Skill gems useless

Hey,

I am a ranger level 65 on Hardcore mode, and I have a problem with my stash in high end.

I have one tab of my stash totally complete with this skill gems, some of them...more than 2 times.

They dont have value, because a lot of them are really easy to get it, without quality, imposible to sell.....so , in my opinion are totally useless right now.I dont know what to do with them.

I got some ideas to change this situation.

Perhaps, if we will be able to sell 3 skill gems, the vendor can give us a new random skill gem, totally at random or at least, if we ll sell 3 skill gems with the same name, the vendor will give back us only one of them, but with quality ....

I hope, in the future you can think about it.

Greetings,

Sell 3 skill gems (1 of each color) and any amulet to a merchant gives you an onyx amulet

sell 1 skill gem and an iron ring to a merchant to get a resistance ring

apply 1 alchemy orb

different skill gems will give different values of the implicit mod (attributes/resist %s)

I disagree with your current Ideas as it should not be easy to get quality, which is what your second suggestion does. I do agree completely with you though, that those gems are useless. There should be some crafting recipes in which you can utilize these useless gems, other than just creating garbage white rings that we would never use :P

My suggestions:

1) Possibly trade in 1 gem of each color to get a chrom or 2. this is simple enough and not OP in my opinion. of course we would have to figure out a way to keep someone from just farming the first few gems and doing this. but honestly, I say let them waste their time. I can find chroms faster than that anyways.

2) at least allow gems to be sold for something other than a scroll fragment. Correct me if I am wrong but I think thats all you get for one right now. even like 10 alt shards or an alt would make me happy.

3) Based off your first suggestion; depending on the lvl, quality, and lvl requirement of the gem, let us sell them and acquire 1 gem at random. of course I do not know if getting quality from this should be allowed as I think that should only be a drop thing, however, give use the chance to sell 5 or so and based off the factors stated above, provide us with a new gem. This would give us the chance at getting added chaos or w/e else we may possibly need. If trading in a quality gem, let the quality add to the increased chance of getting a "more rare" gem and not just getting one of the starting gems.

It is kind of irritating how useless skill gems are at times. Especially the ones that nobody in their right mind would use to begin with - crap like Immortal Call for example. I end up just selling a lot for scroll fragments, honestly. If I get a no-quality gem drop, and it's not one of a small handful of exceedingly rare, decent gems, I just leave it.
