More uses for tournament tokens

Every pvp player who is UaX, which i would assume is most of the serious pvp population at this point, have hundreds if not thousands of tournament tokens laying around. My idea would be to turn tournament tokens into a kind of PvP currency similar to gold.

They are currently the only thing a uax person can purchase with faction and a player will use at the very most 18 in one day and thats if you compete in all 3 hero battle tournaments and all 3 gvg tournaments but most people i know particpate in 1 gvg and/or 1 hero battle making 6 tokens a day and thats assuming you're the one to pay for the gvg tournament. So as you can see they have next to no use

The value of a tournament token would be equivalent to about 250g I'm not sure how much easier it is to get faction than gold (if its easier at all) but for now I will use 250g as my example and can be adjusted accordingly if i get some numbers on how much a pve player can make.

You could get things such as
1 hunters/dwarven ale for a token
1 sugary blue drink for a token
15 for a white dye
25-30 for a black
30-50 (not sure on current sigil price) for a sigil
5-10 for a flame of balthazaar
possibly even 1 token for 1 reward point

I wouldn't mind just being able to trade them for gold but I'm sure someone would find a reason this would mess up the pve economy or something like that so just using them as a pvp type currency would seem like the way to go.

So just wondering if anyone has similar thoughts on this.

To be honest, I think making these into a PvP-gold is kind of dumb... why do we need two types of currencies in the game? I think the simplest solution would be to just give them a merchant value of 250-1,000 g (depending on what is most balanced). Then, you can just merch em. It won't ruin the economy, IMO. Also, I think this topic has been made before.

if it has been made before sorry it wasnt in the idea index and i couldnt get the search to work.

I would agree that a merch value would be better i was just worried people would for some reason hate it because of the pve economy thing.

But could i get a link to the other suggestion of this

People probably would hate it, I definitely know where you are coming from. However, I think it would be for the best and everyone would get over it that PvP players got their hands on some of the "precious" gold...

Anyway, I bumped up the topic to the top of sardelec for you.
