Odd ways to pay...

I know it's been mentioned before, but is there anyone around who's willing to take artwork payment in the form of in-game currency, whether it be CoH Influence (Virtue, Heroside) or WoW Gold (Moonguard, Alliance)?


Where do we go from here?

I know several people are, but I forget exactly who. But I've seen it, so I know it's sometimes accepted.

Theres a few who do, the problem being trying to reach an agreement on what is an acceptable amount .

good luck to you , but I think you'll find the amounts of ingame currency needed to get folks intrest will likely be substantial

I tried this approach myself several months back. The initial amount quoted to me was 750 million inf.

So very worth it. Or not. Depends on the art quality.

750 Million INF. You know... I could probably...

... and be close to broke...

... but...

I dunno. While that doesn't seem like much when you compare it to the prices of RMTs, 750 Million represents a ton of work, gotten legitimately.

Still, it's nice to have a base guideline. I'll keep that in mind.


Where do we go from here?

I'd take in-game currency somewhere if I actually valued it, but I really don't. I'm totally open to bartering; I just need to be offered something I want, y'know?

That's what it comes down to, really.

"A favor for a favor."

Do you have something of value to the artist? If so, then use that to barter with. However, in-game currency (having no real-world value at all, despite the efforts of the gold farmers) is often not something I'd regard as valuable.

Helping me fix my bike? Yeah, that'd be VERY valuable.... if I were a sought-after artist. But you get the idea, yeah?

I assumed anyone going that route would start at 500 million and move up from there based on skill level and what your looking for .

Influence is such a niche thing , I can't eat it or buy stuff with it aside from in game and the amount of inf im getting for the work requested would have to make it more worthwhile then simply
searching for it online .

Which was why I mentioned it would have to be alot to get most folks intrest .
