Players charging for 'guaranteed' Lighthouse runs
Edit: Thanks guys, I get that I spelled guaranteed wrong I've fixed it now...
I know this has been happening from the beginning of trials and I'm SURE it's very lucrative with some people 'charging' upwards of $120 or more to carry total scrubs to the lighthouse (I was watching a stream where I'm surprised the guy being carried could even complete PvE content, he was charging $80 per card and some unknown higher amount if you wanted insurance just in case you had to wipe a card once which would be another $80 without that extra amount up front).
I'm torn on this issue, people have been making money or benefiting from the inadequacies of people that can't do something from the beginning of time. But, this 'service' they are providing kind of seems wrong to me.
What are all of you fine guardian's opinions? Please elude without incriminating yourself if you are someone that gets paid upwards of $800-$1,600 per week (split between the two carrying the nubs). If they only charge $80 and on average a trials run without wipe takes an hour that would be the same as someone making roughly $84,000 if it is an equal split between the two doing the carrying and that is what they did 40 hours a week (Trials lasts for roughly 96 hours; so, if there is a steady flow of individuals that are desperate to go to the light house you could make the bi-weekly wage of an upper-middle income individual in just one trials weekend...)

Who cares If someone is desperate enough to pay for this then let them. Honestly I'm rather jealous that I'm not into this games PVP enough to be able to carry people through ToO and make money for simply playing a video game for an hr.
-
If people are paying someone upwards of a hundred dollars to get somewhere in a game, there is something wrong with them. Does this game really mean so much to you that you are paying people to carry you . Those people need to reevaluate your life honestly.

What's the clause regarding getting banned for cheating? :) im guessing no refunds!
-
Wish I could pvp well enough to make some easy money off suckers :)
-
Whoever is stupid enough to pay then I say let them get on with it lol. [spoiler]never cost me nothing :)[/spoiler]
-
How people spent their money is not my concern or any of my business.
-
You know? with some players it doesn't matter what gear and weapons they have they will still not be any good...
-
Capitalism. Video. Game. Capitalism And would Destiny crack down on it? Hire their elite task force for the job to go to the persons house and say "don't do that! Taking money from players is our job"?

Edited by Heinz Doofenshmirtz: 11/10/2015 1:50:38 PMWell if they're that retarded to buy flawless runs, let them be retarded. I could easily make money off of these retards if i was a douchebag

2 RepliesSome of our lads pas over there account details and then we log and go to end in there characters. Trials is fun but it's a bit dodgy IMO charging but your silly if you pay so. Anyway with no elemental burns you can get the weapons from packages, you don't need 9-0 unless you just want adept by your gun ??
-
2 RepliesLol at the 5%, you know it's trolling.
-
2 RepliesSo what if people charge, your a fool to pay, plenty of people carry for free to help others out. And just because one asshole charges 120$ for flawless doesn't mean anything, it just means you get to put that huge number up there to prove your point. I charge 700$ for flawless. See now you can put that some people charge up to 700$ in your post.

13 RepliesI bet I can't get one link as proof of someone charging money for lighthouse
-
4 RepliesThanks for letting me know folks are willing to pay upwards of 120 for a run.. will need to keep this in mind for next weekend when I help newbies :)
-
Hey man if someone is good enough to drag 1 or 2 players to the lighthouse and those players are WILLING to pay, then fudge it's cool by me. I'd never do it tho
-
1 ReplyThey should be spending their money on something that's cool and meaningful. You know, like e-cigs with sweet accessories.
-
1 ReplyI guess EVE Online would make you physically ill then.
-
1 ReplyI saw someone on the forums with a link for his twitch and i had ro follow him then donate a 2$ to be carried and i was like well duck thst
-
That's life my friend
-
Where there is demand people will supply. It's not people charging to blame, it's the absolute morons that pay for it.
-
1 ReplyShould not be allowed to be advertised on forums, reddit or lfg sites, but if you manage to set something up via other means then whatever.
-
14 RepliesIn the end, only idiots use money to get into a lackluster zone for shitty loot drops.
-
3 Repliesnah - i carry people through but i do it because i want them to get the gear not because i want money thats just daft
-
Spend your money how you want.
-
Why do you losers care they aren't cheating some people probably just want the damn grimoire card which is locked away from 9 teams of 3 virgins
