having a system to deal with excess weapon bloat would be appreciated.
The game currently has no item sinks beyond player death and naturally despawning drops meaning that most items are just considered garbage and quite literally thrown out into the environment until despawned.
Having an option to upgrade, sell, scrap, merge, or really anything of that sort would both help players feel rewarded and like they are progressing at a more steady rate, not to mention how significantly it would help the game economy long-term.
Preventing high tier items from bloating the economy would help in avoiding the unneeded risk of item/level creep in future updates.
Item/Currency sinks are a needed element of every MMORPG, most especially those which allow player-to-player trading and drops, BA has plenty of great sinks for honor which always will keep players in a position where they want to and need to get more of it, however we need more item sinks.
