Scale Exchange, a very simple concept: 50 Bronze Scales for 1 Silver Scale, and 10 Silver Scales for 1 Golden Scale.

Basically, it's a system that's supposed to cut down on so much of the grinding, but balanced enough for players not to have 200 Golden Scales in just under 10 minutes.

I'd like a system like that and/or have Big Runs and Eggstra Work give out scales as prizes in addition to what they currently give and you'd get more depending on what bracket you scored in.

That's really smart. However couldn't people still just grind for bronze scales?
Bronze Scales are typically earned at a very small amount, unless you're at a really high Eggsecutive VP, like 650 to 999, in which a large majority of players aren't even close to the 500 mark before the rotation switches over to a new one.

So the likelihood of someone grinding for Bronze Scales is not a lot, because they are the easiest tier to acquire just by normal gameplay.

Scale exchange really should be a thing by now. It sucks getting unlucky and being unable to get what you really want, even if you have a ton of the scales you DON'T want.

Yes I want this literally makes the scale system not as cancerous as it is rn
