This is an awesome idea overall, but I think it goes without saying that you need to be very careful not to run afoul of an EULA. At what point does playing "with" the player become giving the player ingame items for real money? If you share quest rewards equally, you're probably OK, but what if the companion gives all of the gold rewards to the paying player? What if the companion runs them through a dungeon and gives them all the drops? At that point I think you're essentially selling the items for real money, which violates the EULAs. Tread carefully.
- daeken 14y agoTotally, totally agreed. We explicitly disallow any use of QuestCompanions as a way of buying/selling virtual items or currency. We plan to police the site very heavily, and we will be reporting users to the game maintainers when necessary. The goal of the service is to be helpful to the users; allowing jobs like that will harm everyone involved.
- Retric 14y agoThat's not the only EULA violation you need to watch out for. I can see someone paying people to be their own personal gank squad in a PVP MMO. Depending on how things play out that could easily get people banned etc. I still like the idea.
- daeken 14y agoAgreed, there are definitely other uses of this that could be bad for the community. We're keeping an eye on how this is used and making sure that we're a positive, not a negative. As we say in the terms of service: > If you're not sure if something is acceptable or not, please contact support and ask us. At the end of the day, remember what Bill and Ted told us in their adventures: Be excellent to each other, and party on.
