Guild members do not generate footfall

allow players to easily trash items they don’t need. I think rock might be a huge candidate for this.

Why trash it when the coin machine will convert it into coin?

@blastronaut

create an upgrade machine that can absorb a lot of lower tier items and convert them into few higher tier/rare items

We did consider this, but rejected it - because we think players will get blocked on the “large input → small output” recipe. It’ll be perceived as grind. “I have to mine 100 rocks to get 1 blah. In MC you only need 1 rock to generate blah, etc.”

@blastronaut

create a magic/gambling machine that absorbs lower tier items and blocks for random chance of it producing out rare items

You must be new around here

@blastronaut

Also, I wish we could sell some items for less than a coin somehow. If we could sell stacks of 100 rock for one price we could move them more easily. If possible a second type of receipt basket and shop stand for bulk items could possibly do it.

This will be supported.

Unjoking aside - we did consider a sibling machine to the coin machine that was a recycling machine that would take large quantities of lower grade items and return a chance of some higher grade items. But we turned off this idea, as above, because we weren’t confident that players would appreciate the mechanic.

If you’re throwing something away, maybe it’s fun to have a chance of converting it into something better?

But the machine didn’t seem worth the risk of the usual suspects complaining about it.
