Ok, so we have come a long way since the launch, and every patch seems to bring systems that were beloved in previous versions … but you still won’t give us Rebirth for Seasonal Characters, and Gem Transmutation (for those who don’t know, you pay a ridiculous amount of money to transmute one gem to another type of gem). Is this ever going to make it’s way or are we going to be Gem Locked into overly useless gems forever along with New Character Creation every 3 months and then the unending delete old to make room for new?
There is Gem fragment exchange in S6
Three different types of Gem Fragments can be converted into another Gem Fragment type at the Alchemist, for example: Amethyst Fragment, Topaz Fragment, and Sapphire Fragment can be transmuted into Ruby Fragment
That is fantastic news, thank you for the information!
I agree I really want character rebirth. It’s one of the few ways one can bond with a character

Could you not just create a new character with the same name? I’m not trying to be antagonistic here, I just don’t really get this since I didn’t play D3 and googling basically says it sends your items to eternal stash resets you to lvl1 and moves you to seasonal. So I am trying to understand the practical difference between “Rebirth” and creating a new char with the same name.
You absolutely can. There’s a psychology though with deleting a character vs rebirthing them that I think many former D3 players prefer.

Got it.
Same issue I have with tempering. Rational me knows it’s just as likely if not more so to give you the stats you want than the old system, but the psychology of getting an item that looks awesome and then making it “Unusable” feels bad 
Rebirth in D3 allows that Character to retain their Lifetime Kills and, I believe, the total time played. Otherwise, you are correct. It would be just as easy to Stash your and your Followers’ gear, then delete the Character and Recreate it as a Seasonal Character.
