Game & Event Hosts

There’s no easy solution here, as some people want to give all prizes to hosts while others strongly disagree. I’m very mindful of avoiding a situation like what happened with vouchers where prizes became meaningless because anyone who hosted a single game could obtain them all for free.

While no final decision has been made, XieToo raised a solid point: hosts can still participate in games during events when they’re not actively hosting, and they can also buy or trade prizes with other members or acquire them through the auction. If a host were running games for 24 hours straight, it would be a different story but outside of their hosting shifts, they have the same opportunities to win prizes as everyone else.

The idea of providing hosts with separate, host only, event themed items is a much stronger and more sustainable approach.

@Gia I’ve explained a few times that offering gold as compensation would quickly create a surplus that would harm VZones financial viability. This cannot happen if we want to protect the stability and longevity of VZones.

We are currently burning around 1200V per week. If we continue at this rate we would get to a point where host voucher rewards are valued more and less of a need for additional host rewards.
