Guild Wars 2

As many of us know Ascended Rings whether infused or not are much easily attainable, much to the point that a lot of people stock them up in the bank because they seem too good to sell to merchant for less then 5 silver but have no other use for them.

So the question is:
Will we ever get another use for those rings since they’re pretty easy to get(even more with the pristine fractal relics which is also the only use for those)?

Like making them salvageable for mists essences, as according to a dev post in this forum will be needed to make the new rune and sigil?

Or at least upping their merchant price a bit so it won’t feel like people doing challenging content(depends on the person and level of difficulty) only to get an unneeded ring(seeing as lesser tiered rings are much more expensive, since they are salvageable and their jewels, or orbs can be sold for a nice penny)

Would be cool to have special high-level zones apply agony to players in the future.
