Why? Reason one. I'm sure there are probably a number of people out there who have bought items they no longer equip and selling said items off to other players is a rather laborious task. Even when selling said items at a reduced price compared to the cash shop counterpart you still end up getting little to no offers. Just look at any forum post relating to cash shop items. Reason two. If you have been around the server for a while I'm sure your cash shop is as messy as mine is with rows upon rows of unusable equips due to class changes or simply it no longer fitting an aesthetic you are going for. Life's even worse if you happen to be a leech seller because then you likely have 50 swimshorts and another 50 swimming goggles meaning you will be scrolling quite some time before you actually find the equips you are searching for. I understand this can be dealt with by having a mule to soak up the unnecessary equips but this topic is more about how to get rid of it rather than how to deal with it. Reason three. You simply might wish to convert something that has value (allegedly) into another form of currency. This could be nx, meso or even tokens of teamwork because those kind of take awhile to farm and we might as well implement another means of acquiring them. The solution? Probably this guy located in later versions of maplestory. Wherein you trade an item in for a determined value. Issues? I'm not sure if it's possible to track the value of the item in cash shop and somehow have the npc trade it in for a third and/or half of its value? I'm not entirely sure how to value certain event items considering they do fluctuate. This is probably something that should be reserved specifically for cash shop items based on the above point and the fact that they do have a fixed rate.
I suggest dropping them all into aquaroad until they form a new island. also big nay on the tokens of teamwork, dont take away a reason to do pq from ppl
this might be an economic issue because you could buy nx items from other players -> recycle and buy gach with the NX you got from recycling, and gach tickets should not be tradeable
I wonder if the work around is to make the recycled points only usable on a certain section of the cash shop. Think of them like 'maple points' which can't be used to buy gacha tickets.
If this was implemented millions of NX would be re-injected into the game in a very short amount of time, which would not be healthy for the game economy. Originally NX expired after 90 days. I think its okay that once you bought an NX item you can only sell it to other players, use it, store it or just throw it away. We do want to make NX item sellable via merchants but it more difficult than we'd like it to be Nevertheless, thanks for your feedback!
