Hello.
I would like to suggest the implementation of a PvP Tournament event with official betting mechanism. I will first explain the tournament system and then the gambling mechanism.
A. PvP Tournament Participation Requirements
- Character should be a 3rd Job or Transcendent
- Level 200/70
The base of the PvP Tournament Battleground's KVM (Kreiger Von Midgard) game mode, best of three for each round. KVM is a 5v5 or 3v3 group battle with the objective of killing the entirety of the other team. It will be held in a simple square map with no objects to encourage clashes.
The tournament will be viewable by anyone by livestream.
B. Betting Mechanism
This is just a basic idea, feel free to tweak with better suggestions if any. I'm not a gambler at all so I'm not fully sure of the details...
In this event, any player (NON-CONTESTANTS) can freely bet and watch the event. In essence, there will be an NPC where viewers can deposit zeny to place bets on a team. The NPC will also tell you the betting details of each team. You can place bets every round and get your winnings at the end of each rounds.
This is a system made to encourage participation from the general public and foster interest in the PvP scene.
C. Conclusion
Through this event, I hope that the non-PvP players as well as PvP player will have a space to have fun. The competitors can compete, while the gamblers can watch and maybe get interested in PvP as well.
I can't think of a cons except for maybe a need to prevent game fixing.
That's really all the idea I have at the moment. Feel free to pitch in more ideas. Thanks!
