Does this idea have potential? (crosspost from reddit)

Hi all! <3

 

-As we all know, tons of new (and returning) players recently joined this game! :D Sadly, they need to farm/grind alot of gold to catch up to older players. (Living story, griffon, ascended gear etc.)

-I would like to organise a big hero point run through all Heart of Thorns (except DS :D) and Path of Fire maps in a row. This would benefit newer players, returning players and players with alts!

-All tips would go to a giveaway for new players to help them catch up to us without all the grinding. As a bonus I would play it without any equipment, and every time I die I have to add 50-100g to the giveaway.

 

-So: Does this idea have potential and if so, do you have any suggestions to make it more interesting? (^ -^)

Plenty of players and guilds run such things all the time, so you'll find takers. You wont need any gimmick though. unless you really want one

Which gimmick, the giveaway or the naked thing? :P

I think the giveaway would be a nice way to help some newer players, while everyone doing the HP run would benefit as well. Also, many players like giving stuff to new players but I know most of them don't want to walk around starter maps to give everyone they see free money. ;)

The naked thing is just for fun and to make sure I contribute too xd.

Even without that bonus, it seems like a reasonable thing to give a shot to. Let us know how it pans out! (I'd suggest a post in the community events forum here, as well as reddit, to advertise it.)

I guess I'll crosspost it to the community events too, if people want me to do this I'll make another post with more details (date, time etc.) :)
