My Lands: Black Gem Hunting

I would like you to add a new feature allowing players to sell artifacts to other players.

Create a black market where I can place an artifact up for sale for black gems.

1) Would create a more active exchange of black gems over the server.
2) Would help to eliminate the power gap
3) Gives players with a smaller budget a fighting chance.
4) Stronger players can remove all of their useless artifacts, giving them black gems to spend on other things.

Result = More money for the owners of this game AND a better gaming experience.

How about to put Cristals and RUNE's to the market? For gold or BG?

Points 2 and 3 makes no sense to me. Players with good level 4 and 5 artifacts will never sell it and no serious buyer (except multiboxers) will buy useless artifacts.... C'mon! Is this a suggestion for "multiboxers" to transfer perls to main account buying useless artifacts???

For all you know there are people waiting to buy something that you are more than willing to discard.

Another plus to this suggestion (and I am making an assumption here - Because it has not been detailed by NightChill) - The BG credited would go into the players account (and not in credit with trader) which can be used more constructively (Building Upgrades - Purchasing of in-game service / scrolls etc.)...

Personally - I would like to explore this possibility, I waited for more than a year for an artifact to come to the trader to complete my set. My ally had two of them. I was sure I wanted that artifact - And my ally was equally sure of wanting to put the second artifact to better use than letting it accumulate dust in the vault. An example of win-win situation.

As far as multi-boxing is concerned - The problem exists and will continue to do so. Also don't forget that for BG transfer to happen you need to purchase those BG via the options provided by the admin (Credit Card / PayPal etc). The admin will have their share no matter who the transacting parties are.

Crystals and runes are also up for sale by players in exchange for a host of things - Help In Quests / Gold for auctions / Faction Points / Experience for Hero / Protection / BGs as Gift. A 4* players will pay a 5* so that a joint attack is arranged and the 4* player gets the rune...Same set-up for crystals...

Making it legal and available for in-game purchase will only benefit the admin.

Your views seem very short sighted to me.
This idea done correctly should stimulate the use of more black gems, make the game more enjoyable, and create a healthier server.

I have 10 useless artifacts sitting in my vault. Top players have 20 or more. Many of those artifacts are useless to them and gold to others. I would be willing to trade ALL of my artifacts. 95% of artifacts players own are received randomly, not by choice.

Why would you not sell artifacts even if they are higher levels ? So you can use them to perfect other artifacts...yes, but would some players not also want those black gems put towards artifacts of their choosing, buildings, tournaments, scrolls, vacation, etc.... The answer is YES. This idea would allow a player to purchase the exact artifact they want for a better price.

Your multiboxing point is valid and concerning. I've obviously already considered this. We all know who the multiboxers are. They are out there and their is a tone of them from the top to the bottom in ranking. They are not going anywhere. My idea will change little for them. They already do joint attacks with all of their accounts. They already have full use of the artifacts. Placing them on one hero makes little difference. The game mind as well benefit from this and make money on the exchange.

The admin cant do anything about multiboxers playing within the limitations of the rules and neither can we. Why should we throw away a positive idea because of them. I will just do the same as before. Ignore the multiboxers and taunt them for being cheaters.

This idea is about the overall benefit to the server and creating a better gaming experience for the real gamers, not the multiboxers.

Im honestly not even sure why I bother anymore

I come up with all kinds of ideas, most are not even acknowledged anymore weither they are good or bad.

Good ideas can come out of bad suggestions and mistakes. But without conversing or direct access to the game owners that isnt even possible. Arbash is suppose to be our link to them. At this point I doubt anything even reaches their ears.

Hard to stay positive and productive when customers see so little of the process/product.

...Side note. Why do some of the top players know about changes before they happen ?
I've seen the proof
