Hello forums! Cas here again with another idea for you to not support. First off, first time doing bbcodes in a thread. The KaW Auction I've seen this suggested many, many times, with varying degrees of failure. "Let's trade equips, let's trade bronze bars, blah blah blah". These all failed because of alt trading. In fact, even my idea will be open to that particular downfall. But my revision, I feel, is far better. Instead of trading off old equips, why not some rare pots, (currently the only example available is the Quetzal Skull) or banner materials/scrolls? An actual auction as well, with a 24 hour window to bid. Alt farming will be severely cut down when someone can outbid you for the object of your choice. So, forumers and petty trolls, what do you think?
The 24 hour window is clever. Bravo. However, alts will always have the ability to outbid newcomers to the game as alts have access to gold from their mains via otherwise uncommercial ally volleys. At the very least, the existence of alts means the prices will be artificially higher than they would otherwise.
The easiest way to have auction or equipment trading is to put a requirement to open the "auction house" "X amount of lands" required. That wY you can't just load a new alt with crystals or whatever the hell else you are selling.
A possible use of a castle level 4 upgrade. Excellent idea. @statless alt Unless you post with a main, I doubt your input is counted.
With the scrolls and banner materials added, this auction idea is almost entirely necessary. I myself only plan on having monarch banner, and currently have useless ring scrolls. I'm sure this will become a kaw-wide problem in the near future, and that's why I've proposed this idea, before it becomes widespread.
I'd considered that as well, but say your friend/roommate is borrowing your wifi, or you're using theirs. That would prevent you from bidding on those items. And the coding for IP blocks might be more cost intensive than just hiding names.
I think kaw should do something with the extra scrolls. I have 3 extra rings. Why not have it where you can trade 1 ring scroll for a boot scroll or a helm scroll with another player. I doubt many alts have access to scrolls anyway. Plus, you wouldn't be able to trade SS scrolls for TS scrolls. So that eliminates domination.
Having an auction in game is the best way to transfer gold from account to account. Sell whatever "item" for 500x it's price to the account with the gold that you want. That's why they won't be able to implement an auction..
My idea does woke for scrolls though. Takes out alt exploiting. And it takes out domination also. But since most people that have scrolls are hl land completion, I think kaw should throw in level 4 castle that you have to have to access auction that way if an alt is doing SS or TS and has scrolls and is not hl land completed, they won't have access to exploiting things, and keys face it, no one is gonna sit there and try to ignore hf lands to become hl land complete just to get auction. So, this can't really be exploited much.
