It's hard to come up with something for them to be useful with. Perhaps can do something with some NPC on the lobby with them, like 10+ of them can turn into 1 of some kind of currency, which you can eventually use to buy a special roll or something from them?
Maybe instead of trashing to get a currency, you could redo the whole key system where you would permanently deposit items into a bin, depending upon the tier. After a certain amount of items, it would give you a crate that drops a random weapon of the next tier, or a suffixed weapon of the current/next tier. The algorithm for it could look something like:
Number of items needed =
((Tier^3)/3) + 10 (round up final answer if decimal)
Suffixed of current tier (55%)
Item of next tier (35%)
Suffixed of next tier (10%)
It would take forever for the higher tiers, but would solve the extra item problem, and give the gamblers of the server a certain chance to set least get something.
