can you change the system since commander title is readily available/obtainable through gold ?
before implementing = refund all the commander tags to the Players who bought it
if you want a gold sink: My idea:(you can suggest your own here)
through VOTING, and one vote is 10silver each, and you can vote for your favorite commander-electoral
requirements:
1. one vote costs 10 silver each playable character
(for the purpose of gold sink)
you can vote multiple times given that you have multiple characters
(maybe a limitation that would be seen here is creating multiple characters to get a vote)
(we can make a variable that at least LEVEL 20 Characters can only Vote)
1.1 any player who intends to run must pay a fee of 1 gold (still for the purpose of Gold sink, and for the purpose of not oversaturating the electoral race, the bad part is that what if 10000 players wants to run for the position)
- to combat this scenario a 3 day time frame to file for candidacy is inforced (maybe at this process thousands of players will file)
- 4th day, he/she must submit at least a 500 word speech in game (it is easily checked because we can have word count) (at this stage dedicated/intellectual/strategic players will be the one who will initiate this stage)
- 5th day, the first 50(fifty) candidates who completes the requirements are the one who is going to run. (first serve status)
2. the commander candidate must at least 2 weeks old in a server
3. the candidate must be in a guild for at least two weeks also
(hindsight the commander can switch between guilds he is affiliated with, but if there is a system that if he/she is the commanding arms, he/she cannot switch guilds until his post is relieved)
3.1 one guild member CAN only run for the post, no multiple representatives
4. like the previous games that I played, (and in real life) commanders can only take the post for a certain period of time
maybe 1 month is enough for leadership
5. after 3 weeks of leadership. filing candidacy will take on effect to prepare for the next commander
6. the previous commander can be re-elected, can re-run for the post.
7. in lieu of different time zones and limited play time of some commanders ( due to real life activities and what not, we can elect 10 commanders in one month, or 15 maybe plausible)
8. if the commander changes server permanently, his/her commander status is revoked, and in this scenario, a game announcement will be published through mail that a certain commander is out. and emergency elections will be carried out immidiately without the cost of 10 Silver
8.1 guesting commanders will have a different color tag and will have a dignitary previledge to lead PvE in other worlds.
9. since their power is bestowed upon by the majority, commanders will have 3 timed abilities to command its people
- he can send one mail to all its constituents to call for arms (cooldown time 45 minutes, so it will not be annoying)
- he can use mass party maybe 75 individuals players
- he can use emergency, to teleport all his party members to his location (for assault) (cooldown 30 min)
10. commander hall of fame UI. to track good/bad commanders, and its constituents can make a rating of the commanders (a track record for officials)
11. the developers can make a sub-forum to discuss past present and future commanders,
12. in game – we can view their speeches and intent to run the commander post (so we can gauge their competencies)
and after a month a new cycle will begin
any Amendments is greatly appreciated if it can make the rules clear enough
