master loot gold

Post by gnohcgnihc » Sun Oct 13, 2024 2:41 pm

Hello friends.
There should be an option to control the gold of raids with master loot similar to items. There is no reason to not allow this at all. This way we can HR or DKP the gold of the bosses which is a lot actually.
Anyway if someone doesn't like it they don't need to join the raid that has the gold on HR so there is no reason at all to not allow this.

Good day.
I am not convinced that this would be a welcome and/or beneficial change. This sounds to me quite like these ever-so-popular unpaid internship "job offer" you see a lot nowadays. Please do not expect people to help you, your guild, your pug, etc finish a raid and not get paid.

Seems fishy to me. I know it's not a gdkp per se but it's also kinda like a gdkp as some people will benefit and others will not. Definitely not in favor of this, even if it's not technically against TOS.

It really seems like this falls under the rules: "acting as a mercenary to sell tanking or healing services for in-game gold is permitted"

Raids it's way to much, high end raids net around 2-3k gold.

Dungeons, on the other hand....

Made an account just to post this, nothing suspicious here at all.

I actually don't think that master looting of gold is different from master-looting items.
When you join the raid, people declare loot distribution rules. They just add part about sharing the gold.
If you don't trust raid leader, you don't join his raid.

Though I think that master looting of gold should feature "original" way of distribution. I mean "to everyone in equal amounts". I think it just won't happen.

It doesn't work like that. You should describe any solid reason to change current state. Devs don't need to defend existing rules.
Nothing to do here. Signing off.

On paper, during raids it could work but I'm pretty sure that PUG organizers would abuse it from day one. Boss gold HR would become commonplace just like MC BoE HR, after all they both are a farming method. This would create problems during raiding which don't exist yet.

During dungeons this would be an absolute clusterfudge. Imagine the tanks ransoming the party for ML+gold before bosses since otherwise those guys can wait for hours for another tank.
I admit, on paper sounds interesting and shows similarities to masterlooting items. But this would create so much hate and toxicity you couldn't imagine at the moment.
