Tekoneiric.6817 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Can we get some kind of sync for worthless items (holiday tonics) that can be sold on the TP but have no merchant value there? Either salvage or maybe a community grab bag that we can donate them for players to take a limited amount per day? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they never got to the point of being used in anything important, such as how flax was used to make flax oil and used in upgrades and new attribute combinations. Pls give material sinks for these items, ANet. :c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Storm.3046 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Everyone's trash is another's treasure... So, given the subjectivity of every item and in absence of providing actual value in trade: Provide an option to right-click on an item and select "Delete this and all identical items received in the future automatically".  Then provide access to the list somewhere, where you can optionally remove the auto-deletion to reverse the decision, from that point in time... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyes of Kormir were not unable to be sold on TP, it was not possible to store them in material storage. Â And they actually are used to craft gear with marshal's stats (along with runes, relics and some decoration). Problem is that Marshal's stats are barely used.

I would agree for cases where you can use the vendor; a few copper is better than none. There is also the Jade Bot Junk Converter for those who prefer that convenience. The point was to have some means of quickly disposing items that are not sellable through vendor and/or worthless through the TP, and have them not appear again in inventory so you're not repeatedly managing items that are worthless to the user.  The list would be subjective as everyone has their own preference... But anything that I don't use and can't sell or salvage, resulting in item deletion, would be on my list... Festival tonics, Halloween Finishers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been throwing them away too. You can't consume a stack of them like the other drinks, can you? If not they probably remain useless to me. Can't image to have the patience to do one at a time. Unless I do a macro and go afk - shopping xD Edited December 26, 2023 by Lucy.3728 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then after that, for no reason it starts applying a 5 sec cd. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time this happened, Mystic Coins are now 2g each, and Ectos 30s each, and Xmas food 15s a piece. Just let something be uselessly cheap!!!! It beats suddenly needing 10,000 of them for a unique vendor item when they cost 10s each.  1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) this was suggested a long time ago but perhaps arenanet should run internal bots on the trading post that buy up materials that exist in excess. for example, there's some items in the game with something like a million pieces on sale in the trading post, and just running a bot that buys up extreme excess and deletes it would do wonders for the econemy because while it would increase the amount of liquid gold in the game, it would also increase the player-traded gold and materials. Â vendor pricing isn't a true solution; you're never going to bring up the value of stuff like cooking materials by players vendoring them. you need a kind of exponential curve where the higher the supply of something the more aggressively its cleaned up and compensated for. Â i think last year alone there was something like a dozen materials that went from somewhat valuable to completely worthless.

That just pumps more gold into the game economy, I don't know what you think you're solving here, but I don't think you're solving anything. "see this garbage item that everyone knows is garbage? Well, I have a lot of it so it means I deserve to get more gold for it" -no, you we don't. 1 hour ago, SoftFootpaws.9134 said: there's some items in the game with something like a million pieces on sale in the trading post Ok and here's the question about the very basis of what you're trying to "solve": so what? If they wanted it to have more value, they'd make it much more scarce and make them required for more things. The mere existence of low value items isn't a reason to increase their value. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at candy canes you actualy lose money listing them on the tp due to listing and exchange fee. stack price is 79s 75c at lowest listing you can make and just vendor trash a stack 80s. So yea vendoring do solve the problem if you can actualy do it for each item. The snowman tonics are just pure drag drop delete items. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
