I've always wondered why there was never a meso option for all the Coin Shops that we are subject to in various events throughout the year. The old Silent Crusade did a decent job at it with 10M Shoulder Scrolls and 7.5M? (can't remember) Shoulders. Buy, blow up, rebuy, fail scroll, buy, fuse junk ones and so on.
The new method of using coins is not only tedious, 20 bosses for 100 coins, but very slow, several days for Mystic Equips. I usually spend my coins on the 60 coin pendant which I fuse until I get a good one to send to a mule or keep for myself.
Now, if they changed the system, I might be using mesos to buy and fuse these pendants, but as you say there is a limit where I get a pendant that is good enough. But that's not where I most want to see this proposed system implemented.
Consider the Tempest store, how many of us would have shelled out mesos to complete the set on an alternate characters or AB or Kaiser or whatever was (re)released at the time. How many of us would have loved to straight up buy the scrolls we needed to scroll our equips? Things like the +7~+9 scrolls, ICSoG or Clean Slates would have flown off the shelves. The Tempest Rings and Shoulders and maybe Pendants would likely have done the same.
This is where I really like the idea, people with little mesos can continue to do the coin quests and sell their exchanges less than the store would sell them to make mesos and lift themselves up through the economy. While the wealthy could just buy the rings, etc., whether from the aforementioned or from the stores outright as a meso sink. They/I would then proceeded to blow them up using ICSoGs until I got a high-attack one. Myself and others would be tossing ICSoGs and Clean Slates on everything. Mesos trickle down, or mesos trickle out, a system I can approve.
