Suggestion Vault idea

[Roth Likonis]

Hello! I had an idea for the Vault, which a few others thought had a little bit of merit. So I thought I'd pitch it here - do with it what you will .

Basically the Vault acts as a place where you can sell limited items, etc, mainly by setting a desired price, the number to sell, and then advertising. The idea I had was to create a function where a person could actually "burn" UC in their possession to create an item with intrinsic value; the item could then be transferred or bought, with the understanding that the item had an intrinsic value equal to the number of UC sunk into creating it. Items with intrinsic value would even show up in your UC ledger, but can't be used/removed without transferring the associated item.

This would give some heft to non-combat items such as art, foodstuffs, and other luxury goods which are a little under RPed and represented on the site (rare paintings, statues, and other fluff items anyone?).

Just a thought!

Unique items made on marketplace already have this desired effect you want, the only thing missing is people offering up UCs which come down to individual choice on the Marketplace. Although I have seen transactions on marketplace using UCs, with this post giving me the inspiration to make a purchase using 45,000 of my UCs just now. The only issue I may see with using the vault for this purpose is creating unnecessary bloat to the systems already in place with Factory, Codex, Marketplace.

You should definitely try it using the current methods available (Factory/Codex) and offer them up on Marketplace for UCs and see what fish bite. It could be the start of something really cool.

I also like the concept, but, I must agree with Hacks for the time being. It's great to see suggestions for UC Cred so keep them coming! You never know what will take off and stick.
