I have an idea for a player solution to content finders. This idea is derived from the ability of players in Guild Wars 1 to fill out the remaining slots of their party by renting npc's.

What if someone on each server created a rent-a-shell network as a way for those in the shell to make money by filling out the slots needed for peoples quests and dungeons. The hierarchy would be:

Shell Creator > Shell brokers (sackholders) > Shell Mercenaries

Groups would contact a trusted shell broker to pay for each extra member they need to complete their objective, and negotiate a price. The group would directly pay the broker, not the mercenary. The broker would assign mercenaries to the group to complete the clients objectives. Once the objectives are completed, the mercenary would apply to the broker for their wages, barring any objection from the client.


Ideas, thoughts? This is just brainstorming here so any input is welcome.
