To Swap or Not To Swap...

It won't be long now until bards and sorcerers in Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach (DDO) are able to swap spells. While the method by which spell-swapping will be accomplished is not set in stone, Turbine has posted their ideas for community feedback. To kick off Bard week at DDO @ Ten Ton Hammer, we look back at the line of reasoning that brought us to the current proposal for spell-swapping.

Wulf Ratbane [with the debate hinging on whether the pricing proposed in Samera's first post is adequate]: Levels are a finite resource. Action Points are a finite resource. Quests that cannot be abandoned and repeated are a finite resource.

Gold is not a finite resource. It is an essentially limitless resource.

In order to predict what effect this spell swap system will have game-wide, you have assume that some player somewhere will have more than enough gold to swap out as often as he likes. (And that assumption is not much of a stretch.)
