Gwenpools Discount Cover Emporium

DJSquiggy

So, i was going to post this in one of the other suggestion threads, but i decided i wanted to make a thread on its own.

Now that we have Gwenpool, (who if i understand correctly actually is a real person who just reads comics and understands the tropes enough to be a superhero?)

Why not make a Gwenpool themed Buy-back store? you trade in covers you cant use, and get a random or cycled set (similar to the champing) reward based on cover rarity tier?

so, you could farm 2 stars, or, sell them to Gwen who will turn them into iso, hp, cp, ...maybe tokens?

in fact, she could also have "quests" where she needs you to find and give her a certain number of rarity issues and these quests could have a higher payout. (10 1* venoms?.....because reasons?). flash sales of rare covers because she found them on the floor....stole them from the back of a truck, whatever...

she could also maybe do "cover crafting" you give her so many covers of 1 tier and she uses scissors and glue to make you a version of another tier (2* widow to 3* for example)

She could even be the place we go to to change our 6th yellow wasp to a black cover. (colored Sharpies!)

the more i think about it, the skies the limit!

Its an interesting premise, but would the necessary randomness be a detriment?

I'm sure some people would be willing to risk getting a 1* widow back after they put a 2* widow into the Gwenpoole laundering service. (Some 'shrinkage' may occur, after all)..

What would be the relative odds of getting what you 'wanted' versus 'something close' or 'something wildly not'? More accurately, what would they need to be for its creation to happen?

Demi can come up with any random mechanics. I'm just looking for a place to do business with un-usable covers that works in the "game world".

the 'Pools are the only characters that are "meta", so Gwen hosting a store seems like a great fit.

even if they only wanted to implement a single idea from my post, changing Cover colors would be the most important (IMO). Game economists can work out the other details. As long as it feels like a net win in the end.

A weekly fetch/collection quest for a modest number <n> covers of character <x> at tier <y> to receive a cover at tier <y+1> for (related) character <z> would be a good way to foster engagement with the game for those that play laid back and on a drip, actually.

Not quite as compulsively gate-checking as grabbing DDQ every day, or quite as demanding as a full-course 3 day event.
