Suggestion: A way of relieving some of the RP issues.

Mod 6 approaches, and with it, undeniable a few new artifacts, artifact sets and maybe even artifact equipment. Aside from the fact that you already have to have Bill Gates wallet to max one artifact, now you might have to do it all over again because the new stuff will most likely be better than the old stuff. Like that wasn't enough, you have to level them even more levels, which quite frankly feels like a punch in the face. Wouldn't it be great if you could just pay a price to transfer the full amount of an artifacts worth in RP, into another artifact. My idea is some sort gem/stone/token/whatever that you buy (with zen probably), that when you use on an artifact/equipment and then use said artifact/equipment to feed a new one, it gives it it's full worth of RP.

Terms:
Only works if you feed artifacts of the same type (union, stability, power.)
Only works on the same type of artifact equipment (mainhand/offhand, cloaks to cloaks, and belts to belts.)

Example: Let's say I have a legendary cloak of Seldarine. Looking at the mod 6 gear and my current stat distribution, I might want to change it to a cloak of Black Ice. I go to the zen store and buy this gem/stone/token/whatever for 500/1000/x amount of ZEN and use it when I feed my old cloak to the new one. It took 4,645,200 RP to level my Seldarine cloak to 60, which is the exact amount of RP the Black Ice cloak now gets. All I have to do is put in the required marks to rank it up. This does not mean I can just switch between different artifacts/equipment whenever I feel like it, since it'll cost ZEN. I'm happy, and cryptic earns money! The contrary situation would be that I just can't afford to rank up anything at all, and I'll have to stick with the cloak I have. Cryptic makes no ZEN and I'm not happy :(

In reality, most people sooner or later want to change more than one artifact at a time. This means a continous flow of ZEN to Cryptic.

Thoughts?

    Seems reasonable. As long as its 1:1 ratio i dont see a way to abuse this. (duble exp weekend should not effect this)

    +1 to this

    I would also suggest turning the whole RP system in a way how you gain XP. Like some other games, the more you use an ability or item (by killing mobs, or pvping etc) you level that up in particular, this way you get to refine or upgrade an artifact/gear by actually PLAYING THE GAME.

    There are no "RP issues". Buy ZEN and you're good.

    It's not, they're buffing it to still be BiS thus making the entire level cap increase pointless.

    Wouldn't be good for this game. Works for WOW but they don't put any money into getting better gear. For those that spent alot of money just to get those artifact equipment up, that would be a huge blow to them.

    Would be awesome for casual players but not so much for people who either paid or grinded for a really long time just to rank it up.

    I don't mind if artifact weapons become obsolete. I do mind however that people that put so much effort and possibly real money just to upgrade them would feel betrayed. There would need to be a good compensation for that.

    There is no way to fix the artifact gear debacle other than to make them obsolete and replace them with dungeon drops.
