What? No! This totally goes against all the lore and - oh wait a second... I have an idea!!! Ok, so the well for charity, remember that? Let's say that the wise old man made a heist and stole the money! (Or he smuggled out money from the heist minigame. Who knows?) And then, with his money, he decided to make some improvements to his home village. Taadaa!
Eh, might work.
I found out how to make a signature! Woop woop! ----> Spoiler!
Original message details are unavailable.
Questions that first need to be answered: How much money has already been raised? Of that money, where has it been invested/been stored?
It sounds like a long-running scam that the Draynor Village farming community has pulled off.
This would be an interesting quest or miniquest.
I'd totally support a quest that follows this. I'd prefer it deals with higher levels though, maybe include the Vampyre storyline from Morty and the Wise Old Man and his boo?
