Currently material exchange has decay limit;
"NOTE: Materials that have not been sold out of the exchange in over 60 days
will be removed."

Random conversations with random merchants have told me deepest lore behind of
that would be that people were using it was as free material storage. I can
understand that batmud administration does want to offer free lunches to
players but current system does not really encourage using it for trading, and
currently it is mostly used sporadically with opportunist ripoff pricing.

Not to forget extra con of most material orders requiring those anal player to
player interactions.

One solution to solve issue without giving free storage would be to offer
option to buy storage slots with exp/gold/masteryforges/wutnot, little like
runemages work currently with their rune slots, and let the invisible hand of
adam smith reign supreme


pros: happy merchants cons: happy merchants
happy customers less anal
