Aloha Royalers! My apologies if this has already been posted, but I looked in the archives and could not find a idea such as I will propose. First off let me begin by saying this: I find myself having left over/unwanted donor items, and they just sit in my inventory to collect maple dust. If the cash shop inventory worked, I would not mind slapping it on a mule and move on. Although a system such as I will propose will be difficult, I'd like to share an idea you can dabble with. Let's say I purchase a donor weapon for 8 Royal points, I feel you should be able to hand it over to an npc and receive half of what you paid. Now, of course a system like this is difficult to code, but I just wanted to propose a solution for the left over donor items myself and royalers fondle with. Now, what if the number is odd? Of course half RP will be awkward, so a 40% refund shall be applied. Say you spend 5 Royal points, you receive 2 in exchange. For higher number the ratio should fall between 40% ~ 50%. Arguments I can possibly see two objections to this suggestion, that being: 1. You're not a donator. Which is completely understandable. 2. You might only donate for the things you want, thus leaving you with no extra items. But, with the addition of new donor items, I can possibly see more and more items becoming abandoned. Once again I apologize if this has already been posted and if so, feel free to close it. Take care royalers ~
I don't think the staff would be very supportive of this idea. The fact still stands that you actually donated the rp to acquire the item, not purchase it.
I think that this idea may reduce the amount in donations to MapleRoyals, thus decreasing the amount that they have to pay the servers bills, so there may be a problem with this. I mean there have been instances where people have had so much donator gear that they wanted to have it removed(not exactly sure how this works) from their inventories because they are tired of it clogging it up. So if they could just sell all of their items back that may generate somewhat of a problem. How large? Who knows. Just putting those two cents in there. However, I do believe that there should be a system to move items within an account(perhaps this is coming with the fixing of the Cash Shop in new source?), or an NPC to store them so they do not clog up your inventory if you chose to buy more items. Also, you mention the addition of new items leading to other items getting abandoned, but that is the choice of the player to buy the items in the first place. The donator shop is purely aesthetic beyond what is available for NX cash, so you could sort of compare it to how it was in GMS(even though they had expiring items).
Well you just shut this idea down lol. Great points, I couldn't agree more with what you had to say. It all comes down to self desire. I just thought this could be an idea to recycle donor items.
Well you're idea isn't bad, but it still affects on money the server gets : People would donate less. Simple business. That's the reason the original maplestory didn't suppost this idea either.
