1. This removes a pitfall and will help many users. If you like, I think you can apply the same conversion code to the resetting of the image viewing limit to be consistent, which is probably still using 1 credit = 1 GP?
I kinda forgot about that one using the dynamic GP or Credits thing, so yeah, I'll change that one as well.
Edit: Fixed.

2. However, this does work in an unnatural way that circumvents the market, which is possibly why you did not do this back then? GP has fewer uses than credits and removing a major need to buy it on the exchange might eventually have a sizeable impact on the exchange orders and hence prices, depending on how many people switch from the exchange to this new auto-conversion. You might want to look at how much GP is spent on each use over the same period.
I don't think it'll really change much in that regard. The people who weren't exchanging Credits for GP before probably won't start doing so, so the only difference for them is they won't get shafted on the exchange rate. And the people who were exchanging it before will probably continue, seeing as you will usually still save a little bit.

3. Depending on how the exchange rate is broadly moving, the guaranteed conversion rate that is equal to the 24-hour market high does not necessarily make the auto-conversion more costly than market conversion, although it probably will considering the lower demand from point 2 above.
True, but on average it will be.
Ultimately, the goal was just to reduce the instances of "computer says no" for the source download function, and it makes sense to use it in other relevant places as well.
