I’m honestly not sure which category this should be posted in.
Increasing the value of flightstones, by applying them to splinters and making upgrades cost more, was a horrible decision. I’m constantly starved for flightstones, even before this change. I have to max out current gear to meet raiding requirements so I upgrade a lot. It was a bad decision for the flow of gameplay to make the currency mandatory for more in game… I would suggest reversing that change.
Then again I have alts that do world content only and are sitting on make flightstones with no use for them. If you want to keep your changes, I would suggest finally making flightstones account bound as well as the Dragon Isle Supplies.
All it would ever require is removing nonsensical 2k cap for flightstones…and for war suplies, the only thing i am using them for is converting them to gold through batter boulders

The only way to run out of flightstones is if you replace an item that you upgraded already with an item that has better stats and you need to upgrade it to the same ilvl.
Seems not to happen a lot to me and I am generally starved with crests more than flightstones
Thats your problem right there.
If your guild requires you to upgrade gear because your progressing mythik or whatnot… and you spend your time with alts instead of actually farming those flightstones with your main…
Then you are not spending the time on your char that your guild requires. Simple as that. And you dont require a lot of effort. Just pug some M1s and in 1 afternoon you got all the stones you need.
What did you think raiding mythic was about? Raid logging and thats it? 
^ don’t listen to this paid actor whos protecting game damaging systems/limitations.
there shouldn’t be a flightstone limit (or it should be x10 higher) because they literally have no major abusive impact on the game (crest limit also should be higher like x1.5-2). most currencies are setuped so it forces the player just to waste more time in game, they always try artificially gate you.
mythic raiding is about getting gear for real game content m+ keys 27+ it’s just an utility. the times are gone. only world first matters, after raids are just rofl kekw content to get items. m+ is a skill challenge (with a lot of different planing). bosses in raids are 1 dimensional.

we can argue whether there is a use of flightstones anyways because it is basically a wasted currency. We have crests already…
At season start the best thing you can do is vault gear many alts then you have a good chance to get one or another fs reduction on your main as well. But if you are running 50 dungeons a week on your main, fs wont be your limit anyways
I don’t agree with Uda on this either, you shouldn’t be doing trivial content to farm flightstones buuuuut
Is this the only comeback you have when you don’t agree with somebody? It’s kinda stupid.

there is no real point to limit flightstones because they are like gold addon to some other currency. i am not telling making it free or something just make the cap reasonobly high so you could farm it ahead. 2k isn’t that much 10k would be ok
Progress raiding in mythic is what it has.
Its been like that since vanilla, where you had to farm stupid herbs and events to get world buffs… Or do daily quests in WotlK (trivial content)…
And in DF its still the case. If blizz all of a sudden makes some stupid rep that gives you some weird stone that adds 85 intelect… well… you farm that rep on week 1.
Its what mythic raiding is all about. And for the record, I disagree with the system as it is. I advocated to some flex “mythic” like difficulty (or other variant) to allow people like me that dont want to do the ultimate sacrifice for mythic raiding. To allow me to do something more than just AFK in heroic raids…
And to be honest, I HATE to do what is required for mythic raiding. I think its a waste of my time. So I dont do it. I dont raid mythic. DONE. 
Also FYI: Guess what my rep with the new faction is? 0? You guessed right.
I’m on the other hand seemingly perma capped on flightstones. I ran out once in earlier in progression but by the end of the same week i was capped again. If you want flightstones just play the game.
You’re assuming I don’t already do that on my main. 
Completely besides the fact how I use my time outside of weekly hc reclears, mythic progression and the 18 or more +20 or higher keys I do, the double limitation on the upgrades isn’t Blizzards smartest move.
Assuming my gameplay is lacking instead of looking at the actual problem with the system isn’t the way to go.
Then what is it?
Every system that Blizzard does assumes that you have to spend X time doing it.
You spent all your time with your main… and now you have to catch up with alts cause you did not spend enough time with them… OR… viceversa…
With my main i have 0 issues. I cap all currencies every week just by doing endgame content. Just like you, since you also do your M+ runs…
With my alt though… its a drama… but because I spend a fraction of the time with them… which is fair dont you think? No time == no flightstones…
The problem is as I stated in my initial post. Its fine to disagree with me. But the forums is a place for feedback and that’s what I gave. More account-wide currencies would be an improvement for gameplay. At least later on in the season (and not just for the last two weeks).
We were done with wyrm crests in week 4. I really dont think we needed any more of them…
