Title: A "Rent" area in the Market
Post by: Necrorave on April 05, 2013, 04:56:31 pm
Perhaps do something similar to what armory does although make it on the market?

Mechanics: Every player can only rent up to a maximum of +3 when it comes to looms.
Example: You can rent 1 Masterwork item, or 3 "Tempered" items etc.  (So people do not rent out a full set of powerful items.  I think it should be something that changes things up but does not give the player too much power.)

After renting the item, you pay a daily price to keep it.  Although, the owner cannot take it back until the first 24 hours are up (To prevent people from scamming by taking it away immediately)
A week after renting, the item will be returned automatically to prevent inactive people from losing all their money.

I think this would be a nice feature.  Especially considering most clan armories set "Daily fee" to 0.  Kinda silly to charge your friend to borrow something, why not make a public version?

Feedback?  Tweaks?  Name it.

Just an idea: have a time set for length of rent, and set a price for the given timeset

That would work, although I figured letting it be up to the lender how much time they want to use it for would suffice better.

This is already implemented within the armory system.

Would be awesome to see on the marketplace without having to join a clan. Can only approve.

I dont mind.. I got plenty of looms to rent out... but it only leads to the rich getting richer.. is that wanted? The crpg loomsystem already make it hard for new players to get a fair fight.

@duke dickass
It may be in the armory system but the thing is that most people don't want to have to join a certain clan to rent out a given item. Couse you have to do that to lend them it.

I understand what you are saying.  Although the renting system will give active new players the ability to rent out looms for reasonable prices.  Course, everyone else would be able to as well, although I feel it gives newer players a bit of an idea of looms in general.

Not really. What about setting up limitations for those who can rent? Let's say only player mains with gen 3 or less can rent items. This would help newbies to become competent quicker...

This would make sense to help newer players, although it would just make veteran players create alts.  I think it should be free to everyone, although limited as too how much you can rent.  (The up to a +3 limit I mentioned)

I understand your point of this, but this will give new/old players with no looms the chance to rent out looms.  Rich players may rent from each other.  It is not like "New" gold is being made.

I have no looms to rent out so I would be getting no profit from this, but I wouldn't mind being able to rent a couple of weapons myself to see how they are.

It's an idea that I would enjoy for the ability to play with different looms.  Not for profit.

Hahaha, imagine the rage if this was implemented. Think of the item market crashing. Disciples of POOPSCAMMER and other Wallstreet Wizards yelling "SELL SELL SELL!!!" Character net worths dropping as if they were wearing plate armor every round. Loom points and +3s selling for record low prices...

Either that or prices would skyrocket every time a new item became the flavor of the month. Get your +3 now! Rent it out while it's still cool! Hurry before you miss your chance to cash in!!!

This is a valid point.  First logical con about this idea.  Although keep in mind the limit on how much people can rent.  Maybe add a cooldown to go with it?  (You can only rent up to +3 once a week?)
