Type of suggestion: Supporting Economy, QoL, Idea

 

Might be a slight fix for lower end normie eco items.

 

I dont think this has ever been suggested. 

There is no well of fortune on osrs. So its not on there.

 

There already is a forum reward; Goodwill. But might bring more intrest to people tossing to the well in form of not only a single forum reward. But also making a global message on top of it. (People love them flex')

 

The idea:

 

Why not introduce more forum awards for those who have contributed more than 500m the Well of Goodwill. Considering its made as an item sink in the game: It would incentise the forum Award hunters to buy out items in the market. And it would in turn bring those items up in value.

 

In form of a global message

 

Kdvpnmichael, has reached 500m contribution to the well and reached the rank "Goodwill"

AlorasPoltonPreSTb, has reached 1B contributions to the well and has reached rank "Wellerman"

CleanexCodex, has reached 2b contributions to the well and has reached the title of "Head Wellerman"

 

 

At the moment when someone gets a dupe whip on an ironman, in most cases it just gets dropped into the normie eco to atleast get something out of it. Same goes with items such Elder Mauls, Dragon Claws, Prayer scrolls and so on. While alot of endgame Ironmen are somewhat type of completionists. This for sure could catch their intrest. (Both for flex in global msg aswell as forfilling their will to get that "completed"

 

While when Ironmen who want to hunt those forum Awards, now do not bring the item into the normie eco. And just delete it before it comes into the normie economy towards an achievement. 

I personally see only positives to adding just forum rewards/way to flex to get more items to be sunk out of the game.

 

 

Disadvantages:

 

- Well might sometimes get over paid. For example 2-3 people will give items at same time and flood the well way over its capacity. (Isnt even bad for eco)

- It might speed up the game a bit more as well will be active even more than it already is.

- Might devaluate the amount of gratitude generous players get.

 

Advantages:

 

- Way more items will get tossed to the well of fortune. (Bigger item sink)

- Just a nice lil bonus for those generous enough to give to the community.

- More incentive to item sink dupes instead of dropping into normie eco.

 

 

Feel free to add extra suggestions to it.

Can’t see any harm in this. More awards to go for the better. Support.

This would be great way to encourage people to sink their duplicate items and what not in the well, helping the economy in the process. Plus more forums awards the better! :D

Support.

I support the idea of adding additional forum awards...

 

... but I don't like the way you put it together.

 

 

 

This is basically what you're suggesting... 

 

What is your suggestion?:

 

Add forum awards for those who have donated 500m, 1b, and. 2b.

 

How would this benefit Alora?:

 

Item sink / gold sink

 
 

Think about it though.  How is [ adding an incentive for donating to the well ] really going to work as an [ item and gold sink ] ?

If the well is almost always full... you don't remove much additional gold or items by making it to always full.

If you want a gold sink, you could accomplish the same thing a lot more efficiently by just increasing the well price or shortening the well duration.

 

Basically, I'm not opposed to your idea.  I just don't like your reasoning.

Here are some other ideas to consider...

 

A forum award for each boss log completion.

 

Rebalancing the pvp forum awards.

Currently the first pvp awards start at 100 killstreak and 500 kills.  This is a little high to motivate a mostly ironman community.

To be honest, the entire scale starts way too high.  The first kills are the hardest!

Have awards at...

 

25 killstreak, 50 killstreak, 100 killstreak

 

          Man... it takes special caution playing the game with a killstreak. 

          Can't run through the wild naked for clues, anymore...

          Can't go to wildy stars naked anymore... 

          Got a scorpia task in deep multi?  Good luck! 

 

100 kills, 250 kills, 500 kills
