If their is one thing in torn that can be almost universally agreed on, its that faction scamming is a dick move. I think a new vault system should be implemented to help counteract this. I propose that the leader of the faction can give vault permission to xyz people, these people are able to take and give as much as they want. Everyone else is only able to take as much as they have given. So if i put 1m in the faction vault, then i can only take 1m out. Leaders and people with the unlimited drawing permission are still able to give as normal.
Hopefully this will help stop faction scamming. Its about time something was done to be able to stop this.
Edit: I forgot to consider the fact that balances may be skewed depending on if something is taken out. Thus i would like to edit this post to also accommodate non banking vaults. A permission to not be able to draw anything be included.
The dude who scammed your faction was a long time co-lead, and thus trusted with access, as explained in the GD thread OP. This change would change absolutely nothing for you.
It’s a good idea to start with
Abousulitly true. Besides its done now so noy much we can do about it. However most fsctions that get scammed is people newer to it wantinf to make a quick buck. I think it would be beneficial to everyone. Whats in the past is done, im doing all i can to remedy it, but id rather make sure it doesn't happen again. That way at least our efforts arnt in vain.
This kind of thing has been suggested before and if I recall correctly it was declined as an option given that the faction banking system, whilst used this way for most factions, is not meant to be an alternative to the personal vaults or cayman island banking.
By introducing a method that allows all users to withdraw what they put in your are effectively making the use of the high-end property vaults worth a bit less value since the only reason to upgrade to them would then be for the happiness bost rather than a safe location to store your money, whilst also removing some of the desire to want to get one.
I'm sorry but whilst I am a faction leader that allows our members to store funds in the faction and having something like your suggestion implemented would make a little less work for me when someone wants a withdrawal from the faction vault this is not a suggestion I can back as it devalues another aspect of the game.
Best of luck
Thanks for the info mate. That was why i added the perm to not allow any withdrawals. But i see your point in devaluing the vaults. I am unsure if i can change the name of my thread to vault instead of banking, in hindsight it seemed like a better name due to 4 of my 5 fsctions us it for banking. What would you suggest to make this more balanced for the game, whilst also lowering faction scams?
I wonder if it is possible to make it a 2 person system, as a choice. If you want to take more then X amount out of the faction you need a second person with perms to authorize it.
You can have just the lead and co-lead permed but
A)limits a faction(?)
B)they can still run away with the funds having complete access
Thoughts?
Their is no way to completely stop this. However if you know you can trust some people in your faction, then only giving them perms to authorize and take out money for the faction, then it negates the risk. Ex: you and kui. CD trusts yall, and yall already help him alot. If someone wanted to draw money out, yall would see who they where, and why they wanted it before giving access.
