Al Kapwn Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) Well, there is a lot of 'trash' in the game. Most people just use @ali for a specific item, but that makes mostly everything else pointless. My suggestion is, have an NPC that will exchange your trash (such as any low level card, scell, garlet, cracked diamonds, etc) for 'trash' points to an NPC, it'll keep track of these points and you can exchange them for a new "Trash Tokens", which would be the 4th token in the game. Each low level item you could exchange would have a pre-determined point value. So like: 1000 Scell -> 1 Trash Token 100 Cracked Diamonds -> 1 Trash Token 300 Green Herbs -> 1 Trash Token 100 of any card -> 1 trash token etc (just examples, the real values would have to be determined by the GM's) As a former scripter I know this would be a pain getting all the ID's and making the list - but I think it'd be really useful to the community, you could exchange them in-game for prizes like ygg tickets and such.

Masahiro Posted January 10, 2011 Report Posted January 10, 2011 hmm i guess its a cool concept, but i don't see how its needed myself. its a lot of work and for OCD people out there they may start farming things just to get these trash points. i think dqpns, eqpns and vote cpns are enough..ppl just sell the extra stuff for zeny anyways..or not pick it up at all
supream Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) would be kind of easy to get these tokens wouldnt it? any card can be easy to get. if you did the increase soil gltich (which will get you suspended) you could get 3k cards or more in no time. Edited January 11, 2011 by supream
nines Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Do you trade the tokens to players or into a npc for the prize? and this also seems kind of a quest ruiner since some of these items are used for quest.
Al Kapwn Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 Well quest items could always be excluded. And there could be an NPC to exchange rewards - plus trade them for regular tokens (would obviously not be a 1:1 ratio). You can't make the trash tokens too hard to get for a single item since no one really goes for like 1,000 of something unless hardcore questing
Appie Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 It's a neat suggestion but at least some of items you mentioned are already used for quests, including some cards(which are way too easy to accumulate). Scells can also be bought from an npc. So, it'd be kinda hard to determine which items should be "trash". It's easier to just npc the stuff you don't want and hoard everything else that might be of use.. and at least for me, I already have issues with my storage being full all the time... I really don't need to be hoarding everything else just to call it "trash". xD
Veracity Posted March 3, 2011 Report Posted March 3, 2011 This would require quite a bit of work to do and I don't think it would be that beneficial. Not to mention there isn't enough demand from players to really justify all of the work necessary for something like this. Thanks for your suggestion in any case! - Rejected -
