Incentive to Play Wc2?
« on: November 22, 2015, 11:51:21 AM »
So... The current W2 community, as small as it is, varies in nationality and socioeconomic class. Some people live meal to meal, while others own their own successful business. So, this idea would clearly more likely target the lower socioeconomic players of W2, but why don't we create a reward-2-play system? If we could set up a bank account with Burnt, Blid, or someone trustworthy, throw a few bucks in there, and then any new player that any of us attracts to the game and gets (for example) 100 games played, the person who found that player could then receive (for example) $10.00.

This would give me incentive to find 5 of my real life friends to play and help them reach 100 games on their stats so I could earn 50 bucks.

What do you guys think about this idea? The numbers are just arbitrary. I don't care if it's 50 games, 50 wins, 1,000 games or anything. I don't care about the $ amount either. Whatever is significant enough to matter to people.

In order to fight fraud we would have to check IPs played as well. Watcha think?

Edit: Or maybe said person can get a Recruiter Icon, and there can be different levels of Recruiter Icons/designs depending on how many people recruited to X level.
I love this game!

Shit is too old, doesn't even have HD graphics or multi-monitor support. The appeal of this game is going down the toilet. It also has problems with the newer OS's.

Real constructive Ryu. :p I think it's a good idea cam, you want to be in charge of it? Manpower is our scarcest resource.

Haha thanks for the support. I'll hit you up later when I've written up a proposal that might work. Then we will have to make announcements and a way for people to submit new friends' account names. I'm not sure how hard it is to check up on ip logins so that someone like myself can't just make a new account, get to 100 wins in a week and earn money.
I love this game!

Cross referencing IPs & usernames isn't difficult but there's no way to detect if someone's using a proxy to change their IP -- people do it all the time to cirucumvent IP bans. Maybe require new users to link to their FB profile or something? Most people have them and I don't think an established FB profile can be easily faked. Not sure what to do for people that don't use FB though. Hardware ID maybe, but there are no plans to roll that out any time soon afaik.

I remember when the ease of just simply logging into battle.net blew my mind back in the day [emoji1]

When it's about money, it's always a great idea for the staff.

Soon They will put dellam admin for 50$

Probably a bad idea for yamon who is a money making whore because he has few real life friends. To be frank it'll take innovation to change the game. Ita clear the old ideas don't work and I have yet to see many good ideas thrown out there. Tell me why its bad.
