Suggestion: Chromatic Elemental Strand drop

I would like to talk about [Chromatic Elemental Strand] drop rate.
As we know, Elemental Strands have drop limited by 30 second cooldown. I found it annoying when I’m getting Chromatic strands few times in a row, because I selected specific location to farm one kind of strands that I need. Besides, we have plenty guilds with lvl 20 and all maxed structures. For players in such guilds these strands have no big value. There is also a group of people without guild who don’t want to be in any guild for some reasons. In this case this is obsolete value for them. I have two propositions and I would like to know what do you think about it.
Proposition 1:
Remove Chromatic strands from all maps beside stronghold map. Chromatic strands would be drop exclusively on stronghold map.
OR
Proposition 2:
Make Chromatic strands exchangeable to any other type of strand. The description says it has essence of all dragons, so why not exchange it for type I need.
There is already proper NPC.
Of course, would be still possible to donate it to mimic.

I don't know who's touching those sliders over there, but I don't think he's taken his meds lately.
Out of 5 groups of mobs with a 30 sec timer I get this HAMSTER 5 times. I don't want it, I don't need it for anything, it just makes it longer for me to farm the elementals, which I need.
How could you even add this HAMSTER, knowing that guilds are full of all currencies and you not planning to do anything with stronghold in the near future?
What is the purpose of this? To HAMSTER players off and waste their time?
In addition many times falling out of this HAMSTER doubles the timer of the next group...
As usual with you: lazy, HAMSTER work....
I'm fine with how it is today, and while I don't think Proposition 1 is very good; your #2 it at least a possibility... ...yet you'd likely only get 1/4th the amount, maybe 1/2 if lucky by exchanging them this way!
This would certainly help all players, and wouldn't hurt anyone if they didn't need the Chromatic strands!
They should just be in the exchange... then everyone can do something with them.
There is definitely an imbalance in how much of this junk falls out.
Yesterday I was farming decayeds and out of 2500 decayeds I got over 600 chromatic elementals which was annoying and increased farming time by 30%.
I don't like being made happy by force
I don't want it.
So what's stopping them (besides your opinion) from adding an exchange?
edit:
I'm just wondering if you are dedicated defender of poor decisions, do you even doing this content?
Do you farming thousands of needed components for tier 3 modifiers, or are you just bullshitting to disagree with people who find this problematic?
By the way. Is it possible to offend someone by telling the truth?
Half of the people who comment on absolutely every topic, not playing actual content at all. But they still know everything about any subject. Even though none really applies to them. Because they care a lot about others, who like them, not doing this content...
Just lol
And how do you know who is playing what content?
And I can also search for a specific character/account in the game, see what items that character has, which always infallibly shows me what someone has done in the game.
Usually my bitter adversaries are wearing yuma stuff or items few mods olds.
Simple conclusion: they don't even try to deal with current content, about which (in their opinion) they know more than me.
How do you know the character you are looking at is a priority to the player?
Just like my mythic insignia upgrade from skill nodes 😀😀
I have a quite few alts and each one is better or worse cared for. On this account I didn't run normal a lot vos, I focused on hardcore right away because I wanted band of air. As a result i have only few legendary rings, not enough for all alts.
But... Usually +2 and +3 are much better than any other rings in the game. So most of my alts have them.
I had to focus on items for my main character, so I farmed lures at t1, t2 and t3. Practically all my alts have something from these hunts.
As you know some items from mini bosses are still viable for endgame. Drop has been nerfed so much that it is a huge pain in HAMSTER to get something useful. I still need boots with combat... But... Almost all my alts have items from minibosses.
I won't dwell on weapons, because each class has its own specifics and not every weapon is from endgame dung or trial.
For now, I don't farm ancient dragons too intensively, because I don't have much time and I want to get all the modifiers I need first. But even with such a weak approach I have single mythic items on three or four characters...
In a nutshell, this is part of the reason why it is easy to tell what someone is doing in game.
Hypothetically, there is no way that, if you caring for only one character, you could have nothing for the alts
I have no reason to return to old locations with those characters, I not enjoying it, and I’m not doing anything "by the way".
On top of that, I have to deal very often with people who try to use my character to do something on the map that they can't do by themselves... The result is known: the game idiotically divides the already small number of elementals by half… It’s enough when someone just touch one mob in the group before elementals will be given.
The farm takes forever. Hours of unimaginable boredom. Are you surprised I'm angry? This is a stupid project, completely thoughtlessly made. Or maliciously.
You think they are useless, but the actually are not. They just don't have a use for you. The idea of being able to exchange them is nice, but surrounded by a bunch of unearned narcissism, making nobody care what you have to say.
Go back to your guild, where you can sit afk autofollowing until you die, then pick up rewards when your guildies finish the dungeon/trial or whatever content.
So far you have not written anything mertorical besides your personal pathetic malice.
Report me to support and don't forget to tell them not to turn on my exchange under any circumstances.
And go have fun somewhere else.
You are as boring as this farm.
Chromatics by their lack of exchange and poor value have no use to anyone, defender of the oppressed.
The value of this currency is questionable for me. I know that after changes in Tyranny of the Dragons there should be some kind of curency to build stronghold, but it should be done in other way. It could drop only on stronghold map and from heroics there. Also, ratio beetwen amount of currency and coffer gain & guild marks should be better. Now I have 4k of useless currency which won’t change anything in my alliance. Instead, I could have one modifier unlocked more...
I never disagreed with the OP suggestion, though I don't think the way to handle it is the first.
People that want to farm this currency still can today, they just need to go to the correct map to do so! Also Guild Leader's could also organize a weekly event for an hour for everyone to run and defeat enemy together in parties of 5, forming 2, 3, 4x or more parties lead by Various Guild Leadership to help farm.
Now what everyone donates would be up to them, which is their choice. Restricting Chromatic Elemental Shards though to Stronghold would see people donating far less, not more - why I didn't like the first suggestion. Still I do think they should improve the drop rates & yes even the Guild marks they give!
That's what's wrong.
If I have to farm a specific currency on a specific map with specific mobs, why people who need chromatics can't farms on specific map (stronghold)?
Note: People also donate far less if they limited it to Stronghold, at least currently you can earn them everywhere.
It's why it's best to just ask Guildies to donate what they can, yet most are likely saving them first for their gear... ...still as more earn all the gear then they'll have little less options, so more will donate to guild but that's less likely when people still need stuff.
So more will likely donate to Guild in time!
Still the advice is good, you can organize going to any map that drops Elemental Shard's, just find one that drops the Shards more people need, and organize groups to go out and defeat enemy! You'll always earn Chromatic Elemental everywhere, it just drops a little less.
They did it this way, so people could earn them on all maps. If they restricted to Stronghold, you'd see far less donations, as people don't spend great deals of time at Stronghold; most want to do their campaign area's, or do Dungeons, Trials, and Skirmishes! I'm open to #2 option the OP had, and be fine if they slightly increased the drop rate for Chromatic Elemental Shards. Yet my 3 main character's I already have 2,750-5,000 already and it's two weeks?
I know they are redoing/changing the Diagon Hunt on Stronghold. Perhaps that will also give something? :*
