit. Those who did not wish to avail themselves of this ability would obviously never have to.
From what I've been able to consider, the only adverse effect this might have would be that it would negatively impact the market for these items. Market folk, however, don't usually farm for inspirations. I do have one toon that does this but it's a side-effect of ticket farming or purple recipe farming. Even in the market there are only about three different inspirations that currently are worth the time to sell and only the large ones of those. Therefore, I think the negative effect would be much smaller than the positive effect.
Obviously this would be available only to those categories of players who are able to access the appropriate size of inspirations.
