I'm a huge fan of item recycling/trading up in web3 games.
It's exciting to roll for a higher quality item. It's also an effective way to encourage NFT burning when gamers own duplicates.

1/ I am aswell! Definitely a great way to burn some NFTs aswell!

Producing content with no purpose won’t work out.
