Dear SK, thanks for a nice game. However, I do have one suggestion: the drop rates of Shining Fire Crystals (at least in FSC) is a bit much--relative to , say, SoLs, and since they are all bound, I am presently stuck with almost 5,000 of them (as I no longer craft). Would you please consider UNBINDING them, at least for an exchange at a vendor for 25/50crs--whatever. The same suggestion applies to all the Fire Crystals, as I also have an enormous number of Radiant Fire Crystals. Just a suggestion for SK Admins from a long time player (June 2011). Thanks for your time. Cheers!

I agree
Right now I'm up to nearly a thousand Warm Fire Crystals. This is getting ridiculous, especially since I keep finding them in Stratum 4, where there's supposed to be Glowing Fire Crystals.

Huh.
Could they fuel the clockworks (like minerals used to)?

Unbinding fire crystals would kind of crush the game… they're supposed to let you branch out more by effectively giving you additional 4* gear that you can't turn into viable 5* gear. Sorry, that I and most players can't turn into viable 5* gear. You've got an "enormous" number of radiants, probably from before the updates.

<insert witty comment here>
I don't see anything wrong with having bound Fire Crystals. I just want to be able to use the ones I have in bulk.

Unbinding them would crush
Unbinding them would crush the game and dry out the revenue somewhat (this is only a wild guess) so, no to that. However, i kind of like the idea of having the option to vendor crystals.
Another option would be the upgrade crafting of the crystals. At a hefty loss rate, something like 5:1 or 10:1 (probably even higher) to upgrade/combine crystals to the next higher one. That could also be enough to ease the all too popular rad drought without screwing the whole system over.

I make you black, bluue and red all over
If Fire Crystals were unbound then no one would find a need to buy them from SD since people would just buy them from AH or from other players directly. Although the thought of it does sound appealing, it would mean OOO gets less money for the energy purchases that people make. The best option to get rid of an overabundance of crystals is to simply allow us to vendor them at the same rate as materials. They are much more common than materials (except for Radiants of course) so making them worth more would be too generous.
And to all previous forumers and any future ones as well that suggest crafting up crystals, please stop. It has already been decided that it is a bad idea based on logic (you ca't break a crystal apart, then put it back together to make a perfect crystal as that would be physically impossible) and application (players could just farm T2 to get glowing/shining crystals and craft them up into radiants, meaning that there would be no need to do T3 anymore).
"I also have an enormous number of Radiant Fire Crystals"
I can haz your Radiants? ◕‿◕
