So, GW still insists on dropping white 7-13 damage (Req 6) weapons when you kill level 28 monsters.

No self-respecting level 6 guy, fresh off the starter islands, will want them. But NPCs don't care, and there's a war out there!

Instead of selling those stuff for pocket change, we should be able to donate them to the locals for faction points!

Luxon, Kurzick, Norn, Ebon Vanguard, Asura and Deldrimor could use all the lousy weapons we find.

How about a new title instead, and it'd have to be as hard as drunkard to get, since I get those lousy weapons all the time.

Interesting. Sounds like a good idea. It would hurt the AB population though.

May I expand on the idea? I like it and I have an idea to add.

If you were able to redeem weapons for faction, you'd lack the space to make it worth it. Obviously they wouldn't give a decent amount of faction for 4-10 items. I don't know about you guys, but with all the greens and armor on my main character, I am limited to half of my main bag. Of those slots, golds and rune armors fill it up pretty quickly.

It would help to have an item that you could take from an NPC that would allow you to drop unwanted weapons on to. Then you would of course lose the item and its statistics info, but you'd gain another number on your stack. I think the pile would be customized to stop farming / selling.

Interesting, that thing whoop shotty suggests sounds like a douffle bag, you can put the weapons in.
Maybe you aught to get the choice weather to donate the weapons for faction to a specific faction or vend them to a neutral party for a title.
I'd like the title to be trader or merchant, that sounds better than logistics officer.

/signed but limit the numbers so its not easily abused. say 2pts per crappy weapon. this makes it crappy weapons worth (at least to me) worth slightly more than the 20g you would get otherwise.

Nice to see an original idea in amongst all the extra storage/auction house/hairstylist posts.

/signed for Luxon/Kurzick title track points. I don't think it's really needed for the EotN bounties.

2 points would be extra fricken crappy. Get a stack of 250 and then you have 500 luxon or kurzick. Collecting 250 items and redeeming for so little is pointless

How about 1 point for every 2gp it's worth from a store.

For example, the merchant will buy it for 56 gold, you would be able to exchange it for 28 faction.

Not what I was expecting, but I like this idea! Definitely beats merching all that crap for ~30g by a mile, and anything that can ease the pain of point/faction farming is all right by me.

Nice idea (doing it too in ascalon once a week), but not realistic, unless we have a tradehouse.

On the other hand, i prefer people getting nicer items whilst getting through the game. Have a little faith in the gamedrops imo.

Well no, but using white items to get point for title. I would because it will save my time. Exchange useless stuffs for something permanent on your character which cost your time. I would. Dont know but it sounds kinda weird. It lacks the meaning of title itself. Title = archievment not how much money do you get. That's why Anet forbid people buying ranked accounts on Ebay. For this case, buying money on Ebay then buy white items and exchange it for title. No it's dump! lol

Wow, did not expect so many people to /sign this.

I assume that Heroes' free weapons, and weapons from Weaponsmiths and Collector's can't be donated, nor any Customised weapons.

Its not just Whites. If you want to donate your r9 Elemental Sword, go for it!!

Doesn't seem practical at first glance to me. I'll take my pocket change over faction.
