Lending!

[John Halo Chief]

How about another ge, but with borrowing and lending? like u put in borrowing bandos godsword, 20k for...5 hours, then when someone makes that deal, they'll put it in ur bank and u can go get it. :mrgreen:

 

 

 

also, to prevent some things, minimal amount to pay would be 1/10 of market price and 1/5 max to pay. (maybe lower for more expensive items)

 

all others, comment, come up with ideas, and get me COOKIES!!!! :twisted:

sounds like a good idea, maybe expand a little more though

Here's a few interesting characteristics I'd like to see how you plan to adjust your GE for.

 

 

 

#1. Times of the day make a HUGE difference in prices. Near 10-12PM Eastern time, when the majority of US players are looking to loan out their items before sleep\school, the price can drop as much as 5 times - it's difficult to get over 300k for dragon claws at ANY loan length in those times

 

 

 

#2. Amount per hour varies vastly depending on loan duration. A 1 hour loan might commend 100-150k\h; a 3 hour loan might get 75k\h, and a 12 hour loan would get at most 40k\h.

 

 

 

#3. Market conditions play a huge factor in loan prices. Whenever there is a big rise or fall in the market price, or a crash\skyrocket in the market value, everyone is trying to buy or sell their pair for the best deal possible, not loan them out for a few hundred K. In the meantime, panic builds in the loaning area and prices are driven far above the standard. I've gotten 600k for 2 hours in situations like this.

 

 

 

#4. Fluctuation within the loaning circle. Let's say there's 3 people borrowing claws. Currently there is no one loaning, and each of them are willing to pay 300k for 5 hours. 15 minutes later, no one has shown up, and they each begin trying to outbid each other. The price could easily be driven over 600k before two of them drop out and someone finally shows up. The reverse happens with multiple loaners and no one wanting to borrow.

 

 

 

That's just scratching the surface of those issues. I'm greatly interested in how you plan to solve them, and believe me, there's FAR more issues to be addressed. They can wait until I hear your current solutions. Also, in response to your question... Yeah, if I wanted to RWT, I could offer my whip 1 hour for 50m. Would anyone take it? Nope. Unless I payed a company 20$ in real world money to 'borrow' it, and thus transfer 50m GP to me. Exaggerated, but hopefully you get the point. I'll be eagerly awaiting your response.

He is that guy. He didn't like that I killed that thread with logic so he made a new one. So I copied and pasted my argument back over :|

Please do not post multiple threads for the same idea. You have already created a thread with this idea so the discussion may continue there:
