Hi all,
i would like to propose a future utility for already planed function.
To give you a bit of context on idea origin:
it is from my childhood where me and all of my friends collected album called ''Animal Kingdom''. You would buy inexpensive chocolate bar and with that chocolate, you would get a sticker picture of certain animal. Those pictures you would stick in an album, and if you were successful in completing whole album, you could send it to producer of those chocolate bars and in return, you would get a gift box with assortment of their products.
I would like to see a similar idea implemented in Illuvium where repository would be a album, and illuvials would be those sticker pictures. If you choose to bond your illuvial to repository album, you would effectively burn it. If you are able to collect whole album you could redeem it for some of the Illuvium products (like plushies, metal plates, hoodies, shirts, or other merchandise - amount and kind of gift should be decided by DAO; could also be seasonal rewards). If you choose to redeem album, you can start collecting it again as many times you want. We could even make additional rewards for those that redeem 10, 50, 100 albums.
Pros:
- great way to burn unwanted illuvials, but still get something out of it
- balance to economy
- would encourage trading between players (already planed function afaik)
- nostalgia factor
Cons:
- time for development as we know team is stretched already, and there are many great ideas already floating around
- no chocolate bar 😭
