Spar bids - 2

Dawn · 11-28-2014

If there were two guilds and one planned to lose all spar matches and a bet is always placed on the same team they could make alot of money. If the bet they placed wins, they get double the money. They can also bet on how much time it will take, which player kills the most people, and who dies first/last.

Remove the ability to bet on oneself would be the only way to avoid that form of abuse in this system.

wrong. Someone can get a guild and make one guild lose all matches and person betting gets a ton of money on purpose

Theres also the fact of players thinking it would be unfair for the good sparrers to win all the money

But good sparrers cant bet on themselves neither do they get money from the betting others bet on them

Correction: The inability to bet on any spar match that one is a part of, guild or normal.

Hope that makes the implied fixes noticeable to those who didn't see it before...

What if you there was a room dedicated to pay for spar? For example, players would have to pay 100 gralats to be placed in the queue, once that player is put against it's oppenent, they battle it out and whoever wins gets their money back, plus the 100 the other player put in. Maybe 100 gralats isn't enough for players put in a risky situation, perhaps 200 or even larger amounts could add an incentive. Just an idea though.
