Guild Wars 2

I recently read the interview from Dragon Season of Colin Johanson where they asked questions about “Player created content” and if it would ever be implemented into the game, which Colin Johanson by saying that they were not really sure of how to do it.

Because they don’t really want to commit ressources just to go through all the content submitted by the players.

James “2GD” Harding talked about something like that in his show “The GD studio” a few month back, and i though I would share his insigh on this, if you don’t know who 2GD is, well he is an ex Quake/WoW pro player, he has done some casting for ESL and Blizzard , is now “representing” Twitch europe side of things and owns his own show The GD studio and his own talent agency for esport , representing apollo (SC2 caster) and singsing (Dota 2 pro player)

So his view in the matter would be to have like a place where everyone can submit their work to be added into the game, that work can be seen by anybody, and they can upvote it or downvote it.

When X thing reaches X number of upvote with X ratio of up/down votes it goes to the devellopers and it gets added into the game.

Whenever someone buys the content the original creator gets some gems.
This is for items only though.

I though this was pretty smart and that it would fit Guild Wars 2.

Hope you read this, because having a lot more things to sell in your stor would get you a lto more money , that you could invest for future tournaments , or hiring talented people.

Agree’d!!!! I have idea’s I’d love to create for my Guild. The I.P. property rights of the content creator would have to be fully given to Anet. Then the item would be purchasable by everyone on the Trading Post.

We wouldn’t have something exclusive for Guild’s or individual’s. But, we would have an extra variable of choice for creativity.

City of Heroes had this built in, in the form of the Mission Architect. Players could create custom story arcs for their friends to play.

The problem with a system like this is the immeasurable amount of work it takes to properly execute. Even two years after implementation, the Mission Architect in CoH was still receiving bug/exploit fixes.
