IMO, there should be more than just 3 ways of making forum gold.
I like the idea of ladder slasher, how you can kill stuff and get items to sell for fg. Some people don't have the time to get to the necessary levels to kill anything that will drop anything of value though.
I think it would be awsome if there was a couple other ways for newer members to earn a small amount of forum gold.
A few examples:
1v1 Connect Four games.
Two people can get together in a room and play a game of connect four, the winner gets a forum gold prize (sometimes small, like 1-5 fg)
1v1 Tic-Tac-Toe games.
Two people can get together in a room and play a game of tic-tac-toe, the winner gets a forum gold prize (sometimes small, like 1-5 fg)
Battle Bots.
A specified number of players get in a room and have 5 minutes to design a robot to fight with. All players enter the arena at the same time and fight to the death! Winner gets something like 10fg for winning.
Really I think what I'm saying is that d2jsp needs a game section,
where people can go to earn small pieces of forum gold, because I admit,
it's pretty hard to make forum gold if you haven't used photoshop for half a year or more and/or don't have Diablo2 installed..
More or less it would just be a thing for new members to use,
and get themselves a few koinz so they can buy themselves simple gear, like shakos and such xD
