Is that right? LOL I thought the recycle center was supposed to get junk items out of the system... But today I saw Richard Tiger Plushie is being asked. Please, can we have the coding of recycle center to ask items based on the amount of it around Subeta AND by the price in the user shops?
Oh wow, I just saw this too. Seems quest people are going nuts lately about Reading Drive items.
I thought the staff mentioned in the news when the Antique Shop was released that RD items were gonna get a similar treatment down the line. Maybe that behind-the-scenes adjustment has something to do with this?
please send me any/all and so I can keep them safe
it's due to the hover price of those items being at 100.
my guess is, that makes it pass the price checks for the algorithms

also, i noticed a lot of repetitive items within 1-5 days of each other.
Yeah, the Standard of the Lion (which is glitched to be at 100 average price and keeps getting asked for in quests) was an RB item about two weeks ago. Something's really got to be done about those items.
Is there a way to remove them from the system by giving them a different rarity number and excluding that number from the pool for both quests and RB? I think that would be the solution with the least amount of issue but I could (and probably am) wrong.

Or they could fix the hover pricing that's causing the problem.
^this might not be fixed with the hover pricing.
these things happen when someone quits and sells all their shit for 100 sp. then these items rarely get bought again, which means that the price is technically right, and stays at 100 sp.
a counter to this, would be to have a lowest SS price (like an autopricer) component for the RB algorithm.
like, pick 5 times the current items in RB, run it through autopricer, release the lowest 20 as RB request items.
i think for hover that would be too much (and kinda pointless)
