Well first I must say that I really enjoy WOD and have had a great time playing here so far. However, the one thing I noticed is that almost nothing you make, harvest or loot is sellable. Therefore I thought perhaps this would give the players a nice outlet for all the items we can’t sell .
Trash Cans Rewards
I am sure many of you are familiar with the concept and probably debated over it at one time or another.
For those who may not be as familiar with the concept. A few years back OSI started a "Clean up Britania" campaign. Their purpose was actually to drop item counts to ease up on the servers. This was a time of old OSI housing when you could lock down as many chests as you liked in your house. Therefore players like myself would have 15-20 chests loaded to the top with all kinds of magic items etc.
Anyhow what would happen is you would drop items into the trash can and it would give you a point or two for each item. As the points added up you got the option of selecting a particular reward item from a list. It has been a long time and to be honest I forget what the list was.
So back to WOD, I think that it may be a nice option to add a feature like this. Obviously there would be some work involved in adding such a feature. It would be important to make sure that it does not throw off the balance of the game. Therefore I thought the item list should be things that would not directly affect the game play.
For example:
Furniture Dye Tub
Black Dye Tub
Some type of unique housing addon (like suit of armor or bearskin rug)
Also have a few lower end items, perhaps things like heal bots or cure bots,
Now obviously the list was just to help illustrate my example. I am sure that if this idea was adopted that the staff could come up with a better list. However the point would be that nothing from the trash reward would really offer and swing to game balance like magical weapons etc. Just a series of nice little items that give you a return for all the items you drop in the trash every day.
