Idea started out in another thread post that wasn't in the wishlist section, so copying it over here in case Mindark ever does read this suggestions subforum someday...
(Could potentially do something interesting with the idea... somehow integrating it in to all this cryptocrap that Mindark's about to step in to with Deep Token? - give option to take regular peds or ped value in deep token purchases that is tied in to whatever going rate is for deep token at that point in time - of course for that to happen would have to have some sort of exchange terminal that lets you trade peds for deep token values and vice versa at any point in time you wish in game, or at least on the main 'my items' part of the website as well)
This type of thing is probably needed more than in the past post loot 2.0 since many are looting shrapnel and finding it harder than in the old days to build up stacks high enough to sell on auction regularly, day to day.
Could argue it'd basically do for the global economy what Explosive Projectile crafting's done for Mindark the last few years... making it possible to keep cycling, but actually doing so with a positive impact on the economy instead of 'just trading with the Mindark's TT'/not positively affecting the general population of players in game that that was doing...
Just make it so that you can't 'buy back' from the planet tt thing from other avatar's TTed stuff until after 24 hours when they alone can buy back their own tted stuff... and/or make it so that you can only 'buy' the TT value that you TTed to the thing overall... so it'd keep track of how much tt value you put in so resellers won't be only ones buying from this thing... but those that actually use it and contribute to it.
It does sound like an interesting proposition... could actually make it a communal thing.... set is up so you have 24 hours to buy back your own TTed stuff for TT price, after that 24 hour it becomes something others can buy from the TT terminal in something similar to an auction format, for up to 7 days (or at least 3 days) (you can't buy your ownt stuff after that 24 hour period, but could buy some other guy's stuff in that terminal during the 24 hour - three or seven day timeframe)... perhaps even make is just 'local to the planet' so that it wouldn't be a universal auction thing... but something each planet/subplanet has.... could allow for some interesting local planet economies to start being created over time.
A few similar type programs have been started by individuals in the community over the years, most notably stts, and ATTQS but those are really limited by the TT value that the individuals in the community could afford to keep it going daily... an actual terminal to do similar could benefit the full community since it'd essentially put no limitations on how many things that are TTed that could be purchased at TT value by others in the community... We as a community looted that crap, let us share it!
(could even limit it so you have the option to choose if the TTed stuff goes out to general population in the planet or just to folks in your society... maybe even multiple terminals for it, one regular tt and one society tt (pretty sure a lot of societies already have something like this in place, but it's still limited by tt value that the guy or gal running it can handle... actual terminal would remove that limitation, making entire game cheaper for all of us potentially, something Mindark's stated they actually want to do over time)?)
