Keepers for Cash?

[Stiehl26]

With all of the issues perceived about Keepers, and that there is no "reason" or reward for killing one, perhaps have a 10k coins per level of the keeper (basically 40-50k coins) for each keeper slain. If that was not considered reasonable, perhaps 10k per level for slaying a keeper that has initiated combat on you. I wouldnt think 50k would be overboard for slaying a keeper that you otherwise get no real benefit from slaying. I'm sure I will be filled in why the above wont work, but just thought that this was a reasonable solution.

...I don't even know how to respond to that except... Bad Idea. This is something I can see crazyhorse coming in to just ransack and bash the hell out of...

Where does it come from? Who is going to pay you to kill a keeper, other than maybe legion? It basically doesn't make sense.

How about the incentive to keep your rare items just a little bit longer because you actually held your own against the keeper?

[Mandor]

realistically, if you were to actually have a load of worldly imbalancing rares, and still kill a keeper, I'd assume that's like bountied for justice, but keeper style. hardcore gank comes after that.

I think keeping rares has to be the best and only consequence of beating a keeper, the only problem is that keepers are a bitch of a fight. It really makes sense in game terms and RP terms, but its still adventures in sodomy.
