Shadow Coin conversion to Magnus Coins

Wouldn't it be nice if Nexon would allow a larger amount of Shadow coins to be transitioned into Tyrant coins so that people could still earn good gear through WORK instead of having to pay a lot of money or somehow kill hard mode Magnus (rather be taken by a funded be person to loot most likely), kind of like Gollux pretty much is with the blue/green coin distinction, except for the fact that lower difficulty levels in Gollux don't require you to have to beat hard mode, but provide incentive to?
I know we all like to make mesos, but honestly, Tyrant gear skews things to a horrible extent in terms of a character's damage if they're unfunded, and actually more than anything provides incentive to hack and scam. Especially considering cash shop is basically necessary to enhance them without booming them and losing a ton of money to the point where it actually starts gaining weapon attack? Same with CRA...

1000 shadow coins = 1 magnus coin

tyrants are not meant to be obtained easily. either buff up or spend tons of nx on nx events when it comes along (ie. marvel).

In my opinion Shadow Coins being able to be exchanged to Magnus coins is a bad idea, even with a bad ratio. It would be better if Nexon added a weekly quest(linked to the account) that gives 2 Magnus Coins and also increased the amount of coins that Hard Magnus drops to 10. This way people who cant kill Hard Magnus can obtain a Tyrant piece every 35 weeks which seems a fairly long time.

Isn't this kind of already true anyways? Sadly I know people who do such things. I can't pretend I don't see it happening.

[quote=Ruew]if they made the ratio super high then sure. The whole point of end game gear is that it's end game, you're suppose to work hard to achieve it. People work hard to earn the money to buy those gears, whether that be merching in game for weeks/months or working in real life/using their parents money.[/quote]

As much as I'd like to believe that is true for everyone, that's simply not the case. I'm unfunded as a player, and I definitely work hard, and I've strived endlessly to prove that you don't need to be well-off to become successful, though I acknowledge it's by no means easy. But a lot of people just buy the equips. Until somewhat recently you could only REALLY get them from marvel... Which meant you had to spend money, and if you didn't spend money, you would have to pay extremely excessive amounts of mesos, which, being unfunded, isn't very easy to do if you don't buy nx through mesos either. But I've seen this in every part of my life when it comes to my ideals and aspirations. Things don't start out even.
Still, I believe firmly that the fact remains that we can change things for the better to accommodate the naturally disadvantaged to some extent. Not even speaking something like handouts either. Links are one way...

@Copyrighted Each hard magnus drops roughly 6 coins per person (it is "instanced" similar to CRA equip, excluding RA mage pants). Seeing that it would take more than 10 week for a person to earn a tyrant from just killing hard magnus once a week, we would have to expect a number far higher than that for normal magnus and that would render the idea ineffective: by the time they get enough coins, prices are sure to have dropped to a price point that isn't unreasonably high.
