Hi everybody.
IntroI'm not giving an idea of WHICH game it'll be, I'm just giving an example.
Also, all prices, numbers, suggestions are given as is, and all bragging rights reserved.
As I grow towards the 9K useless electrum coins, I started thinking...
What if there was some kind of mini-game you could play?
In my opinion it should give a badge, that other players can also see.
Such badge could also be given by events and I've been brainstorming.
-A way to show your wealth. Not as in, how much
you carry, but on how much
you spent total. On milestone basis (1K, 5K, 100K, 1M, etc)
-A way to get unique badges from events or something, to show you attended that event. Like you've attended the 3rd Duo-color Rush-Deck Tournament and became 1st.
-A way to see whether somebody passed all quests and is ex-noob. A badge with a graduation hat for example.
-It's nifty to collect stuff ^,^. Ask McDonald's restaurant chain if you don't believe me.
Example given.A game such as Tetris could end up with having reached lvl 6.
Then the badge shows a circular badge of a tetris-piece with a 6 on it.
For the rest of the game it would have no affect, it would only decrease speed at which collectors grow their decks.
Pro's
-A way to show how active you are in the game and/or community.
-A way to blast those useless electrum coins back to where they came from.
-Higher level players will have another step to take. And that's a good thing, it'll keep them busy.
Con's
-You'll get a lot of empty PVP slots?
-It might be another thrill for new players, but could also encourage them (as well as discourage them) to get to play a/the mini-game.
It's the Con's that made me vote for the bottom choice.
Because then the Con's don't really count at all, really.
