Create your own codes

[furballdn]

There should be an option where we can choose to deposit a certain amount of electrum (from 1k to 10k) into a reward code that we create. We can then use these reward codes of money to offer rewards for our own tournaments and whatnot. Let's say someone deposits 5k into the code "milk", they organize a tournament. They then PM the victor the code, and all the victor has to do is go to the reward place and enter "milk" to collect that 5k.

That's an extremely interesting idea.  It could lead to problems, though, like giving bronze league alts tens of thousands of electrum to build fully upped decks.  And I can only imagine the newbies, especially Kong ones, begging for free handouts... :p  If there's a way to eliminate those downsides, I'm all for this idea.

Hm. Perhaps make it so that you can't cash in more than 10k (or some other number) worth of electrum in one day.

The one issue I see is with having user generated codes is that if there are two people who choose the same code.  Obviously there'd be an error, but then you'd know that the code has value and could just empty that out.

But if the codes were randomly generated, that could be subverted.

Could cards be given? If so it would be very interesting to see how the community prices rare cards.

Card giving is a no-no (since it can be abused), but money is yes.

Cards will NEVER be trade-able in Elements.  See: Nymphs.

I think it's a good idea.

That's what I figured. I agree with someone above me about the random code generation though.

Yes love the idea. With this you could make small tourneys and such. I suggest to make it unable for people under lv 5 to make codes othervise you could easily make a new account and sell cards and make a code to yourself.  And also unable to players under lv 20 to open an code, othrewise we will se fully upped decks in bronze.

The only issue I see with this (whether card trading or electrum based) is that it if it is available to any player, it can get abused by people selling electrum (or cards) for real money... and then you end up with all the issues of money selling problems you get on a lot of MMORPG's (like WoW, etc.).

E.g. This could lead to more people trying to hack other players accounts to sell their hard earned stuff. (even just electrum)

Right now, there is little reason to do so. Since there is no way to transfer anything, there is not much to be gained.

With this feature, a person could hack into an account. Funnel all the money into a code to syphon it into an account they own. Then they could sell off the electrum (e-bay etc.) for real money. Once there is a real world money incentive, you will almost certainly see people trying to take advantage of it.

I do love the idea of making it easier for people to set up / sponsor their own tournaments, but there needs to be a safeguard in place to prevent it from being abused.

Is there a way to show the code to a forum mod or something and 'approve' the code?
