[WoW] Grizzly McBankBeard's Money Making competition

[Haven]

Tis a terrible state of affairs, Bank Alts going bust and being bought out by Higher level banking characters. Inflation rife due to underhand tactics, imminent expansions and an uncertainty of the economic future.

In these trying financial times can you out bank the competition ?

[ooc]

The What:
This is a competition to run for one week starting this Saturday mid day, the aim is to finish with more gold than the competition.

The How:
Players must start with a level 1 character, they will be given 10 gold and a week to turn that gold into as much money as they possibly can.

The Incentive:
The winning character gets ALL the money made by all characters during the competition.

Rules:

• One character per person
• Characters must start and finish on 0XP
• Screenshots of the characters bags will decide the winner
• 10 gold entrance fee to be handed to a named character prior to the event starting and then given out to your bank character
• Money may only be made using the trade channel and the auction house i.e. no begging or donations allowed - anyone caught cheating automatically forfeits.
• Other characters/players may not interfere in the game in any way i.e. no deliberate manipulation of the AH or Trade to help competitors
• Check Point screenshots will be taken on Monday, Wednesday and Friday as close to 6pm as possible. These will be made public and will allow everyone to see how they are doing compared to the competition.
• All and any addons that you deem fit are allowed.
• Only THN members welcome i.e. only those we trust to keep things fair.

Do you have what it takes to impress Grizzly McBankBeard ?

Hmm... a nice idea, but surely we need some kind of control for how long people can actually spend online. How about some kind of ratio system? Screen shot of bag contents divided by screen shot of time played on character? What's that? Too complex?

 

[Haven]

yeah thats too complex

A week to make some money and time spent "playing the market" doesn't always equate to profits gained so it will be interesting to see how those with more time fare, but I'm not going to consider it an unfair advantage.

So for those with less time to spend you just need to spend it more wisely.

Haven, You cannot go from the new character area, to the closest auction house, without gaining XP... so uhm, everyone would forfeit.

 

[Haven]

We shall have friendly warlock summonage to take care of that, stop doubting me ! Any XP gained from discovering a new area whilst summoned will be acceptable.

Well I've made over 4k from nothing but that's taken a few months

I won't be here on Sat sadly

 

[Haven]

You will be able to start after mid-day on Saturday if that is the only way you can join in. Obviously it will handicap you a little but that doesn't mean you are not welcome to join.

Does it have to be a horde character? I feel like gnomes are the biggest bankers...

Okay scratch that. Moneygrubber reporting for duty (Moneygrubber T. Skinflint, if you want to be formal...)

I wont put myself into this. I think its a great idea , but its not really fair when i have a book next to me listing average prices , profit made , etc , etc.
I have a massively unfair advantage.
But ,if i can help in any other way , then im happy to help

Also, the 'Characters must start and finish on 0XP' won't be possible... you gain about half a level running to the capital city through exploration.
