PvP Staking

Sewyr

Basically people fight for money. Each can place an amount of gold and they have a duel. Winner takes all. Ofcourse, this should only be possible in a specific area so that you can see ur opponent's level. You should also be able to toggle fight options such as no CP, no potions, no legendary armor etc... and if both players agree the fight starts.

Do you think this would make sense in this game? I like it because 1) adds another way of making money if u have skills 2) might make more people want to learn pvp 3) maybe reduce the load a little from Cyrodiil?

Would you guys want to see this? If yes, what suggestions would you give. If not, why not?

(This is from Runescape, and its quite popular & fun in that game. I can see the same popularity happening in this game)

How many PVP players are drowning in gold? That said I have seen people willing to pay people to duel them hanging around way shrines, so maybe the idea could generate some interest.


People can already duel to their hearts content closest I have seen to your idea is guild run competitions with prizes.


You kind of already have this in the Imperial city with taking Tel var off defeated players.


As for those toggles you speak of, gold weapons/armor/CP level/Potions/poisons anyone with enough gold can deck themselves out in all that, it won't make them the greatest PVP player without the skill to back it up.

I think this number is higher than you would expect. Most PVP players I know are extremely wealthy.

Well it doesnt need to be gold that is staked, it can be AP, unduaunted keys, gold, crystals, or key fragments? Maybe a new currency?
In my eyes there is potential

We need bookies.

Awesome idea, if BG would work right i would actually love the option on putting money down on a jackpot.

Why does this sound like the sand casino? Did the crab army come to eso?

PvPlers have a lot of money. 100k AP -> Dawnprism about 19k Gold, 5k Tel Var -> Hakeijo about 15k Gold. Getting 100k AP is easy and 5k tel Var is as well. I have over 20 Mio AP placed on my bank I could turn them into Gold in a few hours, since it doesn't take very long till Dawn Prism and Hakeijo get selled.

Just two weeks ago I selled 20 Dawnprism in 2 hours for 20k each. Thats 400k Gold in just 2 hours I would call that a great hourly wage.

This is in Runescape, yes. However most people hate it due to it *** over poor players, that then buy bonds to sell, to then stake.

Same here with crowns. Same here with the scams and exploits.



So my opinion........ Awww HELLL NAW.

I'm a PvP player that currently sits around 10 million, any smart player regardless of focus isn't broke. It isn't cheap to change your build every 3 months so I'm also in 3 top tier trading guilds. A broke player isn't going to be able to sustain the millions in gold needed to be a successful PvP player with the constant nerfs and rebuilds you have to do on your characters every quarter, not to mention all the potions and Artaeum Takeaway Broth I go through, Mother of Pearl isn't cheap bud!
