Also should be able to give perks to people.
Say you want to run a fun squad 262 mission but only half of your guys have enough perks. If your willing to give them up you should be able to transfer them to whoever you want to. Again with a reasonable transfer fee.
It wouldn't have to be part of the AH FE.
It could easily be run as a web page in a browser window.
You log in with username & password, it shows a balance sheet. (what perks in which arena etc) Buttons on the side for converting, gifting to another person, etc. There could be a higher cost for moving perks between arena's, etc. Which would help keep the system from being abused.
If your willing to give up 1000 perks so you can get 500 over to the AVA arena, why not?
Duels in the DA could now have 5k fighter perks wagered, winner takes all.
Even if we can't move them between arena's. We should have the abilty to trade worthless bomber perks for GV perks or fighter perks.
As well as being able to give them where we please.
Please Hitech PLEASE!
Ghosth, You make some very attractive points and, for the most part, I agree that it would be nice to be able to build missions and folks could join using your perks.
However, I beg that you consider what I'm about to describe very, very carefully.
Once you open the possibility that perks can be received without earning them.. no matter what the intent, our world, as sad as it is, sometimes, will never be the same.
Just this week somebody posted this:
Perks for sale? Ok.. that's probably a troll/shade.. but, still, that's just a tip of the iceberg from what we'll see. Pages of posts asking for perk points for some sob excuse or another.
"I'll join your mission if you pay me 10 perks"
"It's my birthday, will somebody loan me some perks so I can fly a 262?"
"Hey! You guided our mission right into an enemy CV and I lost my 262! I want you to pay me for it!"
Oh, and here's one you KNOW you'll see..
" You $@#!$ got me killshot in my 163!! Pay me back, you !@#!@# "
Go to ANY of the MMORPG out there, where you have to develop skills to perform time-consuming tasks to earn mere pittances of 'money' to purchase items to make it easier to develop skills to perform time-consuming tasks to ern mere pittances of 'money' to purchase....
You will encounter many people that, basically, stand on the corner and ask for handouts so they don't have to earn the stuff. It's downright annoying and, it adds an element of guilt that I don't need in this game.
It would be nice to be able to share perks.. no doubt. Especially for those of us that don't use them.. But I strongly believe the damage that the impact that would have to our culture would be catastrophic.
