If you are talking about items like Dragua's Scale, just find someone that wants to trade pops. Ie, I would be happy to trade a Glavoid pop for a Chloris pop if I needed Chloris buds for Verethragna, or some mob with a lot of +2 items I don't need for a Dragua pop.

No, he means the trophies you get from killing NMs that you can cash in for augmented gear from the Dominion Sergeant. Wouldn't bother me a bit if this were possible, but I'm sure others would have a hissy fit.

Pretty much the only use anyone has found is playing the lotto on WHM/SMN body, trying for that 14% cure potency.

The reason players would disagree with this change (or as you call it, having a "hissy fit") is because they view +2 in a different light. Is it something players should be entitled to have access to just by completing easy tasks (e.g. AF), or is it something that should be a bit more exclusive?
Battle Trophies are extremely easy to get. Many pieces of +2 Empyrean gear are very powerful. They might not be top notch, but they tend to be very close to top notch. Letting players upgrade to +2 just through battle trophies would make them less special. I would hate to see that happen any time soon, considering +2 sets are some of the better rewards for current content.

Seeing someone with full MNKAF3+2 but using purple belt/martial knuckles disagrees with that "+2 is hard to get and requires skill"

I wouldnt have a problem with this if you could only trade in the 1st tier trophies.
If you make it something like 15 1st tier trophies for a single +2 item (15 trophies for 1 stone of ardor or 1 coin of vision for example), then I think that would be ok. For items that require 6 pieces for upgrade, that would be 90 trophies. For items that require 9, that would be 135 trophies.
If all you do is kill low level NMs for the 5th tier trophies, to complete a +2 body (9 pieces), you would need to kill 2,160 NMs. Some of these are easy to kill. However, having to kill over 2,000 NMs will take some time, simply from competition and waiting for spawn timers.
To complete other +2 items using just low level NMs with 5th tier trophies, you would only need to kill 1,440 NMs.
Of course, this also means that only NMs in the Hero zones will count, since we do not get trophies in the other zones. This would increase the competition for all NMs, regardless of drops, as people will want the trophies.
The plus side to this is that if you are helping people complete emp weapons, then you will be killing tier 1 and 2 NMs. So, while helping them get items from an NM that does not drop your items, you can work your way towards an armor upgrade. This does give an alternative to killing specific NMs, but is nowhere near as efficient.
If this did happen, for the love of Bob, let the players select which upgrade item they want... none of this random item crap.

OK, this is absolutely brilliant. It still takes considerable time, removes a level of randomness, and promotes helping others. I'm not seeing a downside to doing it this way.
This is why I love in-game point/token systems which is what the trophies are. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if that tunnel may be a bit longer, you know for sure you'll reach the end of it.

to help with "abyssea congestion", SE put +2 items to vision/scar zones nms.
as a result, timed pops like ovni and ironclads where drops were added are now camped 24/7.
could just make most vision/scar nm give trophies(maybe only up to #3/#2).
as for item/trophy rates, could do
10 trophies #1->body item
15 trophies #2->hands item
20 trophies #3->head/legs/feet item
and yes, no /random please <.<

Kill a different NM.. one that does drop +2 items.
And you're right about the armors being less then interesting. Only purpose I've seen for the trophies are Haste+3% boots (which due to randomness refuse to appear for me...)
Maybe they could be traded for 71>>90 aptants and (new) evoliths instead.
