I agree. Have a lot of useless rings wasting space in my bank. What about let people salvaging them? They could split in fractal relics or tokens, in order to help players buy items with more useful stats, mystic essence or luck or new crafting materials . What about throw them in the mystic forge? For a chance of ascended accessory maybe.
Going slightly ot, let pristine relics buy something else: it is a dead end doing fractals when you already have right set of rings.
Salvaging exotics is larger gold sink than salvaging bound “free” drops. And if the mats would be only salvageable from other ascended items, it would limit ascended weapons to only those who do fractals.
You’re right, but the whole system is “isolated”: you do fractals in order to be able to do more difficult fractals, so beside rings and backs, salvaging those drops would remain in the same close system. Could also be a motivation to continue playing fractals.
