Two birds with one stone

I thought I would share a random muse I had and see what folks have to say about it.

What if you could petition to have your level increased by a GM in exchange for in game platinum? You would just put a petition in the petition forum. A GM would then go to your account increase the level of the toon you indicated and deduct the plat from that toon or any other toon on your account.

It would remove large sums of plat from the economy and it might just remove a power leveler or two from the dungeons of Norath.

It would be a great service to those folks who just cannot tolerate playing the game at certain levels, but a thorn in the side of folks that charge for this service now. Prices could be set high so that there may still be some market and perhaps some people like being Pled so much they will pay someone anyway.

It could even go sort of full SoE and charge in game plat for all sorts of services like name change, race change, sex change etc.

What do you folks think? What should it cost? Should I be banned from posting more thoughts?

Hope I see a new animation for the "Not classic"

Lots of people will probably yell "Not Classic" (or worse) at you. Nothing wrong with good ideas being bounced around but the mindset is to keep it as close to the original as possible for their vision(s) to be achieved on the servers.

I think we all could make a wish list of things we'd like to see; but for the most part, lots of us are just glad we can log in & enjoy for the X amount of free time we get that day.

BUT...If you get your wish somehow; ask for shared bank slots too, lol~~~~

I think the reason people seek out and choose this particular server is to avoid things exactly like what you described.

Not knocking you, I just think that people come to this server that was created with a very (semi) specific timeline/rule set/goal in mind, and then try and tweak or change it to fit their particular tastes.

In any event, maybe not a bad idea somewhere else, but certainly this isn't the place for it.

I would have to count myself among those people. A couple of the things that sort of break the classic feel for me is the economy, although it’s not near as bad as I would expect given the age of the server. Also I never bumped into Pling to the extent I see it here.

I would hate to see a pay to win, but if you are using plat you earned in game is it really any different than paying someone to PL you, or twinking out an alt?
