Salary for progression

Alright, I know Blizzard is going to say (if they read this) omg you are a genius come work for us plz. But I cannot currently.

What if...for each mob you've progressed through in ZG...You were flagged for the kill, and weekly you would get a mail from (your faction) for 50 silver.

"That's not alot" "waste of time" you say? what if MC was worth 1g a mob...and BWL was worth 1.5g a mob, AQ 20 AQ 40 NAxxxxx so on so forth..

Maybe you could earn yourself a nice faction salary of like 50 gold pieces a week, for you and your guilds hard work. Potions, and repair bills would be alot easier on the pocket. Planets would align, dogs and cats loving eachother, and *gasp* people still doing old world content..

Please critique critisize and post changes or suggestions at will.

I'd love to see that, but I think Blizz made money making so difficult intentionaly. And that would make it too easy. They probably will never implement something like this

The farmers will go where the gold is...period. If they can make a boat load for killing trash in MC...you bet your bottom dollar they will.

And the reason for this is to keep inflation under control. Earning money from trash mobs is a nice idea, but ultimately it would cause inflation and give the gold farmers yet another venue to earn their ill-gotten funds. Trash mobs respawn, so they could be farmed in force and in large numbers = bad idea.

So no, I don't think this will happen. Earning gold through quests is a lot more likely, ref what is happening with the new BC quests.

Sorry Not trash mobs no way, (guild incentive) and using old zones. Very early in am when posted original lol.. BOSSES ONLY

Ok let me clarify real quick *missed the 1hour edit timer again* Each boss you kill.. earns you a bit of money weekly.. if you are able to kill boss 1 (forgot name), 2. magmadar, 3. gehennas, boss 4. Garr you are flagged for 4 bosses worth of progression in Molten core and get 4 gold a week in your mailbox.. make sense?

Again, Not trash mobs.. boss encounters.

There went getting hired for being a genius :P

Inlation issues aside, I could possibly support something like this for wiping in Naxx, to offset some of the cost of repairs and consumables - but even that is essentially "free money" once lvl 65+ raiders start to farm the place.

Bosses already drop a decent amount of gold, so I'm thinking there is already an incentive in place here. Your aim could be to run MC in 2h30 mins, with no wipes and preferably no deaths. Once on hard farm status, MC is pure profit - each boss drops 3-4g per raid member, which means you could bank 30+ gold from a single MC clear. I'm sorry, but I can't really see why Blizzard should reward you financially any more than they already do through cash drops.

Inflation is a really bad thing in an MMO. The gold farmers aren't helping out in that respect, and putting players on a progression payroll would only make it worse.

So, get rid of the money they drop, and pay you at the end of the week instead?

Surely you don't think that someone ought to get paid forever, for killing Mag once....do you?

Well I've never been rich due to repair bills.. In fact I'd say I pay out about 14 gold a week in repair alone. So i'd say yes why not. Helps with trying new content.. My guild as it stands now is turned off to AQ 40 because it's just a gold sink for pots and repair.

And I'm really thinking about all the posts about old world is dead etc, even though my stand on that is you should still learn the encounters.

I think the above is different and disconnected from the idea of getting a salary...
======
If you add a salary, I could log out for six months and come back rich? Kill everyone in Mc and BWL once, and be set for life?

Definitely would decimate the economy...
