I really like the idea of bits, I think the concept works well for collectibles, but it's so poorly implemented.
First, it shouldn't be temporary, I don't want to collect things I ultimately lose. Second, instead of those 3x4 or 4x4 or whatever size bit boxes, have an album or something. Have all your bits be there, and let's say you can only choose one set to be active at a time. Have basic sets that can be obtained via normal game play, like boss drops or quests, with unique seasonal event bits (which have limited releases later on for die hard collectors). Basically, it's monster book but with pretty pictures instead of monster cards.
But I think the best thing to do with bits is to scrap the concept entirely. It's unnecessary, they give poor stats, it takes too much effort to get them, they expire, and maybe I haven't been following closely enough, but KMS hasn't released any new bits in years. One of the more recent bit boxes we got gave pieces of that Christmas themed image with DS and Mercedes, which I think was around shortly after Legends, which was like, 4 years ago, and I'm not saying that in a "Oh, it was 4 years before we finally got it" sort of way, we had it back then too. And it was only slightly more popular then than it is now (and that's just because it was new).
Honestly, I think it's time Nexon think about trimming away the fat.
