Guild Wars 2

I was thinking, an interface that allowed people on a borderlands map to donate to an upgrade somebody else initiated would be really cool. Like, a select the upgrade to add a waypoint to a keep, but I have the option of paying the entire cost myself or asking for donations, and if I do that, everybody on the map could open up the interface(maybe tied to the WvWvW screen so it must be sought out instead of being intrusive), and donate coin to upgrades being built?

I know some people are willing to pay full price for upgrades out of their own funds, but not everybody will do so, and I just thought this would be a cool idea.

+1, most of the time someone asking for donations in-chat results in a success, and under the current system (no secure way to ensure the donation goes toward the upgrade), the system could be exploited by gold farmers.

As an anecdote in support of this, sometimes I have asked in chat for donations to upgrade something because I legitimately didn’t have the money. I got most of the money I needed but was still off by 5 silver or so, and nobody else would donate. Now I’ve got an extra 70 silver that people just -gave- to me, expecting to get an upgrade out of it, but I can’t actually buy the upgrade, and because I’ve had to delete messages to make room in my inbox I can’t even easily refund the money.

maby it would be possible to activate update(s) and pay as much as one can afford instead of whole amount of money/karma. Then next player that checkes updates can pay some more and update starts when whole amount is payed.

Wow what a great idea!

I suggested something similar. A bit more expansive though. Something like this would be nice for sure, since often it’s just a few people doing all the upgrades.

I suggested the same also. Otherwise, ppl just play and forget what is happening around…

+1 one forthis suggestion, this would be nice.
