Electrum Bank

[Lifestream]

I suggest an electrum bank for the players to store their money in so they can get interest every day. Or it could be a place to keep addition deck slots.

i like the electrum bank idea especially the interests $$$

I like the interest idea.  I've been thinking this myself for some time.  I don't see it happening though.  I've played a lot of games where I thought it would be nice, but developers never seem to agree.

I think this is a great idea. I had something (Bank with interest) similar on a game/mod I created some time back and players loved it, you could perhaps give 5% interest a day or something - would lead to a new goal: save 30000 and get 1 free upgrade per day.

Question. Why should you get more money, for doing nothing?

[markilleruk]

You don't: You get money for having saved money rather than spent. Consider that you would have to lose out on 20 upgrades at 5% interest to get just 1 per day. Its a long term investment and it would take 20 days to start really benefiting you.

This isn't very much and would be very slow (it would take a couple of weeks for a new player to save 30k and then he would have to wait 1-2 months to fully upgrade his deck by doing nothing, comparatively you can earn 1400+ per hour farming and 4000+ per hour FG farming.

I think it would work well, the exact numbers (% interest etc) could be determined by a detailed discussion

Edit: fixed some typos.

You wouldn't be doing nothing, it would work just like a real bank, where you get interest for storing money.

The problem is that the bank uses your money while it's in there.  They're not just paying you to hold your money, they're paying you to let them use it.  Nobody is using the electrum you store up.

Now, maybe a loan system would work.  Allow us to loan electrum to another player.  When that player wins games a certain percentage of his winning is taken and given to the donor until the loan plus interest is paid back.  That way poor players can update cards and rich players who already have updated cards can help out a noob and make a little money doing it.

Only problem with this is that it far too complex, I subscribe to the KISS principle

Well we sort of have something like that with the oracle already (free electrum). I'm not really a fan of players getting interest though. It would allow some players (me being one of them) to too easily acquire a large sum of electrum in a relatively short time. I like that if i want to have every card in the game i need to play more rather then... not play and just accumulate the electrum.

Ditto. I already have a ton of electrum. The last thing that needs to happen is for somebody like me to get a ton more after putting in zero effort.
