[QUOTE="Jer, post: 8599543, member: 19857"] Thanks - I hate it. Taking the "pay someone to grind your character" from MMORPGs and applying it to D&D? Wut? The money goes into their pockets, of course. The answer to the question "what could be worse than a company paying wages in company scrip?" The experience of playing someone else's character? Thanks but I can write-up Drizzt Do'Urden myself if I want to do that. Feature not a bug! How would the money go into their pockets if those protections were in place? Or the even more dubious game structure of "making a high level character and pretending you've advanced it through play". Because why actually play a character through those levels to sell them if you can just make up stories about their exploits and pretend like you played a game? (Bonus - you can use the same stories for a whole party of characters - make 6-8 characters at a time that way!) I think it's more operating on the assumption that people who buy NFTs would think that people who play D&D would want to do that. These grifts are all about taking money from people who want to buy NFTs for their resale value - con them and you have a market. Because "exploiting creators to put money into our own pockets" didn't focus group well as part of Phase 1. [/QUOTE]
