Duty roulette xp consumables

Personally, I think that you should continue to gain xp at max level and whenever you fill up a level instead of gaining power, you get a coffer with a random item from a pool of items. I'm talking mostly glamors, mounts, minions, housing items, etc. Maybe even some tomes or a special currency with decent items to pick up. As long as there's something good in there, there would be plenty of people that would continue to play their max level character for it.

This wouldn't work. All it'd do is destroythe economy even further. It'd essentially be the same thing as the horde sacks from deep dungeons..

that shiny new minion you can get might be worth millions for the first few hours. but then nose dives right down to just a few hundred gil.
the same with all the other rewards and stuff you can get. like primal glmaour weapons.. in the first few hours you can make adecent bit of money off them. but the market gets flooded with them very very quickly. crashes the economy and then noone bothers going after sacks anymore as they're deemed worthless.

same thing would essentially happen with your idea of coffers... be nice for maybe a day but after that the markets would end up flooded with all the rewards and crash the economy even more..

1) You could level jobs you should be playing and knowledgeable on how to use (at least you must level the last 10 levels worth even if story skip).
2) Players would stockpile the boosts and insta cap jobs as new expacs launch.

1:- kinda moot the ways jobs play in levelling content and at end game is totally different for the most part... levelling content is 95% spam your aoe.... doesnt teach you how to play...

2: easily fixable by making then U/U

Destroy what economy? lol. You're describing something that happens to every item that is tradable regardless of anything. Make the items untradable and there you go, it won't "destroy" the game's "economy."

Even without that, horde sacks outlived the expansion that they were in (arguably), and in this instance new items could be added each expansion with currency from the coffers allowing you to purchase previous expansion items.

except that horde sacks still have some valuable rewards. not even counting the rare-ish mounts like the night pegasus or the dodo, but even just the glowy primal weapons you get from potd can net you some decent cash, around like 20k a piece. might not sound like much but it stacks up since you get so many if you run 1-200 or 51-200

edit: by 20k a piece i mean a general average, of course not every weapon costs the same, i've seen some go for around 80k and some go for 2 or 3k at most

Except all of these weapons at one point were worth several hundred thousand. Some even a couple million. So yeah, Dzian is kind of right about the destruction of the market for the hoard sack items.

Wouldn't really call that decent considering other sources have easily obtained items still selling for 500k-1.1m+ (a.k.a. Zadnor). PoTD is really only worth it for Pegasus and Dodo and experience in lower levels, in my opinion.

fair, i agree. my point was more that though they're devalued they're not entirely worthless, although you'll be obviously looking for a pegasus, getting these weapons can stack up to some okay gil too imo
