I was just thinking about the Donation Room... Half the time I walk in there it's like completely empty... the other half the time it's full. And I know it just depends on how much good will players want to give or not give, but think those greedy people that work in the Donation Pit take too much profit for themselves.
So I'm pretty much saying... why don't we get rid of the jerks that clean out the donation pit to actually save gear for the ones that need it instead of running on no gear in the donation pit. But, you are saying we've already tried that and people lag out and can't go into the pit.
The work around to that problem is this. Let people go about normally donating items to the donation room, but once it reaches its set capacity that won't affect people getting lagged out, and not being able to log back in. They just get a message of We can not accept your donations at this time, please allow some time for our reserves to be put to use.
