Considering we have a lot of useless items running around Subeta for under 100 sP, why not have an achievement for deleting 25, 50, 100, etc. items? I know we have the one for the pumpkins, but instead of a specific item, it can just be any item so we can get rid of some of the low-value items. I would say quickstock should count for this, thought that can be debated.

Since there's constant call for sP sinks ...

This reminds me of the achievements that were gicen out for deleting Free Beers.

I didn't like them, and I don't really like this idea. :c

I'd rather see the Crystal Shop rotated for to encourage people to frag stuff, rather than just deleting.

Is it bad that I suggested this in part because I think it's /more/ likely for staff to add a new achievement than give the Crystal Shop some love? I would certainly love to see more stuff get added to the crystal shop.

But even when people do frag, they usually don't do so with any of the mundane or common items, which are often the ones that need to get cleared out most. Or old holiday items, etc.

QS would make it too easy, and deleting them by hand would make it too hard and annoying. I can only see this working if it's done in a similar way than when Charity asks for food, but with any item instead.

But I can't see how this is an sP sink? No sP is disappearing from the economy. Only items. Not saying that item sinks are a bad thing though c:

Ha, I was thinking the same thing when I replied.

It is annoying to have to clear out junk that it selling for so low.

I do like the othermention of adding more things like Charity asking for food.(But lol, I could totally see them chucking ina 5k achievement and moving on)

Deleting items does not means sinking SP.

Crystal Shop is far better because the items sunk have to be restockable, and often, it's a better deal to get them from shop search. Even Recycle Beast would be a better deal than just deleting things.

Also, we already have a bunch of achievements for deleting pumpkins, freeing snow fairies and deleting an Ether. Just how much achievements do we need for a task that's frankly, not that interesting, and not that great for the economy either.

Personally I have no problem fragging mundane/common items, it's the motivation to actually frag that I have trouble with. But yeah not a fan of more "delete x items" achievements. If something like this were to be implemented I'd prefer it be a donation of sorts, preferably with a "donate all in your inventory" button attached because I'm a lazy shit.

A donation achievement might be nice, but I'm not a fan of a deletion one. At least with a donation achievement, you're putting items into a part of the site where new players may be able to pick them up and use or sell them. Deleting items is boring and we already have achievements for doing this for a lot of holiday items.

Like many others here, I would much prefer some attention given to the crystal shop or new items be made for the recycle beast shop if staff is looking for item sinks. While I (obviously) prefer fragging higher-rarity items, I certainly won't hesitate fragging common ones if I can get them cheap enough. I'm more than happy to buy a couple hundred common items if they're selling for under 300 sP because I'm still making a profit.

maybe make changes to recycle beasts item request algorithm? or increase request? but then you're deflating RB items, idk. its a give and take.

that's the another main thing that removes non-fraggable items that are cheap (<3-4k)

Other wise, fragging is the way to go.

I agree with Klassikal. The Fragmentizer should serve the purpose of getting deflated (non-retired/holiday) items out of the system.

Actual response: Deleting items is not fun, and it's terrible game design. Give us something to actually do with the items or lower the rate at which they go out. (Who even wants to find 5000 pumpkins during Morostide? Let alone be asked to delete them all for an achievement.)

Yeah, I don't see us doing anymore of these achievements. and I have found a lot of old items to bring back to the Crystal Shop so that will be a feature we will be using a lot more. :) I have planned out Crystal Shop/Token Shop restocks (where they'll happen like once a week) for the next two months! So make sure you have some crystals and tokens ready ;)
