Getting rid of old gear

[Titanas]

Every one wants to keep the vote map system for simple fast travel right?
What about changing the fast travel a bit, and also solving a mudflation issue.

Each tier of item has a value that it can be sacrificed for to earn points usable with the /votemap system.
Players would destroy an item to get points = to that items equip level to be able to "PORT"
After all the items are given point values put cost values on zones to port to.
few examples
training hammer / 1
heavy hammer / 2
war hammer / 4
heavy war hammer level 9 / 8
granite mace level 12/ 16
Calrian's mace level 15 / 32
level 20 m / 64
level 25 m / 128
ECT to the top tier

Now give each zone a value to port to.
Thornlands 8
Helena 20
Edena 3
Calruin 50
The Wall 250

So players would take gear to sacrafice it to get points that they can then use to "Vote Map/Fast travel" to any zone

As much as I hate the votemap system, I think this is a pretty bad idea. Until we can get a more resource friendly inventory system, the last thing we need is players stockpiling useless crap.

I also think the idea is convoluted and doesn't make much sense. A better system imo, and what I am going to do in my own map series, is to have a series of save points in the form of hotels, temples, campsite, etc. scattered across a series of dungeon maps. A given player would only be able to vote to one save point at a time.
ex. If you save at a town, you can vote to that town whenever you want. However if you travel to a temple and save there, you can no longer vote to the town, but you can vote to the temple.

If ya don't like the votemap system, don't use it. It's your own damn fault for your lack of self control.
