Besides the new set of REQ’s from Ghosts of Meridian, I have obtained all of the possible REQ’s from gold packs. While it is nice that I get 6,000 REQ points in replacement of the two permanent items, I still find it difficult to build up my collection of REQ Cards with the legendary items, such as Prophets Bane, Phaetons and other legendary items.
A solution to help me, and others having the same problem, could be that once you have gotten the certification for that weapon/vehicle/power up, only then can you buy one REQ card for that specified item, for the price of 10x the amount it sells for.
For example, you can sell a Phaeton for 200 REQ Points, so once you have the certification, you can then buy one Phaeton card for 2,000 REQ Points.
You can sell a Mongoose for 50 REQ Points, so once you have the certification you can buy one REQ card for the Mongoose for 500 REQ points.
My friend was lucky enough to get a Prophet’s Bane in his Warzone daily win. Since he does not have the certification, he would not be able to buy one.
This wouldn’t just be available to people who have completed their REQ collection, this would be available to everyone. I believe that if this were to become a feature in a future update, such as Memories of Reach, then people would use a lot more of their more powerful REQ’s without being scared that they’ll be instantly killed and not get t use it.
What do you guys think? Should this become a feature in the future? Should the cost to buy items be more than 10x the sell price?
Thank you for reading! 
EDIT: Forgot to say, that you would not be able to buy any of these REQ cards for real life currency.
I think this would cause players with the certifications to have an extreme advantage in wz. Could make it difficult for people without them to do well in WZ
10 phaetons for 20k
100 for 200k…
I like the idea, but I feel it could be improved on. This would make it so everyone would have Answers, Oni Warthogs, whiplash, and Speed boost (tier 2)
My suggestion is.
Legendary items 15k
ultra Rare 10k
Rare 5k
Uncommon 2.5k
Why are my prices high? It prevents people from mass buying a lot. Plus it’s a guaranteed drop. So there are still incentives to buying the standard gold packs because there is a chance you could get a lot of good things (Like Spliced), but if you absolutely want something getting it priority shipped to you would be the way to go. and it’s more expensive.
Also you can buy items you don’t have certifications for for 50% more… So a Woodland tank you don’t have certification for would be 15k

I like your idea of the prices, seems a lot more reasonable than mine. But I do disagree with the buying items you don’t have the certification for. I don’t think people who start out should be able to save up REQ points to then buy the most powerful vehicles.

As Zeezke99 wrote, the prices for more powerful REQ’s would be a different price, to the lower REQ’s which I think is better than the original idea I had in mind.
