You weren’t going to be able to buy anything with what you had saved up anyway.
It would have likely cost over a million TR to buy even a random 475 relinquished token.

They’ve never converted TR before, they just inflated how much you would need to buy stuff each season.
The closest approximation would be when Valor was converted to Justice when a new tier came out. Valor was capped at 3,000 VP and Justice was capped at 4,000 JP. Any VP you had that would put you over the 4,000 JP cap was converted int silver at a rate of 47 silver per VP. So even if you were full on VP and JP when the conversion happened, you would only get 1,410 gold.
Titan Residuum has no cap and is being converted at a rate of 10 silver per point. So you’ll get a pretty hefty chunk of gold depending on how much TR you’re sitting on. For example, 100k TR would get you 10k gold.

If you buy a piece and hold on to it the vendor will give you gold. If you scrap anything not earned in 8.3, no residuum drops, we’ve already tried this on the ptr.

i have seen people already saving and recovering azerites thru the recovery system to stockpile azerite pieces instead of residuum and get a head start from salvaging residuum… theres a fix on the works to prevent that kind of exploit???
What are you even talking about?
There’s no RNG in the residuum system at all. Residuum is literally the only way to get azerite gear from M+

… You what, Vegeta?
No, no it isn’t. I’ve had Azerite pieces drop from the chest on Mythics.
And no, no. You are wrong again. They have random tokens and specific tokens for sale at the residuum guy. It’s often better to get the random for 9k or 17k (whichever) than to get TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND RESIDUUM.
No, you haven’t. It literally doesn’t drop in M+.

Oh, right. I’m heckin’ old and don’t do that high of keys anymore.
Here are a summary of the changes: The Weekly Chest will no longer drop Azerite Armor but instead drop a Mythic+ currency in addition to the normal loot. … A random piece of Azerite with higher Item Levels costing more currency. A specific piece of Azerite .Oct 19, 2018
But, hey. 200K Residuum for a specific, right? Let’s not have things drop anymore. 
You don’t even know how the system works but complain about it anyway.
Classic GD.

It seems only 445+ azerite pieces from 8.3 will give you residuum in 8.3. Stockpiling old pieces will only yield vendor gold or mats from the scrapper but no residuum.
Lotta people here complaining about stuff that Blizz has done before, and was known for a while already.

Yes. You can opt into the ptr and try it yourself if you like. Anything not obtained in 8.3 will reward 0 res when scrapped
100 residuum = 1 gold.
There, now it does convert to gold. Happy?

And that is how Blizzard should have framed this.
Or, more logically, 1 residuum = 1 silver since that’s just simpler

No. They have done this for many years and it was always converted into silver when they removed or reset a currency. You likely weren’t around then so I can see why it would be confusing, but they aren’t going to give people 100k+ gold for TR which is extremely easy to get.
Right.
Scaling up is ok. That way I know I can still try to do higher keys cos I can still try to save up as much as I can, and perhaps I will be more willing to do higher keys after I’ve already spent and bought everything that I want to get.
Turning them into silver is different. If I want to gold farm, I will do something else, like crafting stuff, gathering material, trade on AH, or just buy a Wow Token.
Once again I will emphasize that it is only fair if they have announced this when the season starts. You shouldn’t change the rule of the game midway (not counting bugs / abuse / exploits)
Well, Season 4 won’t start until probably mid January or later and we’ve known about the conversion since Octover 29th. I’d say that’s plenty fair warning regarding the change.
Hello!
I just wanted to reiterate the quoted statement here. Please be aware that the conversion is happening in one week, during maintenance for the content update.

Kaivax, is it possible to give us a rundown about Season 4 start ?
Like when exactly do Mythic+ dungeons will be scaled to the new PTR tuning, is it on the 14th or 21st ? When exactly do our keys “lose 4 levels” ? The 14th key or the 21st ?
Caps in place for the first week of season 4 ?
