I’m completely and totally against this, because of the consequences you haven’t thought of.

Funcom’s top priority right now is to drive the sales in the Bazaar, so they can make money. Guess what would happen if they allowed us to make CC by playing the game?

For starters, no more BP progress in single-player or even on private servers. You would have to play on official servers to get BP XP.

Second, the way they balance the game would change. Right now, they’re at least trying to balance it around the quality of gameplay. They might not be doing a good job, but at least they’re trying. If you could make CC by playing the game, that would become the most important aspect of the game balance for Funcom. Every change they even think of making would first have to answer the question “Does this make it too easy for people to earn CC?”

Trust me, you really don’t want to get CC from the challenges. In-game XP for your followers, maybe, or some in-game resources like the ancient oboli or bloodstone or whatnot. But not CC.

Money poisons the gameplay.
