looking at the huge piles of gold stacking up in the town banks of Emond's Field, the Waste, etc...
Once the Shop is maxed, there's nowhere else for this to go, right? How 'bout once the Shop is maxed, the gold distribution to the controlling clan members increases from 1% to maybe 10% or so? Still with the condition of the players being IN town to receive it.
This would do a couple things: it would spread more gold into the game to make gold-grab duels a little more useful/tempting/etc, and it would encourage clan members to sit in their 'home' towns occasionally - which would also provide more opportunity for high-town-point duels and maybe make the town-control battles a little more viable/worthwhile...
The only down side I see is that it could make it easier for players to get high-end gear - up to a point. The equip points system still limits what can be used, so that helps offset the danger of overpowered characters. And, it does take a fair amount of time to grow a character to the point of actually being able to use the top gear. Plus, it still takes some time (not as much as you would think, though) to max out a Shop. Anyone see other potential drawbacks?
don't know how this might intereact/conflict with your other plans for the Shops in v4, Tim, but again, lobbing one out there just in case...

) to distrib more % to clan and to players (1% bumps per 'level', similar to current clan upgrades)? Clan leaders could gradually increase profit-sharing to players for gear and/or to clan for upgrades. this could still achieve some of the benefits of the original idea, provide more upgrades to spend town bank gold on, and give another way to customize clans...
