Is there any way to help that poor quaggan in Town of Prosperity? I already gave him all my gold, but he did not react. Well, obviously I did not, but does giving him money actually accomplish anything substantial?

I think he’s a drunk and this is just a lesson in giving alcoholics your money. I gave him 1g1s1c.

Yes I would also say that this walking punching bag is a freeloading drunkard. Gave him 1g and he still isnt satisfied (a drink costs less than 1 silver).

Or he’s thirsty because he’s in a desert area with the closest water on the other side of a quickstand river… and he’s of an aquatic race.

That was my first thought when speaking with him, terrible place for a quaggan. Then he had no thanks for my gold. That’s when I walked inside the building and noticed it’s a bar..

Most bars serve water :P.

I mean, sure for all we know he could be a drunkard, or he simply could be hanging out at the one place which WILL give out drinks/water.

So for all we know, he’s a clever goldsink. I guess we’ll never find out if there is a hidden achievement for giving him 2000g (or is it 3000g?). Maybe it comes with a title “Greatest Moron Ever”.

At the end of LS2 he strikes it rich in the mine and repays you with interest.

Then he stages a hostile takeover of the BLTC, rebrands it as a low-interest mortgage shell corporation, and plunges us all in to massive housing debt for the new player housing feature. LS3’s plot is all about solving the tyrian mortgage collapse.

I’ve given him over 5g…I couldn’t believe that he doesn’t actually do anything so I kept giving him money. lol I’ve come to the same conclusion as everyone else, he likes to drink. Would probably make for a really funny story as to how he even got out there in the middle of nowhere.

He is relatively close to a well with water in it. Hmm … you can take the bucket near the well and go to the bottom to fill it but there does not seem to be a way to get it back up. Maybe there is a way and you can pour some water on him.

He admits to being guilty of poor decision making.

It’s a good thing it’s not possible to buy alcohol from other vendors and give it to him. For all we know he is an underaged Quaggan and players doing this could be brought up on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Just think how that would look on your resume, a morals charge involving you and a drunk, young Quaggan not wearing much in the way of clothing.

Either way, giving alcohol to a Quaggan and having him drunk and in a Quaggan rage should delete karma from your account, not add it.

Anet should most definitely add an alternate animation for every emote in the game that plays when you’re drunk. Then we could all have a drunken dance party with Drooburt and break some furniture, and he’d be able to foot the whole bill.

Drooburt is not meant as a gold-sink, he is probably just meant as a joke. You should laugh at the idea of a quaggan in a desert, and the option to give him money is there to express pity for this useless character.

It was never intended for masses of players to remove thousands of gold from the economy. The absence of an event bar should be a clue. (And I do find the suggestion interesting that donations to Drooburt could have a tiny effect on the Zephyrite Merchant tier. I wish I had an answer there.)

Not everything in this game has to be functional, or dedicated to “making loot”. Some things are just meant to be entertaining.

You’re flagged for being an ArenaNet sock puppet account because no player in their right mind would try to justify this.

There are beggars in Divinity’s Reach that have the same ‘entertainment purpose’ except when you ‘give them a coin’, you don’t actually spend your hard earned cash.

If it were meant for entertainment, he’d have dialogue only. This is just a gold sink, and an offensive one at that.
