Drag & Drop Trashcan Desperately Needed

Ok, the amount of vendor trash coming out of the T6 rep grind is absolutely ridiculous. There isn't a garbage scow in the quadrant big enough to haul this TRIBBLE. This stuff is completely worthless and the fact that you get one every single time for the hourly and daily tasks is just baffling. If you do the hourly 3 times a day plus the daily, that's 48 items per day straight to the junk bin.
Why not just get rid of these drops altogether and just waive the ec requirement, since they almost cancel each other out?
We have a drag-and-drop bank and inventory, why not a trash bin at least?

The only rep box that is truly a net loss is the Competative Box, as those consumables are ONLY usable in PvP, and are worth 0 ECs. Yea they give you 10k ECs back... but still... that is a 5k net loss on investment. The others... a piece of space gear can actually go for up to 18k at a vendor, vs the 15k you have to spend on it. So rather than losing ECs, you actually gain 3k. Pocket change sure... but its better than nothing.
Also... there is that chance of getting the Elite Mark, IE Borg Neural Processor. So getting rid of the drops altogether means removing that as well.
^^ 100 Agreed!
I'm developing serious RSI, having to right-click, select 'Discard', and do so every day for all Rep trash (as if all the clicks for filling the Rep itself aren't bad enough).
And we desperately need a 'Fill All' button on the Rep Projects too (for when you manually slotted the Project).
For quick selling, once you are on the sell screen it's not bad. (once all your good stuff has been put on Protected status)
My issue is the stacks of stuff that require an extra click on the Sell How Many? box.
So, I open them all and sell the rest.
Bartender in the Fleet Starbase and the Vendor on First City and Ganalda is easy to find.
“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” -- Benjamin Franklin
Or, for greater profit, every single starbase has a bartender, and ESD has the only one that moves around. Hadron at DS9 and the second bartender at Drozana just stand there, making them easy vendors to use.
And as Rattler points out, not everyone has been scrambling to outfit themselves with Mk XV Golds in every single slot. Sometimes those drops are useful to other people.
A drag and drop trashcan with an incinerate button is still a much better and obvious solution. No need to go searching for vendors to dispose of space garbage.
Some people may use that stuff but so what - why would that mean there shouldn't be a quick and easy way to dispose of it for players that don't need 48 junk items per day jamming up their inventory? No player is going to use all of those items, nearly 50 per day, on just one toon. Why not just cut the cost down and make those who want them actually make use of the rep stores to buy the ones they need, rather than dumping the entire scrapyard onto all players?
Maybe because they don't have the dilithium to spare at all? And not everyone is trying to push everything through as fast as possible. Some of us are just slotting the daily and leaving it at that, which is a FRACTION of the amount you're getting. Hell... some might be choosing to only work on one or two right now to see if its even worth the effort before committing more resources to them.
Brushing off everyone else and basically saying "Let them pay Dilithium, scrap it because I don't like it while I'm jamming through everything I can every chance I get so I get a ton of vendor trash I don't want to deal with" is kinda crass.
Nor is brushing off his valid point any good: he's still right, saying 'players don't need 48 junk items per day jamming up their inventory.' They really don't. Not even new players. It just means a huge amount of pointless, extra mouse-clicking, every day, for all your Reps, on all your toons.
Not really. CtrL + Left-click (or even Shift + Down, as those items will appear all last in your inventory), to select multiple individual items, and then being able to delete them in one fell swoop (even with just the Delete key, like in any normal UI), would be the best solution.
So get rid of the dilithium costs in the rep store for purple gear for anyone that wants it. The amount of people using the random gear (which likely isn't many) is dwarfed by the amount of people annoyed by constantly having to open a dozen or more boxes a day and delete the contents.
Yes, rep gear should only take rep marks. I'm tired of Dil being needed for everything.
Huh. Learn something new every day.
And only been playing for 5-6 years.
(me, I've been using the Replicator->Recycle. And only 12-14 items per day, depending on competitive box. Only reason I've ever done the Hourly project is because I was specifically farming the drop item for a piece of gear I wanted. That project gives terrible rep.)
The Replicator->Recycle route feels horrible to me. Since the Recycler is sorted, and pulls from everywhere, finding the items to trash, inside that sea of offerings, is a task far more tedious than just deleting them from inventory directly.
P.S. Problem is, you can't just trash the reward boxes immediately. Well, you can, but you kinda need to open them all first, as they may contain Elite Marks. Hence, the stuff they yield when opened, is almost impossible to find inside the Recycler.
Aren't you a Lifer too? My boffs just get their (high-quality) EV suits from the guy at ESD, where you can endlessly claim EV Faction suits.
And Azrael is right. Those weapon drops are great for rainbow builds. Or just getting something in the flavor you want to build in. Or even building a rainbow in one particular flavor.
None of which detracts one iota from the need to be able to delete these items in a better way (for those of us who don't need all that trash).
That way those who couldn't care less about small EC loss or actual items you can get from the box, can tick it and save their hands from carpal tunnel. And those who for some reason want that gear can still have the exact same way of obtaining it.

I like Tunebreaker's suggestion of an opt-out box to tick if you don't want the rep boxes.
The problem is, that these boxes (on rare occasions) may contain an Elite Mark. So, you kinda have to open them all first. Still, I would forego on collecting these boxes if I could auto-discard them in total, as you suggest.
None of these boxes ever have marks in them, I don't know what you're talking about "elite marks". Seems like about 1 in 20 or 1 in 30 have a neural processor or equivalent. But you have to open so many to get one, I'd rather opt out altogether and just earn them through playing actual game content!!!
Better that than just tossing away vendor trash.
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
