For
future
content, I would be totally down with this, especially if the quest writing is actual quality adding to my experience. However this has three flaws:
1. You will not be able to retroactively go back on the current promised cosmetics. It will not and should not change their investment model because
2. No one has an idea of Intrepids quest writing quality. You can sell a visual. Selling a story plus a cosmetic for investment only works on the general public if your writing has a good reputation, otherwise they'd have to spoil the story and what good is that.
3. Lastly and most importantly it costs more to make this way. Not just the writers, but the coders, qa, boss design etc as well! These things have a history in other mmos of having subpar writing as a result of all the extra costs unless its part of a large narrative driven dlc. Screw subpar quest writing or cookie cutter fights in the way of me getting a cool costume in short. That is anti fun. Higher quality experience requires more money and has a high barrier to entry. This third problem happens no matter what investment stage, good writers or not.
