guilds buying chars and accounts with DKP

[Legidias]

So if he did all that for free (say if he was retiring) then you would be okay with him giving away all the stuff you helped him get if he didn't get DKP?

You just sound bitter that he got something and you didnt.

I don't see a problem here. Does suck that people are incentived to level and play characters they have no attachment to, or in some cases even enjoy playing. But that's more of just a mechanics gripe.

Like a poster above mentioned, it's just a service for ingame currency.

I don’t see a problem here because this is fantasy land and none of it is real lol. One day you will realize how silly this thread you created was. Until then we’ll be amused.

Can move to rnf anytime now

Accounts don't change ownership. Basically you would have to say you are against all kinds of compensation for powerlvling because DKP only has value in the same manner as plat. In any case, it's exchange of in game stuff for in game stuff.

Sounds like an excellent plan.

I don't have a dog in this race, but your definition of "in-game currency" seems strange to me.

Platinum is an in-game currency: it is tracked, transferred, bought and spent in-game. But every guild I've ever known about keeps track of their DKP outside of the game, typically on a guild website. It is literally impossible to buy and spend your DKP in-game unless your guild officer can access an out-of-game DKP system.

I've never heard of anyone who tracks their guild's DKP using /note or any other in-game mechanism, so it seems like a stretch to call it an in-game currency.

Hmm.
It's 4x per kill sure, but we pay 400 DKP for a guild bot whereas Tempest pays 5500 DKP - almost 14x as much - and we all know that's the real way the top earners are making their DKP.

You have to attend 275 successful kills to make the same DKP as leveling one bot.

This ogremath still makes me smile.

What if my partner and I trade off accounts for a bit to have freaky elf sex as opposite elf toons? Should that be banned?

Pretty sure this is illegal in the South.

But rarely prosecuted in Austin or New Orleans, location is everything.

Fairly certain the south stops 1 inch outside Austin city limits. Everything past that is the southwest.

Just a bid to bring this thread back to it's beginnings.
I sure am proud of Mr. President for taking Nancy and Chuck into a slice of life they haven't experienced in a long time. Having their steenky feet exposed to the public.
It is good to watch it over a few times. Kinda like is inauguration speech, or the election night coverage. How sweet it is.
