Since at least the hotfix, maybe the big update, discarding orange weapons no longer refunds anything but ordo dockets. Was this a deliberate change? While it may not hurt those of us with post-scarcity levels of currency, it is not a player friendly decision at all (and yet another unlisted change, to my knowledge). It also removes the ability to convert melk bucks to useful resources. I used the refund and melk conversion quite a bit when I was leveling up, mastering items, and completing builds. Now new players are not afforded these options. This just seems like a needless change (and hopefully a bug). ---

I’m going to complain about this while we are at it ![Darktide_YsANrU2oAx](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/fatshark/original/3X/a/0/a046e469395c8e9baf4a83c800dccf6da0bbcc99.png) I will probably never fix this bottleneck why do we even have 2 separate currencies if they serve more or less the same purpose? ---

Yeah, the diamantine refunds were the biggest boons of this system when I was new. Really sucks. It doesn’t help that vets often outright skip resources on top of new players not learning to loot. ---

Hmm, the curio only giving docket was always the case to my knowledge. I suppose it could be a visual bug not showing the other currencies when I sell. I’ll be sure to closely test tonight. ---

Ok, can confirm its a visual bug. Tested on Arbites, Ogryn, and Vet with melee and ranged melk aquisitions and a hadron forged. I only see the ordos notification but other currencies do increase. ---

I have way too much money. I think rejects should be paying taxes, and for food and board. Protein gruel and space in an air-duct next to a plasma reactor doesn’t come free, you know. ---

It did seem pretty small in these tests, but I don’t have any old amounts to say for sure. I feel like it used to be ~100-200 diamantine since that’s what I paid most attention to back then. ---

That’s my impression as well, but I don’t have a before and after record to check for sure. ---
