Remove all bless deeds from vendors. Make them all rewards.

Okay - I feel like this would be a good idea.
CBDs are purchasable through the donation vendor for 1k dono. They are also a reward for BODs.
The price of Dono DIRECTLY influences the price of CBDs, and indirectly affects the price of CBD BODs.
Making the CBDs used to be a very profitable BOD - however now they are now less profitable and the market is less stable with them.
I suggest that all* blessing deeds - jewelry, clothing, etc be removed from any kind of sink vendor - dono, gold, platinum, and all be made a reward of some crafting skill.
This makes the crafting skill more valuable and creates a REAL market for the bless deeds.


* I feel the exception to this rule should be spellbook bless deeds. Not that many unblessed spellbooks are around. Kind of pointless to have it as a reward.


Comments and critiques?

No flames please. Constructive responses please!

I think the CBD portion of your suggestion has already been answered previously here: http://uoforum.com/threads/remove-donation-items-that-are-already-in-game-rewards.50191/

Thanks for the link. I read the post, and I see the point.
However, I still think that other items should be considered adding as a crafting reward for the same reason that CBDs are both a sink and a reward - it adds an alternative way to obtain one. Still, jewelry deeds are not often used like CBDs are, but removing them from the vendor and adding them to a rewards table would boost their value. I'm not sure though, if that would be practical, as there aren't very many items to use them on. Recent expansions have added new wearable jewelry though, so this is a potential option of more of these items drop.

The BOD collector in me says yes!

The Trammy bank sitter in me says no!

if they upped the chance of high tier bods so cbd from bods were more common I think I would be behind this. But without that, there will not be enough cbds on the market to support peoples clothing fetishes.

I agree completely. I also read that in the post that halygon posted. Those BODs would have to be GREATLY increased to fill even half the demand of blessed clothing. It might skyrocket the price so high that CBDs were worth too much even.
