Alliance Prestige to buy Medals - pfft.

Very few "pro" comments to Alliance Prestige in my AC.  Many "con" comments, so I doubt this will be used in my alliance.

This is perhaps not such a good idea when you consider the amount of multiple accounts there are in this game.  I think it may lead to a move away from game play and place more accent on prestige control and income generation.  It is possible that you may develop a situation, in a sandbox context, where alliances are literally buying their way into higher rankings and enhanced status.

When I started playing there was this guy offering 1M gold to each player joining his new alliance.  With the prestige pool he could offer 1K prestige.

I agree with Starry but I would just like to add that having to pay Prestige for alliance medals just looks like a way to squeeze more money out of us depending on what the costs end up being. It could make alliance tournaments a more costly proposition if the alliance wants to use medals to award the winners.

I suppose you are correct.  I am sensing complaining in your post about complaining.  Still, this could just be me reading into the text.

Quackers, Often times we read into the text what we ourselves feel.  If I said "Thank you very much" than you might read this in different ways.  You may read it sarcastic, or you may read it as someone who feels indebted to another and is grateful for some help given.  There could be any number of ways to read into the text what we are feeling as we read it.  The problem comes from communication barriers.  We cannot hear the other person's speech or see their facial expressions.  So whereas you are hearing complaining, I am hearing legitimate questions and responses to potential problems presented.  I appreciate all the responses as well as Luna clarifying how this will work out. 

With the deepest humility, thank you very much.

There will be a limit so that you cannot donate your last 25 prestige to prevent the temptation of account farming that Rill described. 

Thanks for your feedback and keep it coming!

Luna



Then what is to stop them from just waiting one day, get their 1 free prestige and then donating 25 prestige. etc.


Well if they cannot donate their last 25 prestige, then if they wait one day they can only donate 1 prestige. Really stop complaining already. I'm shocked the developers want to give us anything with all the complaining people do.
