Thought of these last night while trying to fall asleep… No idea how viable they are but…
1. You know how monsters in WoW have loot tables? As in they have a 1% chance to drop this, a 2% to drop that, etc… What if people could spend real world money to up their chances of certain items? Maybe have a premium account which comes with better chances… The people who have regular accounts or maybe even free accounts still have a chance… just not as good a chance, so people with lots of time on their hands still can compete with those with lots of money on their hands…
2. Completely unrelated, what if those with a premium account don’t suffer durability loss from death? How much would some raiders pay for that?
