This might make for more player interaction with the high valued items. Although, there is alot of high priced items that are of no use, like the gold rings, diamonds.
They might offer RP value and such. But since sometimes regarding the "low value" high priced items they are better off being sold to the NPC merchants, there might be ideas to make them valuable to certain merchants and less valuable to others.
I imagine there is someone in port that is eager to get gems and gold and silver... a jeweller perhaps? And he might pay more for those things?
But that's just an idea.
Any one agree with me on this?
Anyways. It's a good thing I think to reduce a farmable resource, but like someone posted in some thread regardin items, even without META people always find out how to get the most for the least work. And that's just a fact
