Rent-a-shell network...avoid content finder?

[viion]

I dont know, it all seems a bit fishy to me.

You want to avoid content finder because... of what? You are worried about other people outside the server? Might steal loot, but you're happy to pay a complete stranger (doesnt matter if SE brand him trust-worthy, hes a stranger!) to give money out to people to then maybe not even help out.

It would require a lot of features and support to actually work legitimately and that would then make it the case of trying to influence "pay gil to win x content", do we really want that representation?

That said, people did it in XI, hell I did haha, I would get lazy or not have a big LS and just hand out a couple mil for sky/sea items that were rare/ex, but that was more for the item not the achievement. I did however used to sell summon burn PT's, Me and some friends would tribox burn people up, sold 2 leech spots for 300k/pull, and people handed over millions to me like I was their family lol.

So all up in airs, the community is unsuspectingly trust worthy but yet insanely paranoid, all very strange.

I am not sure if this type of boast would help, you could even do it now. Some how advertise your shell as a "we will get stuff done for you for x cost!", but then it comes down to, well what about things like Ifrit?

I know Ifrit isnt in the content finder, and that could be an incentive to your idea as yours is local on server.

You pay 10k per Ifrit run, what if you have to do 70-100 runs costing, a lot...

10k per person
need 4 people
40k/run

100 runs = 4mil
woo =O

Well, that is the point of the shell. It wouldn't be an SE-branded trustworthy person by any means. It would be a sackholder in the shell that you would be paying, who would then assign mercenaries in the shell to fill your party. You would pay him, he would pay the mercenaries once the task has been completed. If the task is not completed, you appeal the broker, he pays you back, and the mercenaries do not get paid. The hierarchy would be setup in house and trustworthy members would be promoted in house to the benefit of the client, who would basically mediate the transaction to prevent scams.

I am fine with other systems that SE has in the works too, but the reason I am offering this idea up is because it is something that can be done by the players now, without the need of SE to program anything or the need of anyone to wait to 2.0. A sort of, self-organized solution.
