Ascalon City, Yaks Bend, Lions Arch, Amnoon Oasis, Droks Forge, Ember Light Camp should all have random give away every hour or two. They should randomly choose a player and give them like 10,000 gold every hour. Only in American District 1. It would just be good because sometimes people don't have a lot of gold and need a little pick me up. I know I do sometimes. This is just an idea, so don't get angry at me or anything if you think it is stupid. You are entitled to your opinion, but I am too.

Yeah.... there are enough AFKs leaving there pc on all night as it is, don't try and make it even easier for bot farmers to mass gold.

They would have to respond within 1 minute of the choice. If they don't respond, the give away will restart, and the "jackpot" will double.

For every time they don't respond, they will not get to be able to for another give away.

You'll be surprised how many AFKers there are, I like them, makes the places seem 'fuller'

But this will start a new strain of bots who will camp the town and claim the prize.

All this will start is people will start to camp the towns waiting for it. I just don't like this idea.

Ok, let's change the idea around. Make it a once a day thing at a specified time. That would make there be less campers.

It wouldn't work out. it would make guild wars unrealistic somewhat. Also there are alot how would take advantage of it.

nope dude... Besides there are several people that go to those cities and do giveaways - or trivia and such for either small things to large amounts of money. My husband made about 10k answering trivia one night. Actually holding something like this would make it to simple for hacks and then you would see rollbacks of he11 come out >_<

Nah I will stick to the friendly I like to give stuff away people! (besides its always great to watch them slow down the trades American D1 of Ascalon, Droks, or LA because everyone wants to be a winner ^_^)

Those people who don't have money are either lazy or new to the game. The lazy people don't deserve it, the new people will have to build their own fortune by farming, just like everyone else. I don't know what got into your mind, but this is bs :P

Europe is the welfare state, not America. It should be EU Dis... My guild hall. >.> And it should give me 1 million gold per hour.

Yes give me free money please because I don't want to play this game.

sounds like someone who doesnt want to work for their money, do it the way we did play the game! i know it seems like a wacky crazy idea but give it a shot. just when the beggers in Tyria began to slow down (compared to what it was like) Factions is released and they are all back in full force.

That's what the idea sounds like to me. LOL

To the OP. If you want to give away gold in town, go right ahead, but I doubt Anet will ever put something like this in the game.

I love it how people all each other nerds or geeks in the same game there in, now the question is WHY ARE YOU HERE? Also how people also says " get a life", THAN WHY ARE YOU HERE? I mean if your gunna try to insult and bash on a game don't say something that relate to you as well.

As for the 10 k a day or hour, no because we have farming. Being idle and typing in a number, major lag cities.

More gold... is not a good thing.

Did you ever play Diablo 2? Gold had absolutely no value in that game because it was ridiculously abundant. Players actually used rare items as currency, instead of the in-game currency that was so broken.

Money has to have scarcity. It's just how economy works.

For all the reason already posted. Play, have fun, you will have more than enough gold for all your needs. (Not your wants!)

How was this idea ever meant to work in your head? It's like you sat down and planned a way to get people to laugh at your ridiculous idea. Sure everyone wants money. But jsut as sure, everyone wants money that is actually worth something. The GW crew haven't yet put much in that is a money sink, so your stupid idea costs them every single day. I would like my gold to be worth something, not just worth about as much as dirt just because some noob thought it might be a good idea to devalue our economy just for the happiness of one person. Sure, one person gets happy and 1000 people get sad.
Hoo-fricking-yay!

Sorry about the whole temper thing, but I have had it up to here with noobs thinking they know how to run the game better than A-net. There's a reason they're game devolopers and your not. You just showed us it.

ya know its possible that somewhere in his head it was a decent idea. Not everyone can be articulate about what they desire. Bad idea most deffinately, but there isn't any need get hostile people.
