I understand that this was supposed to be a way to get rid of your tickets if you have extra laying around but this is a huge rip-off. For champion chards they can range from 200-675. So that's 200 tickets for a 450 champion chard not even worth and 675 tickets for a 6300 champion is also a huge rip-off. Can you at least make it worthwhile to dump into it. This is coming from someone with 10k blue essence so no real bias here.
It's not meant to be worthwhile to dump into it. It's there to prevent the tickets from feeling wasted if you otherwise couldn't use them in any other way.
Since the next cheapest item you could redeem for is a key fragment for 40 tickets, at most 30 tickets will end up getting dumped into blue essence.
Lots of games do it. A special currency that can only be obtained a certain way that, for example, in an RPG setting, only has a potion or something as the cheapest thing you can buy, with the other rewards being significantly more worthwhile such as equipment, cosmetics, or items that can enhance your skills. The potion being a horrible buy is self-evident, but it's there in case anyone doesn't plan on getting any more of that currency (or can't) and wants to get rid of it. (usually to clear up inventory space) In this manner, they aren't forced to just trash the currency, and can still get something out of it, even if it's not as good as the other rewards.
