Suggestion No Banker Profession

[Jonsoon]

The Banker profession was talked about in the server meeting. I had recommended that instead of a profession, that town bankers should be used again. This attracted a lot of players attentions in the meeting with a lot of "Good idea"'s.

There should be rank command in Hero Towns that will grant one appointed player the skills that would be used for the banker profession. Namely the 'liquidate' skill, or whatever the equivalent may be.

With this idea we will be avoiding a flood of players choosing the banker profession and idiotic competitive pricing of gold ingots which will land with bankers buying for 8.99c in the first day, gaining no profit.
In turn we will be encouraging fair, competitive prices between towns, and encouraging players to join towns to maybe receive a better rate. Not to mention that this will help towns earn money.

This suggestion will do no such thing. You just need to look at the history of the server to realize this, every map since Sanctum has had an influx of stupid people who keep elevating the buy price to stop others buying gold. Just because you can limit who can convert the gold into coin doesn't mean that will stop others buying the gold for them.

tl;dr This will change nothing.

I dont think towns need any assistance earning coin. It's the lazy towns that die out / get abandoned. They don't go out because of monetary issues - they go out because the majority stop playing or they join other townships.
