Card Removal - before complaining after reading the title, read the damn thread

[The Roger]

People complains.
People complains about everything, everytime.
After six years, SIX, lets talk again about Card Removal.

This was the discussion: click here

Im pro card removal. Not a removal service like those filthy high rates, where you get back cards AND gears intacts at 100% success, but a service that retrieves only the card and destroyes the piece of equipment.

People back in the days complained about "omg someone is going to decard its deviling from the stupid muffler and putting it into a proxy omg omg OP gamebreaking!!11!!1!one!"

Seriously, people complained when wool scarf+ tidal shoes got introduced, because their lovely +10 mufflers and +10 boots were going obsolete. Or with diab Mant + Diab boots, relatives to wool+tidal combo.
In 2010 the cutting edge was Proxy, for garments. Today there isnt really a best garment, because Proxy is good (alone), diab mant is good (alone+combo), green babydoll is good (only in combo); tomorrow, who can say, maybe we will have better gears one day.

Another point of the complainers was: economy ruins.
This feared monster: the market collapsing, the inflation exploding!!

Market already suffered many injuries during the years, up to today: mi gaos, blank cards, slaves farming, BB's from GR's GWs...
People complained that nobody would have farmed those high end cards ever again because "they could simply decard and compound again them into the better gears!!!11!!one!!two!!"

Like they were only the ones who wanted miniboss/mvp cards: cmon, there were and there are many people who farm them because they still doesnt have those cards.

Like the economy now its still something: i think me alone im covering the 50% of the current economy, basically with my 40 vendors selling equips and cards, maybe even more than 50%, who knows.
Server population is low by quite some time, we all know.

...oh? What are you saying? Where are all those people who were complaining about stuff? Why, dont you dont see them?
Oh right, they quit.


Time has changed: now a Card Remover isnt "umbalancing" (even if maybe it wasnt in the past too, but there were ppl complaining about "other people who have old gears with powerful card being able to upgrade the gear in which they were compounded", basically a bunch of envy dudes from what emerges from the old thread.)


I want a card Remover npc, which offers its service under these clauses:
-Only the card is retrieved, the gear goes destroyed.
-Zeny cost of 100M zeny.
-100% success.



Pros:
-It will be a permanent zeny sink.
-Old gears will regain value instead of being trash paper (often) and see new scene on markets.

Cons:
-people not farming for cards anymore: Are you serious? First of all: people who? there arent people farming today maybe because there are NO people at first. Second thing, people who still doesnt have that card will farm for it. Who already has the card wont farm for it, mostly. So this point doesnt hold imo.
-economy ruined: as i said, by quite some time we dont have an "economy" anymore, As im basically the only one putting stuff on sell into the market. Im trying to holding the economy up and a card Remover will benefit the economy as the older stuff will see their value increase and return to be exchanged, sold, or used (resulting into a zeny sink). Its really hard to keep a value on things, even the more basic ones, because without a proper demand, those items could be priced low because no one asks for them, or be set very high because no one farms them so the supply generation is low or non-existant. So this point doesnt hold imo.
-any other cons? PS: cons who hold the point.



Im pro card-removal npc. Vote and motivate with a comment why you voted that.


TL;DR:
Modern times can substain the existence of a Card Removal npc so vote Yes.
