Some thoughts on Paid Carries: 1. Generally, just do it. 2. Individual’s offering this service: no problemo… 3. Companies offering such services and more: wonderful! But, to make it work even better… A. BHQ to issue a license to do paid carries, whether to an individual / clan / external company. The license fee to be split 60:40 for preferred charity options and BHQ. B. The Carry Farm is a separate PvP / Trials mode so only ‘pros’ 😁 can farm other ‘pros’…and NOT enter the regular PvP / Trials / Comp. playlists. C. The Carry Service fees are governed by market forces…set within reasonable limits. D. Different service providers can charge within 3 payment bands, ie, Individual / Clan / External Company. E. BHQ can organise a third party to manage all transactions thereby retaining control so there’s no clash. 😁 Benefits: It’s a win-win for all parties concerned; especially for the charities. It also helps anyone who wants / needs a special weapon or armour set, or a bounty / quest that needs doing - but can’t do it as a solo or time-challenged player; and as it ‘authorised’ by BHQ and charity benefits, everyone wins! It also de-stigmatises the awful situation at present…and will help protect players from unscrupulous practices by the darker elements that inhabit LFG. Also, it removes the stomp farmers (doing carries) from the regular PvP / PvE environments - which might result in a more level playing field, where the rest of us may indulge in a fair scrap, for once. It also provides a legitimate and authorised channel for those elite players to strut their stuff, help fellow Guardians, benefit charity, and get paid (and publicly lauded) for their efforts! 👍 Under the a/m circumstances, I’d sign up for a few missing weapons / quests / etc. that are beyond my (current) reach; but only if the price is right! 🫡 TLDR 🥳 Just my 2d worth.
