| Author | Use of diamonds to bend workaholic rule. |
|---|
I thought this idea was pretty good, and i didn't see any glaring problems in it. THe numbers are test figures and could be changed to fair prices.
My idea is that you could spend diamonds to change the workaholic rule in 1 or 2 ways.
1. If you pay 1 diamond the workaholic rule resets, like if you had won a combat. This would be for higher level players who have trouble winning consistently, it would allow them to work at normal rate and give the admins an extra trickle of cash. This would probaly become more popular as time goes on and high level players have more and more trouble winning fights.
2. Allow an extension of the rule. You could go to a laborers guild headquarters (like HG headquarters in GC) and pay an amount of diamonds to extend the workaholic rule, say for every diamond you pay you can enroll an extra time before efficency goes down. This would be temporary (say 1-4 weeks) EX: I go to the LG HQ and pay 10 diamonds, for the next 1-4 weeks i can enroll an extra 10 times before the workaholic rule kicks in, so i could enroll 20 times befor efficency goes down.
I'd love to hear some feedback, i think their good ideas but what do i know? |
| It would be more cost effective to just convert the diamond to gold. |
| good if a player was trying for high lg points |
| The LG points for enrolling dont decrease, only the wages. |
THis is be more cost effective than gold conversion for players of LG 2 or higher. 1 diamond converts to 2500 gold. If someone at LG level 2 (1.5 efficency) got 10 extra enrolls at a mine paying 175 he makes about 2600. 100 gold higher. LG level 3: 1000 extra gold LG4:1775 extra gold LG5: 2750 extra gold.
It's much more efficent for players to do the extra enrolls than convert to gold. |
+1 to idea,
the more ways to buy diamonds the more diamonds will be bought
(a standard business rule)
Not all players think of the optimal solution, they just play with brains turned off :)
Give players more freedom, including more freedom to spend their money. |

If someone at LG level 2 (1.5 efficency) got 10 extra enrolls at a mine
From your original post that would cost 10 diamonds which convert to 25,000g as opposed to the 2750 gold you quote for someone at LG5. |
1 diamond would equal 10 extra enrolls for the first idea.
For my second idea: Let's say you used 10 diamonds to get you 10 extra enrolls for 2 weeks. Lets say each day gives us 7 extra enrolls (No ones working 20 hours)
Enrolling the extra 7 times a day for 2 weeks at LG level 2 would give you about 1000 more gold than diamonds would LG level 3 would get you an 9000 more than diamonds would. Enrolling would still be more efficent in money making. Besides, no level 5 player would do it only level 8-14 whos LG if 4-7 so the payoff would be great even if they didn't enroll 7 extra times a day. |
| Neat idea. I am sure some folks would use that...I know that if I were ever travelling and didn't have time to play, but had time to log, I'd probably do it. |
| Oh BTW in my second post (5) i meant he makes that much more than diamond, so 6250 at LG5, |
