Totally, totally agreed. We explicitly disallow any use of QuestCompanions as a way of buying/selling virtual items or currency. We plan to police the site very heavily, and we will be reporting users to the game maintainers when necessary. The goal of the service is to be helpful to the users; allowing jobs like that will harm everyone involved.


That's not the only EULA violation you need to watch out for. I can see someone paying people to be their own personal gank squad in a PVP MMO. Depending on how things play out that could easily get people banned etc.

I still like the idea.


Agreed, there are definitely other uses of this that could be bad for the community. We're keeping an eye on how this is used and making sure that we're a positive, not a negative. As we say in the terms of service:
