Transferring money and items suggestion

[Prudence]

I'm a little confused on this, so I voted no. But maybe I'm not sure what Grumpykitty is saying or how you are saying it.

You're suggestion kind of goes against the forum rules, so I'm needing further clarification.

The rules are:

Game Rules

These rules are for anything grid related.

[1] No using multiple owned characters for the same purpose, or to aid your own characters

Basically, if you own two or more characters, these characters should never help one another, or help the same person within a short space of time.*

This includes -- but is not limited to -- giving all your in-game money (from two of your characters) to one character; coin washing; healing or tactically aiding one target with two characters; scouting with one character to find an enemy of your other character; driving up an alt's bounty purely for the purpose of giving money; using two or more characters to attack the same person**; using an alt to attack the enemy of another of your character's allies; using your own lair to protect two or more of your own characters. Alternate characters that exist purely for one purpose (such as gaining money for a friend, or tracking for a friend) are also frowned upon.

Having said all of that, there is no way you could know for sure who owns which character, so while it might be illegal for you to heal the same target with two of your characters, healing two characters who happen to be owned by the same person will not be considered cheating.

Note: If it even looks as though two of your characters are acting in unison, one or both of your characters will be punished. I cannot accept any excuses such as "my house mate / daughter has a character and they give eachother money", simply put, two characters who share the same IP address (internet connection) or live in the same house will be considered alternate characters. No excuses. This also means you can't use an alt (or your husband's character) to give coins to one of your allies, for example. This will also be penalised, and excuses will be ignored.

Using proxies or other IPs to get around this will be frowned upon if you start to help out other characters who are considered your own alts, according to the above definition.

What specifically are you looking to change or do away with? Everything? It's been that way for six years, so I doubt David would just get rid of it all.

Money?
Weapons?
Properties?-I actually wouldn't be adverse to this one...because I've deleted properties and would have loved to give them to another character. Or have gone to david over karma owned properties and switched it to another character (years ago, mind). So I'd be okay with that one if it was a karma bought item.
Loot?

I'm looking at what you would like change and your line of thought, other than...my character makes a lot of money, but my other sucks at it. All of us run into that problem. Example: Liz is my oldest character on path, followed by Prudence, then Enver. Enver has triple the money, almost quadruple Pru and Liz has. But, he's stated that way. It's how things work.

Can you provide some clarification, please?

From what I understand, with properties if they're karma bought, David would transfer them from one character to another. I know he doesn't do it for coin purchased ones - I've asked.

As for anything else? No, I don't think that it should be that way. Path has been this way for six years, and the fact it isn't pay to win makes me happy. My characters have had to work to the point they are with both cash and weaponry for the most part. There has been aid, but that's what team building is for. Same with development. I agree that it would definitely be alt aiding, which is against our rules as quoted above.

If it's a matter of something that can only be purchased with Karma, I am cool with the idea of something being transferable. If it's for anything else such as items or money, then I'd have a problem with that.

If this game were a continuous play MMORPG, where you can actively be moving a character 24/7, then I wouldn't have an issue with it because then a person could just be on any account and be equally likely to get certain loot or cash. However, because Path has limited energy used at a time, the way a character uses that energy (I.E. to get loot or cash), is unique to that character, their build etc. So not only would it be unfair to new players for older players to be able to transfer huge amounts of items and cash to a new alt, it just plain doesn't seem like a good idea.

I have made a suggestion to David once about karma -- it'd be nice to be able to move karma around, and have a linked karma account just as our character accounts are now linked for easy switching. If all karma bought went into one fund and we could use it on whatever character we liked, that would be fun.

As for items and such accumulated on grid, like coin and loot, I can understand why there's boundaries in place to keep it from happening. The game would be overrun with 'coin alts' like RBC has.

I wouldn't mind karma being transferred without me having to hassle David to move it for me at all. It'd probably be less troublesome for him, truthfully.

And yes, I definitely agree with the coin alt analogy. Do not need.

I'd love that. Most the time if/when I buy karma I get on liz and then I find later I need it on Enver or someone else and go...ugh. Being able to transfer karma from a character you own to another would be awesome

[Azraeth]

My preference, since karma can't be transfered now between players (I. E. You can't pay someone IG currency for karma), would for there to just be one big karma bank shared by all accounts on the same IP. That would be the easiest thing to me, and create the least amount of work for David to have to do over and over again (Such as doing the transfers himself).

[Lancaster]

Well, IP wouldn't work.

We've had issues in the past with people accidentally ending up on each other's lists because they use the same public internet. The suggestion I had was that it would be somehow connected to how all our characters are linked -- the way we're easily able to flick between them without having to log in and out. One fund, that services all connected characters.

[Roderic]

What chloe said. For a long time, for some odd reason...I was linked to claire. I have never been to where she lives and vice versa. We live in opposite countries...so yeah. yet somehow Levi and all mine were linked. I'd be very mad to have say...hundreds of karma on me and find it to have none.

I like that suggestion.
