    I figure this could be another money sink / a way for users to have a weekly community auction on good gear that users who are perma banned.
    I.E. 15 Users get perma banned in a week. The following Sunday, the "good" items from those users are posted a new tab called "The Black Market". Those items are listed for 5-7 days till the following Friday - Sunday. Items will have NO A/w and all mesos going to it will be put into a bank to be awarded in an event or something or just deleted.

    Highest offer wins.

    Cool idea. I'd prefer a Raffle as opposed to an Auction though. Makes it so that anyone has a chance of getting cool items.

    Voted No.

    There's not really any current need for meso sinks, as the ones we have are doing their job pretty well (and people being banned and their stuff disappearing was a notable one of them anyway) and making perfect stuff, while not "easy" is "easy enough," we dont need to be altering the supply of them imo.

    The system is working fine the way it is.

    Reading the title I imagined this would be an auction of permanently banned character names, which I rather enjoyed the thought of; there are plenty of terrific names (short lexical ones) that have been lost forever.

    Auctioning off items seems like a terrifically bad idea. Chances are the very good items on banned accounts are illegitimate.

    What about permanent bans that have been reversed, for example when the draconian laws regarding account sharing were modified and old bans were overturned.

    If I am not mistaken no one was unbanned although they decided to change the rule. Those, who broke rules that have been modified, still broke the rules knowing it would result in a ban at that time and remained banned.

    I could see even the IGNs being a problem as well. Say someone had an IGN like Bruuh, everyone would think it was Joah. To me IGNs are retired for a reason.

    The idea of deleting old permanently banned characters so their names could be reclaimed has been discussed before and for some of the reasons also stated in this thread by others, we decided that that would never occur. So the idea of auctioning off permanently banned IGNs will never happen, sorry.

    Regarding the OP's original suggestion, in my opinion, I quite like it. Some of the items and equips are of high value and would be a great meso sink, which I am always for. Of course, it is also something that if done, would likely be very limited in scope as many of these high value items were duped or illegitimately scrolled and would not be something we want other players to have. This of course is my personal opinion, but definitely something I personally am interested in pursuing further at some point.
