Currency Update: Tokens!

I would still love to see the Token Exchange give the option of exchanging tokens but not adding them to our currencies automatically. There could be 2 options. 1 would be to add to currencies and the other would be to add to inventory, so that way, tokens can be sold, given away, etc.

Its still possible to get 30K 1 pt tokens out, You just need to do it in batches of 4, 7500 times, and then store them in the vault until the RB asks for them again.
I think the old wizard exchange made it so that you wouldn't be able to convert your tokens into more than 100 items, which would reduce the number of transactions from 7500 to 300, and would also allow me to do it the day of the RB.
Now what I would need to do is do the 7500 transactions over a period of time, and store them in my vault, and then when 1 pt wizard tokens come up in the RB, i'm going to simultaneously dump them from the valut (or more likely a shop to give me the ability to remove specific ammounts at a time) to my inventory, vastly exceding the limit.
If we were allowed to remove up to 100 1pt tokens at a time, I would just do it on the day of the RB and as I remove 100 I would immediately recycle them - never exceeding the inventory limit.
Or else maybe you could let me ping a programmer and have them trade me 2 ametsuchis for 60K wizard tokens the next time the scenario happens :P.

It is nice to have, thank you. It makes the token vault more managable. I certainly will want to pull out a large amount for my friend's stocking and this fits that need perfectly.
I have a large number of tokens in my token vault and love the idea. However, I see wisdom in having something like the old Wizard token exchange did. I am to the point where I don't plan on putting all the new tokens I win in the token vault, so I can have them on hand to sell or exchange for goods, etc if I need to with a user on the site. If it were more like the old wizard token exchange, I would always keep everything in there for sheer niftyness. What if you just put a limit on how many tokens one could remove at a time that was closer to the limit?

I still wish we had the ability to remove say 20 50 point tokens if we wanted to (especially since stocking stuffing is just around the corner.)
Guess I'll still keep most of my hoard in my vault then!

Then how about adding something that will only allow you to remove as many tokens as you have space in your inventory? I can see how withdrawing 30k 1 point tokens could be a problem, but it'd be really great to be able to take out, say, 20 15 point tokens for stocking stuffers and such without so much clicking.We have done this specifically because we are enforcing the inventory limit more, now, and trying to make it so that you need less items in your inventory to complete functions around the site.
This means that we will never let you get 30k 1 point tokens out. This is really how the system is intended to work. If you need 50 points for something, you can get out 50 points.
(Also, as long as the Rotten Rogue RE exists, I will always have a lot of junk items taking up space in my inventory. She likes to visit me way too much for me to risk clearing it out. So if you want to make it so we have less items in our inventories... *cough* /wishful thinking)

The lords of Subeta have heard our prayers, and have shone their blessings down upon us!
Thank you JESUS, the currency bank was incredible, but this just made it infallible!

Ack, I meant to say, multiples of EACH denominations for the different token values. ^^; Example: Say I only want to pull out 10 15point wizard tokens AND 20 2point wizard tokens, but leave the rest...Does that make sense...?

This is a good improvement, but like Potter and THESOVEREIGN have stated, it would be good to have the old system of exchange back, where we can get multiples of one denomination.

Ya I agree with Potter, this is a nice improvement, but if I want to remove 30K 1pt tokens for the recycle beast, that is going to take 7500 transactions to complete.
I think at least a few people are going to start to remove them from the token bank now, which would defeat the purpose of adding the token bank to remove some of the items the servers need to track.
It would be nice to have the functionality of the old wizard exchange back where we could chose the exact denominations we want back out.

Thank you so much for this! Hopefully we'll be able to remove several of the same denomination tokens (say 150 tokens = instead of getting a 100 + 50 token coin, we can get out 15 10pt tokens)

Helpful. Now if you could just make it so it would display the number of tokens we have on our sidebars I'd be happy.

But I still want to be able to remove say, twenty 15 point wiz tokens in one go, rather than removing a 15 point wiz token, twenty times.
