Recycling Station

[ElKlausWtf]

It would be great if a station existed within the orbiter whose function is to "shred" (delete) weapons that we do not want and that returns a percentage of the materials that were used for its creation.
Currently the only way to get rid of weapons that we do not use because they were crafted solely to gain affinity or because they have their Prime version, is by selling them for credits in the Inventory. This system would be of great help for new players who want to get rid of weapons from their arsenal due to lack of slots or because they don't use them, and in this way they can get back part of the materials they needed to craft the weapon, since For this part of the players it is more difficult to obtain rare materials such as Orokin Cells, Tellurium, Argon Crystals, etc.
Another benefit that this "Recycling Station" can provide is that, if we have a standard version weapon configured with several forms when its Prime version comes out, it will remain in the inventory accumulating dust for "pain" to sell it for a few credits, having invested several forms. But with this new function when deleting the weapon through the station, we can recover a part of the forms used, in addition to their materials.

Rare materials and Forma can be bought with plat. Incase you forget DE main source of income is platinum purchase and occasionally prime bundle.

I remember Meg once said that Forma is their casual bread & butter a.k.a more player bought it because they didn't think it's costly. And some whale will buy rare material with plat rather than farm/grind for it.

Your suggestion is good for player but on DE bussiness side they won't implemented it.

What you propose is logical, since it is a F2P game, the microtransactions as forms or the bundles is the way it survives. However, it would be nice to be evaluated for other functions as well. Perhaps it does not return forms but materials or others. Knowing that crafting in Warframe is super complete and extensive, it's not a bad idea to implement a mechanism similar to this.

I would like this but sadly like said before Forma is source of money.

This is why I usually don't forma weapons that aren't their "final" variant like Prime, Tenet or Kuva. (Tenet & Kuva requires 5 forma to get true max level anyway).

Materials don't really bother me because I have plenty and you start to accumulate a lot them when playing anyway. Argon shards can be pain because you never have them when you need them but they usually drop pretty easily.

Me gustaría esto, pero lamentablemente, como dije antes, Forma es una fuente de dinero.

Es por eso que normalmente no formo armas que no sean su variante "final" como Prime, Tenet o Kuva. (Tenet & Kuva requiere 5 formas para obtener el verdadero nivel máximo de todos modos).

Los materiales realmente no me molestan porque tengo muchos y de todos modos empiezas a acumularlos mucho cuando juegas. Los fragmentos de argón pueden ser dolorosos porque nunca los tienes cuando los necesitas, pero generalmente caen con bastante facilidad.

Sure, it's understandable. Although I repeat what I commented at the beginning of the thread, recovering a part of the materials used to craft the weapon can help a lot for new players who lack resources. Not so for players who have been in the game for a long time and enjoy an abundant amount of the rarest resources, myself included.

It isn't always the case that a prime will be that good compared to the standard, and by the time you do get the Prime, you should already have a handful of forma in stock

true but I still stand by my principle. I never buy forma with plat and have them cooking everyday but I don't waste them neither.

I don't usually even get excited for new weapons anyway so I usually master them and just sell them away because usually new guns are just too similar to current weapons and are weaker anyway.
