"Dump and Landfill" (Discussion)

An area full of trash where anyone can pick up trashed loot. For example, if Player A is in a city and he decides that his bow is now useless, he trashes it. Now Player B, happens to be standings in the dump, he then sees Player A's bow and he can pick it up and use it, altough it might not be as good of a bow anymore.

Why this is a good idea
  •   Adds realism to the game.
  •   Allows new players to gain decent but not over powered loot.
  •   Trash from different cities could take different time to reach the landfill, depending on PvE setting (such as if a bridge is broken or not).
Why it may not work out
  •   New players gain access to powerful weapons too fast.
  •   Could be exploited by 3rd parties to pass items between accounts.
  •   Loot 'ninjas' running around picking up everything and selling it, leaving no items for other players. (suggestion- limit on how many Items you can pick up per hour)(another suggestion- puting a tag on the wepon description that says something like "removed from land fill". wepons with this tag could not be sold to players or the trader.
  • landfill would be filled to the brim with starter wepons/armor.
