Or would you trash your inventory so we have less items ? I think not.
How else would you go about reducing their amount ?

Not by brute force ofc.
ot a couple of semi-ideas
With events maybe.
Weekly small lottery that would go like this.
Win a hunter force by sending 2 items over tier 3 to the acc xyz for 1 ticket
Win a no qi void timer by sending items that cummulated have a shop value of a void timer tc to the acc xyz for 1 ticket (people would buy the -80% items off market to send them there)
Also the
scrap sounds like a fun story that could be a good thing. I know that the first thought is that it will put more and more tc in the economy.
My first impression is that it would return 10-20% of the items shop value or a value based on popularity
For example:
Cobra blood is 6000. 396 items and 25 in circulation
Market price is 2500
Scrap for 10% - 600
Scrap for 20% - 1200
Dragon relax is 10k. 357 items 17 in circulation
Market price is 1450
Scrap 10% is 1000
scrap 20% is 2000
What do you think about it? Will it return to much tc? Is it a worthwile long term solution? Maybe it could be.
Or the option to buy an item from shop for the x4 price payed in items at shop value. Some good deals are to be made here ofc and people will profit from this but FOR a SHORT time. After the first few weeks it will balance itse;f outprobably

Most items are from 100 to 400 total items in the toriworld
These items have bean recirculated betwen players and now practically nobody buys them from the shop. Everybody uses the market.
For example Persian relax:
138 items exist. Many items are lost in banned, forgotten, dumped acc over time and will not resurface ever. Taking a guess here and would say over 50%
15 are cheaper then the shop in market so these 15 persian relaxes will all have to be sold before somebody uses the shop to buy one( this w/o reselling them). These 15 persian relaxes will take 2 to 3 years to be lost as things are now.
Yet another sol;ution would be to involve the toribot in marketing.
This would be an automated acc that that starts marketing with 10k tc
With some relaxed laws (like lower item price every 5 days, running a market check every 20 min and buying everything that is under the set value from the code)
If it's not stupidly annoying and normal players can run their buissness in the market and not be to bothered by the robot it might work.
In 1 - 2 years this should own 20-30% of the items in circulation and a nice ammount of tc (10kk or so)
