Sell button mechanics

[simonkid 9]

One main reason why the game does not have a sell button is because all players would constantly sell all their items to get the "best combo" (normally players would call this rail+hornet) but if the sell button was thought about well enough then it could be done:

 

Selling:

 

Selling would be simple, a fourth button would be squeezed in bettween the, "Buy M? For ? Crystals" (on turret/hulls) and the, "Upgrades" button called, "Selling quote" what it would do is tally up how long you have had the item, how much you use it what upgrade it is, how many times you have upgraded it and everyother statistic you can think of, then come up with an amount of crystals and ask you if you really want to sell it. For example, if you have had smoky since the 2012 rebalence, upgraded it to M1 then M2, micro-upgraded it to 47% of all micro-upgrades and have been using it 45% of the time, it would quote you about 300 000+ crystals. This would be a high amount because you have owned it for 3+ years, used it a lot and invested a lot into it. So basically you would always end up with about the amount you payed for it in total, plus extra if you used it well, on the other hand, If you scabbed off M2 rail gun at a 50% discount 3 months ago, used it 6 times since and never micro upgraded it you would get about 50 000- crystals for it, when it should be worth about 110 000€ ("€" is my crystal sign) this would work for paints too.

 

The problem of... Scalping.

 

Scalping is buying items, using them for a week, then selling them for more than they are worth. To combat this issue you have, "Selling cool downs" what this is, is a system that, depending on the amount you sold something for, will not let you re-buy it until an amount of time has past (counted in weeks) for example, if you bought hammer M2, used it constantly for a week, and managed to sell it for more than it is worth, (you couldn't do it unless you were on 24/7) you could not rebuy it for 2 weeks. Although there is still the problem, it is delayed. Another system would, if you re-bought an item within the week you could buy it again, sold it a week later for more, then repeated buying it in the same week you could rebuy it, the item would, "corrupt" it's self and you could not rebuy it, or do anything too it, it would have a big red flag on it saying, "CORRUPTED". And a moderator would have to come and sort out what you were doing.
