I have a dream.
Freelance builder
Top notch builder available for 1-3 labour hours per day.
My rates are $120 per labour hour + $20 per 15 mins travelling (or part thereof).
My construction skill is currently XXX, my total labour points are XXX.
I will never build when under 90% motivation.
I am currently riding a pony.
The above would be displayed on my personal profile, and an advert would be placed in the relevant section of the forum.
Flaws i can see
1. Need to keep pace with the top level builders.
2. Travelling would be essential, meaning the best horse available must be mine.
3. The rates. Too high? Too low?
4. Although i claim not to build under 90% motivation, what is there to actually stop me (other than my word)
5. There is no upper limit between leaving a town and rejoining another one.
6. How do they pay me?
1 and 2 shouldn't be too much of a problem at the start of a new world. 3 can be tweaked until suitable. 4 is a matter of honour, integrity and trust (and knowing what construction points to roughly expect).
5 could be a problem. I've worked on rotation before and seen it exceed 16 hours. Can anyone enlighten me? Is it the same on all worlds?
6 is the real sticking point. Is the game specifically designed so we can't trade money/items directly with each other. If so, why?
Personally i'd find this style of play thoroughly enjoyable. The game won't be overrun with freelance builders because only the top players would acquire any work.
I'd keep levelling by working for XP during the day and nipping off to do my paid building tasks during the evening. The extra money would allow me to purchase more expensive items and boost my construction skill even further. The added boost would make my skills more appealing, and possibly allow me to raise my rates.
I've got plenty more to say on this subject, but would like to know answers to points 5 and 6 above first.
And remember, constructive criticism please. No pun intended.
