Yes. If a person has to pay to rent a place and buy a trophy from a crafter. The number of events will stay under control. If it is free we will have to wade through "fake" or "useless" events to try and find the real ones.

That remains to be seen. I would estimate, even if it costs money the total events would be more with a system than there are now. But I am just guessing.

Compared to what? If you are comparing to current events that is not a fair comparison. If you compare a free system to a paid system I would say you are kidding yourself if you do not think the events will be better organized, more subtantial and have an overall better quality in a paid system.

Yes. That is exactly the point.

Let me ask you this. Is the social aspect of a RL sporting event or concert gone because the promoter makes money?

If an org makes money out of an event, even if its 5% I dont think the motives behind it are very trustworthy
And in the end, who, I ask u, will profit from it? You or me? Or will it be MA? |
The goal should be that everyone gains.
MA profits, those who put on the event profit, and those who attend are entertained. Profits only make the scale of potential events larger. As you profit you can build bigger and bigger events.

You can be a non-profit promoter then. Just keep what it costs you. And, I disagree with this statement. Again, a dance party IRL serves a purpose and ppl make money off of it.

Life doesn't cost money to play. Yet ppl are still here.

If they made the items used in crafting certain high end trophies they could be pretty nearly unique.
In summary, I see this as a potential boon to the economy. If implemented correctly we can not only have an event system that everyone enjoys but we can also create commerce and more professions.
I think we need to face the reality that
MA is not going to spend tons and tons of time implementing a great system if they cannot profit from it. Therefore, we should propose how we want to see it implemented.
