That would suck.
BUT....

Those items would see more use. Therefore MA receives the benefit of increased decay $$ on the item, the economy is boosted by the ammo purchases and more players can experience the item first-hand to determine if it is right for them. I still believe that a leasing system adds to the overall reality of the RCE rather than detracts from it.

How many items right now never even see the light of day because they are in storage?
