Toribash
Original Post
USD Tickets
Okay so this idea came to me randomly today. Personally I don't have a paypal because I don't need one and a lot of other players on TB, including younger players, don't have access to paypal either. I've also seen cases where players from other countries didn't have paypal where they were from and couldn't make transactions to buy things that required it.

BUT! There is one form of payment that everyone has access to, Steam. So this is the idea I had to make it both safer and easier for money transactions on Toribash. Put a few new items in the store labeled as such.

-$1 Ticket
-$5 Ticket
-$10 Ticket
-$25 Ticket
-$50 Ticket

Now you're probably asking why we're adding these items, well its simple. Currently with the torishop players have the option to pay for things through steam, you can use your steam wallet to purchase things on toribash from the store only. There is also no transaction fee to move funds like this, so players won't be losing money every time they send someone money for something. With these tickets players could also send them to admins for things such as this. This basically gives younger kids and people without access to paypal a way to get money into the game and purchase things with it that they couldn't afford by earning TC.

P.S. By forcing the currency of trade from paypal back to in-game money you make it less possible for people to scam TC, sell it via paypal, and then disappear with admins only being able to ban the account that they didn't care about anyways.

Also for any concerts about hackers getting into your account and taking your tickets then refer to this thread.

Sure, it's a good option for children to start experimenting with our economy and all, but will anyone asking for USD actually want to take these Steam$ items? I'm skeptical.

Thats more of a personal issue, games aren't meant to be a form of income in the first place. There are instances of people being able to gain decent in-come off some games, but thats just due to their own luck and skill. When playing a game you should already be in the mentality that once you spend money on the game its gone, not "I can earn it back later". Remember that a games soul purpose is entertainment, if you want to make money then you should be working a job, not playing a game. Want the best of both worlds? Then go stream or do youtube with your games, simple as that.
