[EDIT] Please close/deny this. Matthew made it clear they're not bringing it back.
To moderator/admins: Before denying or accepting this suggestion, please fully read it and at least consider it, and think about it in everyone's perspective for a few minutes. Thank you.
To lower confusion and be more descriptive, I have rewritten this suggestion in FAQ mode.
Why is this needed?
Many people are not allowed to sell anything for any amount of money while using any method of payment; usually forbidden by their parents. Parents however do not mind their dying in bounty hunter, because I bet they don't even know what it is.
How will this help?
This will boost donation amounts.
Who will accept the GP? Who will sell it?
The GP will be transferred by trusted gold sellers, such as R2Pleasent. The gold sellers could either purchase the gold at bulk pricing, and write down the donor's name and donation amount, or they could simply take it from them and resell it, and donate that money in the donor's name to Sythe.
What is the risk?
The gold could be lost in the bounty hunter, which is not really anyone's fault. I doubt this will happen often though as long as the gold sellers handling the trade are experienced. Also, if the gold sellers are required to sell the gold and donate the full pricing to Sythe instead of the Bulk purchase pricing and keeping it for themselves, they might get "chargebacked" on payments if they use Paypal, but that already happens with money donations, and can be avoided when taking precautions.
How will someone qualify to do this job?
Similar to the official middleman process, they must provide evidence of previous gold trades, and so on.
What would be the profit?
Either bulk gold pricing, or full gold pricing based on the "market price" of gold at that time. (Usually $4-6M, and $2-3M for bulk)
If the experienced gold seller buys in bulk, he'll pay the donation money out of his own pocket. No "fees" with this method.
If the experienced gold seller sells the gold for full pricing, he'll pay the donation money once the gold sells. To encourage this method, the gold seller could take a percentage as transferring "fees".
The donor will be credited with the donation.
What about the donor "Rankings"? What will be the value per million GP in money?
The donor ranking will display the gold amount donated, NOT a real life money amount.
But it's hard... It'll take forever... They'll die!
No, no and no. Experienced sellers have high level accounts they can put the money on; therefore making it easier and faster.
Now, please put a * in the beginning of your reply to verify you have an IQ above 1 and read the thread before replying. Leave it out and you will be considered an ignorant fool.
