why bother making high level trash items?

[Fusionstrike]

I just have to ask the question: Why do high level trash items exist? If you're playing in Humania or the Blacksmoke Mountain preview, you end up with an inventory full of gray/orange/green items. Why? Has anyone in the history of PL ever equipped a L70 green? They apparently exist just to fill up inventory slots so you have to go annoyingly sell them all one by one in the middle of your runs. Why not just eliminate these items altogether? They're a waste of the effort invested to create them and the time of the players who have to sell them off.

Thats one pf the reasons how a lot of gold exists

How about a clear all option? On my farmer toons I don't carry anything that I won't liquidate, and it could ask if your sure 2 or 3 times, then get a full inventory dump.

I used a lvl71 green shard for a couple of hours until I found a purple one. Plus some folks are using the lvl71 forgotten orange and green items that are discontinued. I'm pretty sure there have been no greys or whites since alien oasis. Even in the sewers I think orange is the lowest.

I agree.

It's not like these items are completely useless, but the players who are Lvl 70, Lvl 71 are already using better gear, especially end game characters, so these items are pretty much a bread and butter gold-maker instead. What i find funny are people trying to sell off these items for several grand each. No top level player is going to need them so i wonder what they are thinking there's any sort of market for them?

How hard is it to just delete your inventory one by one, these help people gather money without merchin or buyin wih plat, and somepeople arent wealthy like others an honestly only can equip these, i remember wearin oranges an greens, i dont see a big deal with it IMO

What if I told you that right now there is a green item that gives you higher dps than any pink item available? LOL

DPS doesn't mean anything though...
Plus I believe a Pink Dagger can still provide more DPS than the Forgotten weapons.

I'd believe you, but with armour effects, high DPS, low dmg weapons are much less useful overall than high dmg items that also boost your skill damages too.

[Kaytar]

How would we reroll for pinks if purples didn't exist?
and if trash didn't exist, then would pinks drop 100%?

Depends on what you use them for. Do you ever farm lower levels? I do. I frequently farm the sewers and ssc, so high dps is perfect for those places as the mobs and even the bosses have very low armor. So these items do have some use. I'm not saying you should use them to beat the mystery mash boss, but they do have their uses.

Also, when you are on elixer and dmg is doubled or tripled, then the high dps/low dmg weapons become high dps/high dmg weapons as the boss's armor is not doubled/tripled. Try using a dagger on an elixer sometime. You will chop down even the highest level bosses in a hurry much faster than if you use a high dmg much slower weapon.

Everybody has a time when the had to equip trash stuff. But as you sell excess you pile up gold and then one by one buy pinks

[thecrankybearsam]

theyre here to piss you off

[Astrocat]

For people that doesn't have a certain amount of gold to purchase better ones. And to make some loot to to delete and make some coins.

[springtime]

Main use is money....

If all of those beggars would do runs and quick sale the crap I would stop getting harassed.

[Mennddoza]

I know I'm pretty much just repeating what some people already have, but this is maybe the number one way most players make gold in this game. Not everyone understands the concept of being a merchant, or is not high enough level to farm rares. It truly does not take long to liquidate 200 items...

yes, I'd love to see the day when newbies stopped begging you for items and gold

They do this so u spend plat on inventory slots. Sewers was best cuz only mini bosses and bosses dropped items. Maybe they saw a reduction in inv slot purchases when sewer was endgame and decided against it for future releases.

[Fusionstrike]

Here are other things that could be done that would waste less time if their only use is to make gold:

- Have a "sell all" button to clean out inventory in a single action
- Have a setting to auto-liquidate items at or below a certain type, e.g. auto-sell all green and below
- Eliminate the trash drops altogether and just award the equivalent amount of gold

Gold is the only possible purpose these items could have, and any of the ideas above would provide a better gaming experience. If you're L71 and you find yourself using an orange or green item, you're doing it wrong.
