Gauging Interest - Free(ish) Zakum Helms and Skills
#1
I had a vision.....

I had a vision of zhelms and skill books for free!. Free!...What? Free Wow!.

Free.
Well
Kinda free.(tiny print -free for the price of an apple donation or so).

Here's the deal. There's a large market out there of selling zhelms, selling level 10 4th job skillbooks. Selling Zakum Diamonds, Selling everything. It's okay. I get it. You gotta make a buck to afford your level 30 skill books and your super awesome scrolled equips etc. But, lets be honest. It sucks. The point of making zakum drop skillbooks is to encourage teamwork. To make the game more of a group activity, rather than allow you to just grind merrily on your way to your own personal goals. It's a mmorpg, I get it.

Now the real situation. Some of us don't have the funds, the connections, the time, or the patience to get on Zak runs. We feel awkward asking strangers, or friends of friends to help us out. We have guild mates that need helms, and friends that need books. We have a group of high levels that just don't happen to be the right classes to fully take out zakum.

What does this mean. Well I'm sure many of you, like me, would like to be able to get our skill books and our zhelms without having to pay for these things.

This is my vision.

I would like to get a group of people together that choose to run to help friends/family/guildmates get their helms/books etc without having to pay.

But who will fund the apples? My goal would be for a zhelm looter to provide 2-3 apples, a skill book looter provide 1-2 apples etc. If there are no apples, we run appleless. Yes you probably wont get reimbursed for your pots, you will probably lose money, but in the end, you'll have a place to come to get your secondary chars helms and skills, or your young friends/guildmates that just dont have the funds to buy.


What about the sellable drops? If something drops that isn't needed in the group or among the buyers, we will sell it at fm value and divy out the proceeds to the people that didn't loot anything. People can bring along friends/guildmates/mules that need helms - looters will be via referral of runners to prevent every nub in broa jumping in trying to get a free helm.

Theoretically we'd start a list ranked by participation, and each contributor can recommend one person that needs a skill/helm. And then we'll rotate through as needed.


If you would like to join this squad, please sign up here. Time is TBD, tho probably sometime between 7-10 est during the week. Runners are TBD.

Basically I would like to gauge the interest in something like that, if you all think it can succeed, etc, or if you'd be willing to join something like this. I would like to think that Broa has some people willing to help out other broans without meso compensation
