Title: A Better Way To Buy Heirloom Points
Post by: Akryn on August 21, 2011, 12:08:37 am
At the moment, people currently sell "heirloom points". For those who don't know, this means that someone who is about to retire will heirloom an item depending on someone elses request for a sum of gold. This is fine when the buyer wants to purchase a +1 heirloom which they are having a hard time buying. The seller of the "heirloom point" simply needs to get a basic item and heirloom it to sell on the marketplace. However, if the buyer drops out for some reason, the seller may have a hard time selling the newly aquired heirloom.

Furthermore, if someone (like me currently) wants to upgrade an already heirloomed item, there is a high risk of scamming. I have to first trade the seller of the "heirloom point" my heirloomed item for them to heirloom it and then trade me it back. My current way of doing this is having them temporarily buying my heirloom off me (or trading an equivilent heirloomed item), having them heirlooming my item, then buying my new item back for the original cost of me selling it to them (or returning their own heirloom) plus the price of the "heirloom point".

For example, this is how I currently buy "heirloom points" to be used on an already heirloomed item:

My suggestion which would have a lot less risk involved would be to recieve an item upon retiring which can be used/consumed to heirloom an item. This new item (which we could call "Heirloom Point") would be able to be  bought and sold by players on the marketplace.

Agree, just give a loom point upon retirement and make it tradeable.

Yea, or just create some kind of escrow system. Whichever one takes less work.

A good suggestion. However, I like the current system when the people are only able to heirloom an item which they can use. Your suggestion will ruin this feature. So, it has to be modified somehow.

I like it, but there'd probably be issues. I can't really think of any at this moment though..

The limit on only being able to loom items you can use have to stay no matter what. This idea is good, even tho not sure if and how it could be implemented.

Its a good idea.

In the mean time I've set up an Escrow clan to Escrow in strat and in the market place for CRPG loomed items.

If you don't mind spending a bit of extra gold we will take the time to make sure you don't get ripped off. And if it does head south we will personaly hunt the barstard down.
