Currency from BFOs for Siege Equipment

[Ramasee]

Instead of buying siege equipment with gold, have them be bought with a unique currency that is given whenever you take a BFO.

This would give some reward for taking a BFO that does nothing except to further help take a keep. It would remove any gold requirement ideas from people's heads for taking keeps at a decent rate. Would also likely increase the amount of siege equipment being used to allow for more data to be collected on how such equipment should be tweaked.

That's actually a good idea imo. Except that it removes the Gold Sink of siege equipment.

Maybe increase gold costs a little, and add currency as a secondary option... People can dump gold if they have tons, or you take BOs. Empty BOs give 1, and scale up the amount gained based on the fight, same with keeps.

Nice idea.

Been way ahead of you for months. This is why people shouldn't really comment on the temporary RvR system - though of course this is a good idea working along the right lines. We've worked all this out long in advance.

While we are talking about gold sinks and so i dont have to open a new thread.

Was there a tax on the AH on live or i am misremembering things and assuming there was because there is in every other game?

Because we are looking for gold sinks and the other day i sold some mercenary gloves for 100g and i got 100g in my mail.

You want gold sinks? Start there, 15% tax to any ah buy.

...I mean...How does that help in any sort of way?

With gold inflation? Do you really need this explained to you?

Well, I sincerely doubt you're the first one to think of that "suggestion". Maybe there's a reason behind them not implementing it? Hence why I ask.

And the reason i ask is to see if there is a reason or if i remember wrong?

Jesus, i know is sunday but you are extra dense today.

And before you ask again, i did searchs both in the bugtracker and the forums, for tithe and tax. Nothing came up.

Nevermind about my search in google about if there was a tax in warhammer online AH, terrible times.

Read the post again. If you can't handle someone asking you a question, well then I suggest stocking up on food and hiding in a basement somewhere.

Edit: I see AH tax as being extra taxing on people who already don't have enough gold. I sincerely doubt anyone who has gold to spare will care about a 15% tax.

What if allready in basement?

On another note, I dont feel like siege weapons are the ideal candidate for a gold sink.
The are an integral part of orvr and everyone should be able to bring them.
I think more ideal goldsinks would be vanity items, increased costs of dye's, etc.
For sieges to function as they should (read lots of siege equipment) everyone one has to be able to buy them no?
I like the idea of siege weapon currency.
