Guild Wars 2

Hey guys this is just a small suggestion for the game. Its just an idea that i have ontop of my head that i believe would fir perfectly into GW2. Not everything i say is final to the idea.

Has anyone thought about what the Taxes imposed by the Trading Post end up becoming? Well maybe HALF or 1/4 or even 10% of the taxes charged for selling items on the trading post be placed and pooled every week (Monday to Friday) so that players can view the amount pooled via Black Lion Trading Co (O) —-> Lottery (Tab). This will generally pool up to around 500g+ or so. Players can then buy tickets for the lottery via the Gem Store for around 100-500 gems. Then each week on Sunday, a lucky 10-100 people will be chosen. The amount will be sent to the Pick Up tab in the Black Lion Trading Co window. The winners should also receive some sort of message in their mail informing them about their luck.
Note this can be Server based or Game based (like the Trading Post)

Thanks for your time and leave more suggestions and comments to help this.

That money is removed from the game to help combat inflation, which can be a serious problem if it gets out of control. Saying that, my main problem with a coin-based prize is that it’s boring! I’ve seen other MMOs sucessfully have lotteries with mostly fun items (such as tonics, cosmetics, etc).

But hey, that’s just my opinion. I’ve seen many popular player-hosted lotteries on MMOs, so adding security to the concept by making it official wouldn’t be a bad thing.

That is true, how the economy will crack if this happens. Although, that isnt necessarily true. aNet can decrease the percentage of money pooled so that it doesnt impact the economy.

Your idea is good. Maybe it shouldnt be money, but in game items! These items could become only able to be obtained via the Lottery.

Prerequisites is the one you looking for!
