Addition to the Tower- Nightfall Mercenaries
You walk past the crucible handler and take a right around the corner and arrive at the nightfall recruitment center. Those that have completed the weeks nightfall can talk to an npc and enter a matchmaking process to get linked with somebody who needs help with the nightfall.
Those that need help can approach this npc and pay 500 glimmer upfront to hire somebody to help them through the week's nightfall.
Upon completion a sum of 5500 glimmer is paid to the merc that helped (can be refused by the merc) and the merc is also awarded with 250 reputation points.
--------------
If this was a reality I would run people through the nightfall all the time. Good rep bonus, I'd refuse the glimmer payment and I help people all the time anyways so this would make it easy to find people to help.
If it is just me that likes this idea that's cool but if you think it would be a cool addition to the game please upvote and bump.
Also if you have any criticisms or suggestions I will definitely take a look and refine the idea with a consideration towards the feedback.
------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I will list some concerns that people bring up so that we can try and figure them out.

There should be some sort of qualification to become a merc. My thought is maybe they should need to be no more than one level below the current level cap. For example the current lvl cap is 32 so the merc must be either 31 or 32.

There would need to be some form of troll prevention. A couple people have also offered this concern and I definitely think it is a pretty big one. I'm not sure the best way to take care of it. My first thought is to allow a merc 2 failures per week so that the few people that are trolling get booted before they can ruin too many peoples strikes. suggestions welcome.

There might be a problem with the customer just going afk. Not too sure how big of a problem it would be or how to fix it.

7 RepliesSounds like a good idea. Would they already have two people or be able to hire 2 mercs? Or would it just be you and the "client" so to speak. And that would be quite expensive to get a couple ascendant energies(because nightfalls are always SO rewarding) if the 5000 glimmer came from the player and not the bounty robot or whatever. Also, I'd hope there wouldn't be a penalty if they had to leave before completion. Emergencies/girlfriends moodiness happens after all. Anyway, great way for helpful people to have another outlet to help while also being rewarded
