Capability to use credits to buy cash during a game

[cashacasha]

Would this work

[Sami]

This has been discussed in the past but it will not be (ever) introduced as that is just too full of problems..

[cashacasha]

Why is that, can't a player use 1 credit to buy say... 5 million dollars. That would be pretty simple code no?

[Kontio]

I don't think it's a coding problem.

[Filippo]

Wouldn't be fair

[auerbacs]

Yeah, your airline's success would be entirely based on how much money you spent on the game.

I think this is really something different with many online game I've ever play:real money can do nothing during the game. I love this

[munipandita]

This wouldn't be fair.

I can't afford to buy credits just to don't stay "behind" others players.. i mean, i am not interested in doing that. I think the goal and the objective of this game is to make money for just flying

I am 100% against this.

If you want to incorporate micro transactions to make Sami et al more money, make people pay "Rent" for facilities.   Something like 10% reduction in main costs for an extra credit per week.

The day this happens is the day I quit playing AWS.

It's got nothing to do with money, I've got plenty of that.  In fact, if it came down to it, I'd pay 10 times what I pay per credit now in order to insure that it didn't happen.  It's about being fair.

Notice how gold farmers are absent here..try playing warcraft...there's no benefit in hacking people's accounts and such, and it tests skills..real skills, not how rich you are.

Though it might be worth looking at other options of ing money in game..like buying your hub airport and charge the other players or leave your routes alone!! Muahaha

Something like 10% reduction in main costs for an extra credit per week.

That too is a "no no". Any feature that involves the aspect of paying more to get better game position is not happening.


(for now at least .. never say never.    But as you are guessing - it is not the point of making this a gamey game like WoW)

[swiftus27]

I wasnt saying that I agree, I was just saying that I could understand a microtransaction like that if you wanted to make more money.

Mixing real cash with virtual cash only brings tears,,,

I used to play WoW..but find this so much more soothing ad fullfilling..and never get offers of buying virutal cash to enhance my position. Please, let your nordic calmness be real.

[cashacasha]

Well spoken

[EYguy]

Would not be realistic... We are already dealing with issues concerning the tricks of trade and I think this request would:
-waste sami's precious time
-be quite unrealistic: in real life you just can't get of your HQ, go to the bank and "BUY" some more equity! Even if you go for a listing, IPO or whatever, it is always difficult to raise money in that way, especially in days like these...

[Firejet]

I really hope it never will be included in the sense that you can use credits to buy "money" as this is the exact thing that has ruined a lot of games out there. However if it was for something like what "die staemme" did with a few cosmetic changes (purely cosmetic) i wouldnt really mind.
