Thread: Wallet Barterer

How about an NPC trader that will exchange any and all premium wallet items for 1s. Ie 1 rusted dwarf tool for 1s, 5 rusted dwarf tool for 1s, 10 rusted dwarf tool for 1s, 25 rusted dwarf tool for 1s.

This would give me a way to dump stuff I don't want stuck permanently in my wallet (read festival tokens and low level barter stuff I may accidentally gather on my travels thru middle earth) without having to add a delete feature to the wallet.

It would probably be less costly to add a generic delete than a new barter entry for every item.

This biggest difficulty will be convincing that it is useful change. People will accidently destroy their barter items. They will complain on the forums. They will send in tickets to the Game Masters wanting their stuff back.

If it was me making the decision, I would not make the change because of the increased load on customer service and on the forum moderators dealing with angry customers that do dumb things.

Barter your dwarf tools for weapons and sell those.
The silver/iron/... coins from the festival drops you can already trade in at the NPC standing before the hunting lodge in Bree.

I get 50 to 100 silvers for selling the legendary items on the auction hall. A lot people on Meneldor would spam Moria trade channel. Tell me what you want. Only 50 silvers each COD.

The dwarf tools may have been a bad example. I believe there are many items that require multiples of to trade meaning you could be left with 1 of them clogging up your wallet. Or you have to go and earn the exact amount to make a trade without going over in order to get them out of your wallet. Not to mention you would have to travel to the relevant area to trade/de-clutter your wallet. All of which seem to be a PITA just to get rid of #### you don't want.

Add a "Items deleted are permanently gone" confirmation box and flatly refuse to return items. No more load on customer service.

Edit: the word it filtered was not a profanity. Bizarre filter. It rhymed with trap.

Your confirmation box would not stop the increase in requests for reimbursements and bug submissions.

trap spelled with a c is profanity, filter worked fine for that example. ... it is horrible in other places though.

The reason for the wallet is that you are not wastng a valuable inventory slot you could use for something else. You keep the 1s until you get enough to do something with. You can't reuse the wallet slot for anything else.

Do you throw out a penny in Real Life? You can't buy anything with a penny that I know of. I collect pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters until I can buy something. Or I have enough to make it worth visiting one of those coin counting machines. Or I roll them up and take them to a bank.

We have been doing this all long with coppers and Destiny Points. Same thing with Turbine Poiints. Oh boy I got five whole Turbine Points.
