Sell Lockboxes to Vendors or Replicators

navar

Has there ever been any talk of this? It gets really annoying to have something in my inventory that I absolutely do not use and the only way to clear it out is to manually remove it from my inventory. Would be nice if I could just sell the things. Lockboxes and I don't get along...I hate those things, I hate that they even drop at all. Every time one falls in my inventory I am insulted. It just rubs salt in the wound when I can't even sell them to a vendor.

Anyway, anything ever been brought up about this before? If so, what came out of that?

Because I come from a time before that money sink and scam was invented. I come from a time when 15 bucks a month got you everything you needed in MMO's and Lockboxes did nothing but commercialize the Online gaming industry and legally rob the customers with what in my opinion should be illegal gambling. However, this is beside the point. I just want to know if there has ever been any talk of selling the damn things.

Unless I can afford to get a key via using EC, any lockboxes I get through missions etc, are usually deleted. I do wish cryptic would not keep spamming us with them, and that we got good useful drops instead.

Neverwinter allows you to sell lockboxes to a vendor, for like 15 copper in return if I remember correctly. If they did eventually price the lockboxes in STO, it would probably be worth 15-20 ECs, but at least they'd be worth something to a vendor.

As someone else mentioned, you can sell them on the Exchange, and I've noticed that some of the older lock boxes actually get a bit of a nice return.

I just don't pick up items.

Sold a stack of Cardie Boxes for 1m a few weeks ago.

Throw them on the exchange or your into your fleet bank.
You could also stockpile them for future selling on a mule alt.
(which is what I do)

I just wait until I get a full stack of 20, then drop them. Lol

Since there is a way to purchase them in-game (Dilithium store), it actually DOES make sense to be able to sell them.

Even if it's little more than what a Small Hypo sells for, it'd still be more beneficial than having stacks of items that can't even be sold for 0 ec...

Think of lockboxes as commercials on TV, you might not like them, but they are a necessary evil to fund the game.


The lockboxes I never plan to open, I mail them to people on my ignore list.

Make an alt mule for bank space. Delete when bank space gets full.
