Suggestions to donate system

[Samari]

Sooo I was looking at the donator system and have some suggestions.

1. Everything seems a bit high, well some of the pet prices are reasonable but you would have to donate like 180 dollars to get a weapon that'd be on one character until you hit Northrend and replaced it. Not saying to make things easy to get but maybe look at how reasonable they are.

2. Perhaps it would be viable to offer BoA gear for a certain amount of points, since it is fairly difficult to get at least at this point in the server's development.

3. Maybe offer raid badges for a certain amount of points. Like one frost badge for ten points, ect. Though this may be difficult to keep implemented come cata when raid badges become a true currency.

While five for a dollar may sound unreasonable you have to take into account that a tier piece from an ICC vendor costs 90 emblems for one piece. That would be One piece = 19 dollars

4. Perhaps implement a point to gold, nothing outrageous though. Maybe something like 50 points = 50 gold, so that anyone who wanted to have a retarded amount of money through donation would have to donate a looooot counterbalancing the economy hit that might follow with how much upkeep it'd bring to the server.

i agree that the prices seem a bit high for instance the bow would be like $160. i donated for that on my old progen account and only paid $20 something for it..
pets are decent prices but i would donate for gear before pets

1. Fixed.

2. We dont want players running around in that gear from a donation we want players to get them from doing in those instances.

3. Done I think the prices are reasonable.

4. That information will be posted in the Donation thread.

I'm not by that to give items for donations but..
Northrend items (epics mainly) can broke whole raiding system on server, and it will be unfair, so my suggestion is to put tiers from t1-t6 (they look very cool, like for me t2 is awesome) + legendary items, and mounts which u can obtain also (from Zul Gurub, Ahn Quiraj, Karazhan and from World events (Brewfest, Halloween etc)(pre WotLK of course).
They have very good looking and some Can add achievement's also.
My proposition is to mainly give items which are on retail are buy able for moneys also like Spectral Tiger, Turtle etc and non-combat pets also, and trinkets.
