I have posted this idea before in another thread, but I believe this may be a way to compromise on trading between players. This suggestion is a hybrid of auction house and a system controlled vendor. You would sell items to the "reseller", you get seller tokens based on the item and upgrades. You can then use these tokens to buy equipment that others have sold to the "reseller". All prices would be controlled by the system and would be based on the item being sold/bought and what upgrades/unlocks the piece of equipment has purchased. Here is a start on what the prices [b]could[/b] be. [quote] Item/Rarity | Selling | Buying Exotic/Raid | 5000 | 10000 Legendary | 250 | 500 Rare | 25 | 50 Uncommon | 5 | 10 Common | 1 | 2 Ascendant Shard/Energy | 31 | 62 Armor Material (Plasteel, Sapphire Wire, Herodiric Essence) | 1 | 5 Mote of Light 250 500 Strange Coin 125 250 Marks (Crucible/Vanguard) 5 10 [/quote] With these numbers you would have to sell 40 legendaries to purchase an exotic, 400 rares to purchase an exotic, or 2000 uncommons to purchase an exotic. There are pros and cons to this system. [quote][b]Pros:[/b] - Players still have to work for their gear. Trading in massive amounts of low level "scrap", or materials. - Hard-core and casuals can both benefit from this system by actually contributing items to the market. - Conversion of marks. This allows players to be able to earn marks another way, however the mark cap per week would have to be removed or adjusted.[/quote] [quote][b]Cons:[/b] - The UI for this system would be something that doesn't really fit with all other UI elements in Destiny. This could cause a delay in development or just a general feeling of the system being "out of place". - The stock table that would hold the items that players have sold would also be another system that could cause a delay in development. - There is also a possibility of overflow of exotics on the market. For this Xur would have to be removed from the game, or made into the "reseller".[/quote] Feel free to post any suggestions that could improve/adjust this idea.
