People more or less agreed that the new taxi missions were more entertaining than standing in one spot in a mine or browsing the gmap day after day for trash. It just didn't pay out well enough. Shrimps did it for like 2-3 hours one day and made less than 10k, so after that everyone said it was stupid and wouldn't do it. The original hope was to make more similar systems with lower payout where players would choose to make slightly less money but have some form of actual entertaining challenge doing it (rather than just going out and making all the current methods suck).

As for there being unlimited ammo already out - I don't really think that's a problem. The problem now is that everyone uses unlimited ammo. It means nobody is buying ammo, and that PKing is incredibly lame (because everyone can just spam bullets without thinking about it). There's no real better way to get rid of them than to not let more into the game. We can't delete the stocks that the stores already have; they had to pay employees to stock them. And we'd just be creating new money if we paid them a "refund" or something. And there's no way we can take them away from all the players without offering some kind of refund. Plus that would only hit online players if we did - someone could wait offline until we stopped taking them away and made it into a prize item, then he'd log on with 200 of them.

I'd also assume most of the people who saved up boxes will be using them and not selling them. I don't really have a problem with a few of them being sold for outrageous prices; that's just supply and demand working things out. We aren't putting any new ones into circulation for a while.
