Donate / Favor / Emblem COMPENDIUM THREAD OF WIN!

This thread has changed substantially due to an (awesome) 10/6/11 update, allowing Glitches to spend Emblems to speed up skill learning as well as select specific amounts of items to donate.  Thanks Tiny Speck!

Search the word "Donate" in the search box.  Go ahead, I'll wait..................  currently, 16 PAGES of threads.  We need a place to house all those suggestions, to keep the matter organized and straightened out, but also to prove the necessity of revamping the system.

I've taken the liberty of compiling a few threads on/related to the whole Shrine system.  Some of these threads aren't exact, but it would take too much time to sort through all 16 pages.

-----------------------------------

Added to game on 10/6/11 - Spending Emblems to speed up learning a skill - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/4241/ - A lot of us have accidentally over-donated, and wish we could turn those Emblems back in.

-

Added to game on 10/6/11 - Selecting how many items to Donate - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/6627/ - and - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/8666/ - Not being able to fine-tune our Donations is a joke, and is a primary cause of over-donation!  Needed for feedin' and giftin' as well!

-

"Confirmation" safety check before Donating items - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/8521/ - That one also mentions a confirmation on gifting single items/valuable items, but the primary concern is a confirmation when Donating.  I donated my FHSP the other day, not cool.  Also seen here - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/7821/

-

Item stack "splitting" - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/8470/ - We can now choose how many items to Donate at the Shrine, but this would still be nice for inv management.

-

Giant Favor page - http://www.glitch.com/forum/ideas/1434/ - Going to each Shrine to have a look is a pain!

-----------------------------------

Other suggestions I couldn't find threads for / suggestions that have been added to this thread:

Allow us to Donate Currants.  I realize high-level players could donate monies all day long, so have the Favor value of a C decrease as you level.

-

This is a big one for me personally, tell us how much Favor a donation will generate AT a confirmation window.  I suck at math something fierce, and this one kills me.  This would also help out new Glitches running the quest to earn 23 Favor from 5 Shrines.

 -----(Hopefully) More to Come-----

Please, Glitches, contribute to this thread!  I know that many Glitches have been upset with the current Shrine system and believe it needs to be revamped!

  • There are a couple of new changes that just came down that address some of those points.
    1) Emblems can be spent toward skill learning
    2) There's now a text input quantity selector.

  • I think donating currants directly would take away some of the sport of hunting for auction bargains and donating them.  Plus it increases economic activity when the money has to be transferred to another player before it disappears from the game.

    Buying stuff to donate is the functional equivalent of donating currants, and you aren't limited to how much stuff you can buy, so it's pretty close to the system you suggest...only a bit more like a game!

  • @ Biff, that's a pretty fair point.  I would still like to cut out the middleman, but your point about economic activity is quite valid.
