Whiteboard
I think for this to happen, we need to decide how much one quest point is worth in terms of gold. Otherwise we may have inconsistent prices for objects sold in shops.

Reply from Dina: I wasn't envisioning selling the *same* items for either gold or qps, but rather of having some items purchasable via *only* questpoints. Though the idea of allowing both does seem appealing.
The approximate value we've been aiming for with quest points so far has been 1M per point. It's been a rocky road valuing them starting out, in part because we didn't start out with clear enough guidelines for their distribution, but it seemed like a reasonable point to aim for.
Arizhel: Interestingly, one of the best ways to *make* the price 1M per point... is to set it at that. As in sell a few QP's for that price. Unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of morts around so it's difficult to do it that way.
Dina: Yes, I had considered that, but discarded the idea partially for that reason. Also because I really wanted QPs to be something you earn, not something you can just buy. (Especially since we have such a backlog of gold from all of those years where gold wasn't really useful for anything.)

QUEST POINTS, wow, anyone want to say 1 sided world of high end gear? I understand the theory behind these points, but as is gear suck as diadem, arcanes, mems, and so on guess who is getting all the points, the same ppl who don't really need it. I would like to see a system where some of the fairly new people can actually get these points.
