I call them Artisan Fest Tree Growers....
As of now, it is significantly time consuming to craft all items needed by BODs, fill those BODs, turn them in and rinse and repeat and many players are deterred from wanting to significantly "mass fill in" their large stacks of BODs by the very large time it takes to get that done.
So, what could greatly help players to fill in their BODs and, thus, contribute to reducing significantly the very large mass of BODs stocked up by players ?
A Crafting bench (could be a new Veteran Reward) that players could lock down in their Home which could hold unlimited quantities of Resources (as all locked down containers do in a House, so nothing new on this....) and which Bulk Order Deeds could "interact with" through an additional, new button given to BODs whereas the player holding the BOD could press while being close to this Crafting bench and, of course, having the crafting skill related to crafting the items that the BOD was to ask for as well as whatever tool that skill needs for crafting.
Upon pressing that "make it" button on the Bulk Order Deed, the mechanics would use the resources directly from the bench, without any need to drag them on the character's main backpack, AND, as the items asked by the BOD get crafted, they would automatically be filled onto the BOD untill it is all filled up.
Then, players could turn them in, fill Large BODs with them, whatever they feel more comfortable with.
This would significantly expedite the filling of BODs which, to my opinion, is too much time consuming as of now and their slowness deters many players from actually wanting to seriously tackle their large stocks of BODs and reduce them down significantly.
The aging population need more automation.
Gold sink idea.

#1 Throw away BODS
#2 Do Not collect a BOD when I turn in a BOD
#3 The FUN one is advance the Xmas Tree on you shard. Doing two Trees from zero to max did reduce my total BOD count a little and was FUN supporting BAJA Shard.
As for your suggestion before they changed how we filled BODs I had UOA macros set up for every small BOD Smith and Tailor, N and Ex 10/15/20. Haven't needed those in a long time with the NEW way to fill BODs and the make MAX on crafting tools.
Really ?
I have news for you, the Bulk Order Deeds content is comprised not only of Small Bulk Order Deeds but, also, of LARGE Bulk Order Deeds...
And these LARGE Bulk Order Deeds, can take up to SIX Small Bulk Order Deeds to combine them into 1 "Filled" Large Order Deed to turn in.... which will yield only 1 Bulk Order Deed in return...
That is, SEVEN Bulk Order Deeds turned in, with ONE only getting given by the NPC.
A NET LOSS of 6 Bulk Order Deeds from the total circulating....
To me, it looks like a "reduction" in the BODs circulating....
If the Developers wanted to seriously reduce the number of BODs in players' hands, all that they would need to do, to my opinion, is increase the drop rate for Large BODs, and most notably, of those asking for 5 or 6 Small BODs.... this way, and rather quickly, BODs in players' hands would "vaporize" when players were to exchange 7 BODs (1 Large containing 6 Smalls) and only get 1 back....
Even better, they could Design new Large BODs taking more then 6 Smalls, like 10, even 15 smalls....
Quickly enough, players turning 1 Large containing 15 Smalls and only getting 1 BOD in return, would deplete their stocks of BODs... of course, if these Larges taking 10, 15 Smalls, where to be common to get, and not a rare occurrance....
*LIKE!*
*LOVE*
If you really want to reduce the amount of bods a crafter has then allow us to turn in BODs and store the points, not this bank point system, but the total points and you do not get a BOD until you claim a reward. Example 10N cloth BOD is 10 points and I could turn in 70 of them for a Barbed Runic Sewing Kit (700 points) and only get 1 BOD back when I claim my reward, this would take 69 BODs out of the system. Bribing will still have its place for all the LBODS and BODs to fill them. Banking Point system does nothing to reduce the quantity of BODs being hoarded and I doubt very much that anybody uses that anyway.
--,
I also wonder if double clicking the BOD can show us the if rewards vs points, so we can recap what we can get for a BOD.
After stopping for 6 mths or a year i could not recall what BODs to the pof or clothing bless deed, which one can bribe to what level. Yeah we can recall to a vendor or check website but that is not efficient.

if you want to get rid of your collection,
then just don't accept a new one.
or put them on vendors.
it is so hard to get a collection going on Siege.
this would make it that much harder.
Are you also forgetting about the Artisan Festival?
It takes lots of BODs to put the star on top of the tree.
I did 2 TWO trees for the Artisan Festival on Baja and I still have a ton of BODs
Trying to give players incentives to getting rid of BIDs other than throwing them away.
3 BODs a day, if you remember to collect them.
I fill as many BODs as I can while skill training.
I turn in about 200-300 BODs at a time.
On Siege, if I did that, then I wouldn't have any BODs at all.
And it takes long time to get that many again.
forget about helping with the Artisan Festival then.
on Sonoma I fill lots of BODs for the Artisan Festival.
I was able to get rid of about 6K of BODs
(Large BODs take lot of those,
not to mention the ones that my characters dropped on the elf)
on production shards you can get 21 bods a day.
========
And about hoarding BODs...
this is something I would never stop doing.
A crafter was the very first character I did in this game.
And I fill bods when I work up the skills,
not just during Artisan Festival time.
And who do you think suggested the stained glass windows
and the foldable blankets (wanted blankets for Large beds though lol)?
which was also suggested to reduced peoples hoarding.
(I'm just glad I didn't suggest two more items,
I wouldn't know where to put those lol)
==========
An incentive to stop hoarding BODs.
let us throw unfilled BODs in the trash for 10 cleanup pts
or give us a "insert skill name" apprentice
that we can drop the BOD on.
the apprentice switches the BOD to a different one.
(example: drop cookie mix BOD, get a dough BOD back
or nexus core BOD, get a Lesser Cure BOD)
Nobody say you have to use any incentives what so ever but the more we can come up with the better it would be for Crafters esp the new people starting out to get to get rewards that others will buy like PoF or runics or CBDs
Whenever I do crafting I have to game client windows, excel sheet, website reference.
Feels like another day job man... I thought I will be retiring soon and playing uo 24/7, but this multi window screen is like a my current job except I am paying to do it and not getting paid.
