Please try to comprehend the problem before posting. You can reprocess them already, but like all T2 and Faction items the amount of minerals recovered is trivial compared to the value of the item. This is working as intended. Reducing the return when damaged is just going to make the problem worse. The problem is that unlike other T2 and Faction items, there is no practical route to market for damaged crystals and they are too valuable to (effectively) throw away. Thus they are just horded for the day they might be useful.
The value of the item is set by the dynamic market in EVE. Welcome to the world of Tech2. This issue (notice I didn't say 'problem') has been around since the first Tech2 items were introduced.
Thank you.

Yes, I'm quite happy with that, that isn't the 'issue' I'm complaining about. The 'problem' is the unwieldly inventory once you have collected a load of them, to the extreme that the game errors with inventory full messages. Coupled with the inability to put a serviceable, valuable item on the market.
The problem (not issue) of your "unwieldy inventory" is a direct result of you failing to reprocess (or trash, although I don't recommend this) the crystals. Not DIRECTLY from them being damaged and unstackable.
I also disagree that putting broken items on the market is a serviceable or valuable item. I would not like it if I was buying broken crystals. Nor do I want to have to sift through and either show info or hover over each and every single item in the market to see if it is damaged or not, and then figure out how much damage it had. Imagine the server load for THAT! No. Seriously. I want you to think about the server load that it would cause to allow this. I'll bet this is the EXACT reason why BPCs are not allowed on the market.
Make a contract for them. And make sure you put in an appropriate description, and gauge how well those items sell. Post your truthful data in this forum. And if it is a favorable outcome, then you'll have something to go to the board with your idea.
Spewing "serverload raaaaaaah!" is probably not very constructive.
But, wouldn't it just be easier to reprocess them? Yes. Yes it would.
Thank you.

Um? You sound mad bro? But you don't seem to have thought through what you are arguing against - you have just agreed with me. Yes! Unmanageable, hence the simplified solution I have posted. Please +1 the OP if you agree.
No I didn't agree with you and even if it seemed that I did I am declaring now that I do not agree with you. Hence I did not +1 your post.
I simply used the server load issues that you pointed out as a reason in my own opinion. That does not mean I agree with you about anything on any level. I will once again state for the record that I am exactly 0.0% agreeing with this idea you have posted.
Nice touch with the attempted trolling "u mad bro", though.
You already have a simplified solution to the problem you have gotten yourself into. Two in fact.
Keep track of your crystals and use the damaged ones first.
Reprocess or even trash the offending ammo.

Easier? Yes and absolutely moronic at the same time. Who in their right mind is going to reprocess a 1% damaged Dark Blood crystal worth millions into minerals worth a couple of thousand?
Who in their right mind would continue to not use the damaged crystals first? Do you open a new gallon of milk for every glass you pour? Open new peanut butter or jam without first using what is in the original jar? Do you just have stacks upon stacks of half eaten loaves of bread and half empty bags of chips around the house? Do you take one swig of a can of soda and then open another one?
You need to Go Green, my friend.
Go Green I say! Use up those crystals! Or recycle. Do it for the children!
Thank you. |

This again?
Just knock it off. Bring the damaged crystals with you into combat so they get destroyed. Not doing so is your ChoiceGäó.
Creating a new thread weeks later is poor campaigning.
Stop trying to get mechanics changed for your laziness.
Thank you.
