I just came up with a brilliant idea. Because a lot of players complain about not being able to get much gold and higher end gear in WvW, how about a potential money generating option? If you’re willing to swap to a lower tier server, and your server is currently full, why not give players the ability to put their slots up for sale? There could be a Buy Out option, or set a timeframe for the slot to be bid on, and the highest bidder automatically swaps with the player. Evon would get his 15% cut, and the rest goes to the player.

Rules

  • You can only swap to a lower tier than your own.
  • You cannot decide where you want to go. Once you place your slot up for sale, you swap with where the winning bidder is.
  • Server swapping is locked for 3 months for both swapping players
  • Minimum rank to sell slot is 1,000. This is to prevent alt account abuse.

But my idea isn’t as complicated. Plus it puts “rewards” into the hands of the player willing to sell their slot.

This is why I’m fully invested in keeping an account on BG. TYBG

Please, Anet, make this happen if you won’t open BG.

An alternative idea would be to have a hard reset of everyone, and sell server slots in the Gem Store.

Allow paid accounts to bump F2P accounts out of a full server? Doesn’t address the plethora of 9.99 accounts though…..

You obviously didn’t think this all through…

Look beyond “making loot” and you’ll find how poor this idea, and the original idea, are.

It was connected to my original idea, but not properly explained. Sell server slots in the Gem Store, then allow players to resell the slots on an Auction House. That way, players who were unable to get into the server of their choice would then pay a lot of gold for the chance.
