Charging for runs.

[Atlaworks]

I suspect it will be a sellers market. Any tank called a bad name can simply take solace in the knowledge that the dps that made the insult will probably be in their queue for a long time.

Of course we could all be wrong and it could turn out to be a complete non event. We will just have to wait and see.

Oh, no, I'm not saying it will or will not be a good or even feasible idea to try and sell tanking to other players. I'm just saying, it's a thing you can do.

How well will it work? Hell if I know, I don't buy tanks. I have people to do that for me already.

I mean as far as someone calling me mean names, I'm an adult it really wouldn't bother me. XD

We are already planning to do with my tank.
Why ?
- We don't get new job for ourselves so that's our "bonus" (tank and healer for life)
- We need money for our FC to get a new home ^^
- We need people to have less money to have more chance to get a new home xD

Same here, plus, he will have to wait longer in his queue ^^

People have been selling runs for as long as I've been playing (2 1/2 years or so). If it were an issue with the ToS, I imagine something would have been done about it by now. I'm considering the "mercenary" route myself when SB hits. Prices will inevitably depend on what other people are charging. Treat it like the market board and just charge a slightly cheaper price than everyone else haha

I will prob just toss the dungeon into PF with a statement "Tipping is optional", or may invite people in the zone that are at that stage as well or que solo. Hope the tanks have a healer in their back pocket or they to might have a wait in que as well.

Mercenaries are not against rules, but I was always amazed but this game's community undesire to help someone for 'free' like I saw in other games.

well, let's be real here, unlike other games, this is a monthly paid sub, and you're using part of your sub to help someone else... if the game had some option to buy it for life for $200 or something then you'd see long time vets willing to help for but a pittance, but otherwise, we're all on the clock, and try to optimize our time.

also lol at how similar the user above me's avatar is; though I did visit aesthetician lately to change my hair.

Well, i hope most tanks at this game are like me, and not little butthurt entitled snowflakes, because lets face it, the single idea of charging for a stupid dungeon run comes from some crybaby going: WAHHH NO TANK NO HEALER THIS EXPAC? Q.Q JUSTCHU WAIT SE, IMMA CHARGE ALL THOSE DPS TILL YOU LEARN Ò.Ó

I think its less about punishing dps as much as seeing a potential market. The tanks and healers doing this probably wouldn't be queuing otherwise. I know I am not planning to spend the first week doing nothing but dungeons. Frankly I have enough dps in my FC that I doubt I will want to heal for anyone else just because otherwise I will probably stop enjoying the experience and at the end of the day that is why I play.

Yep, and not ashamed at all
