Exchange Restrictions - Will help clean up Exchange

One thing I noticed in the game is that the Exchange is loaded full of items for 1 energy credit. There are also many other items posted at or below the item's vendor value, which is 50% of the "Value" marked on the item. This is actually nice for me as I buy the undervalued items and sell them to an NPC.

The problem is that these items clutter the AH so much, that in many casses you can't find other items other than the generic "white" items that are posted under vendor/NPC sell value.

A script should be made so that when people post items on the Exchange, they must be posted at a sell value greater than 50% of the item's marked value. Otherwise, these items should be put in a replicator or sold to a vendor around the station. If you don't want to restrict this, then make it so that if they do post an item at below the vendor price, just immediately mark it as sold, trash the item, and give them the lesser value they asked for. This will help clean up the Exchange, remove trash items from the game, and will help minimize your databases that much more.


Also, there are certain items that are starfleet or klingon only. For example, many bridge officers. If I'm a klingon, I should not see bridge officers that are not useable. Same goes for any other items such as if you are federation, you shouldn't be able to see fighters for carriers.

If you want to control the game economy, you can also put maximum limits on the posting value on Exchange items. For example, maie it so that nothing can be posted at more than 400% its marked value. This will help clean up junk that is posted at 10,000,000 energy credits. This will also make it harder for "gold farmers" to transfer credits cross faction.


Finally, there should be options or check boxes to search for items based on specefic stats. For example searching for bridge officers, I should be able to search for ones containing a specefic skill.

    I'd "love" this one to get implemented.

    It'd be nice if you couldn't put up on the exchange standard issue equipment as well.
