Blade & Soul’s Loot Auction System Is The Best
Thu Jun 14, 2018 12:27 am
Whenever a high quality item drops in a dungeon, an auction window pops up listing the bns gold that were found. The game then goes down the list one item at a time, offering players a chance to bid in-game money on the gear in a timed auction.
If the item is something a players wants, he or she can enter a bid and the timer starts over. Other plays can then enter their own bids, and each time a higher bid is made, the timer restarts again. This goes on until either the group finally allows the timer to run out or until everyone else passes on the auction.
The player who won the bid gets the item, and the money they spent on it is divided amongst the rest of the group. In the event that no one places a bid, the item is destroyed and cheapest bns gold cash value is distributed to the group.
What makes this system so interesting is that it allows players who do not receive an item to still get some sort of compensation in the form of in-game currency.
In many other MMOs, if a player loses out on an item in a dungeon, they can end up leaving with nothing. While many players may prefer winning the item they want over getting a few extra coins, the payout is a nice consolation prize, and the higher someone outbids you, the more money you will get out of it in the end.
The auction also makes the in-game currency more meaningful, something that many MMOs, including World of Warcraft, struggle with.
For example, World of Warcraft has continued to introduce new “gold sinks” as ways to remove large sums of money from the game. Essentially, a gold sink is any item or service where the in-game currency paid is removed from the game rather than transferred to another player. This includes armor repair costs, profession recipes, auction house fees, and so on.
But even with all of those gold sinks, wealth in World of Warcraft has become more or less meaningless at higher levels, as there are few mandatory costs involved in the game.
Blade & Soul has its own gold sinks as well, but the loot auction system means that even if in-game currency becomes more widely available, it will never become meaningless, especially at higher levels.
