Guild Wars 2

I think it would be really cool if Arenanet kept track of how much money the black lion trading company acquires from listing fees on each server. Then we could have server rewards programmed into that server specifically for achievements.

Example: When listing fee profit for the BLT company reaches 1,000,000,000 then a massive statue is built of something somewhere in Lions Arch or somewhere else. Heck we could even allow the players to decide what they want their server’s reward to me (something meaningful and lasting, not buffs!!!).

This could be a way for servers to compete with each other because essentially the server with the most listing fee profit for the BLTC is the server with the most booming economy. I think it could make the game fun in an economic warfare kind of way

The BLTP is cross-server, so what you’re suggesting would be kinda impossible.

All sorts of companies monitor transaction and compile data. I don’t see why they couldn’t find a way to subdivide the servers up to see how much profit is being generated on each server by the BLT.

Oh my, that would probably happen so fast and so often that LA would be full of nothing but Evon Gnashblade statues

But it’s not profit, it’s just a gold sink. The gold from listing fees is basically deleted from the game. Why add up the taxes instead of just tallying up the sales? Listing fees can be manipulated by listing, then removing the listing over and over.

Actually, I think some sort of PVE competition among servers could be interesting, although I wouldn’t make it about the TP. Guesting kind of makes any sort of PvE competition meaningless though.
