I know this is not a new idea but I feel strongly that it should be implemented. People should be allowed to gift mith and gold to others. This will improve the social aspect of the game. To reduce misuse by double accounts, gift givers will suffer a large tax on the amount they wish to give.
If you add, say a 90% tax on any gift, then it would be very hard to misuse. Only two people who have known each other for a while would gift each other substantially. Also, you won't be able to gift more than 100 billion (meaning the receiver would only get 10 billion)
In addition, a person should only be able to give a maximum of one gift per day. He also should not be able to gift the same person multiple times in a row. This will help the lower level accounts deal with the massive inflation in KAW.
In addition, people can not receive more than two gifts a day. Misuse will be hard for two reasons now. 1. The giver only can give a maximum of 100 bill knowing that only 10 billion of it will go to the receiver. 10 bill is not enough to propel an account to a high level. Also, even for strong accounts, 100 bill is not usually a small amount. 2. It would take forever for a person to accumulate real wealth only by receiving gifts. The majority of players do not have enough high level friends that could give them 10 bill every day. Since a person can only receive a max of 20 bill a day from two different gifters, it is hard to gain cash quickly.
Pimd allows you to gift items. And no, I do not play PimD. I. Tried. It once to see if the stories were true.
One bad side (the worst, at least, since youve covered others alr) is that wc will be with this: Ads asking for hires asking for gifts
Hmmm, that's a fair concern. But if we can constantly deal with the other WC spam, why can't we deal with this spam. At the moment, people spam WC at time asking for RP. In my opinion, that is far worse.
"PLEEEAZ GIVEME GOLD I NEEDSTO MAKE A CLAN PLIUZ"~Random Wc Noob If that is what you want wc to look like sure, but I sure as hell don't.
Admin can make a few examples if that is your biggest issue. They can silence a few people but I really don't see how that is worse than asking for RP (which won't get you banned) or asking for people to give you cash by buying your allies.
Gold is easy to make. New players can grow just fine. I see accounts that within a few day are low land complete. How much help do new players need?
Writing "RP" or "RP anyone?" Or "I am bored and looking for a guy/girl to chat with" will not get you banned. World chat has at least 200 such messages every day.
@Epic, the idea is to improve the social aspect of the game. Since no one can receive more 20 billion in a given day ( assuming they have two DIFFERENT high level friend that each throw away 100 billion) this will help mainly those that have low stats. It makes it more useful to form friendships in the game.
A major bonus is that clan owners can reward good behavior or good recruiting buy instating a system of gift giving for their members. In addition, some clan owners could collect a tax of some sorts from members (just giving options here)
So how do I know the devs will make this idea a reality? Will they post here to let me know? I believe I have addressed all the problems.
