Have you read the FrauB thread in general?

That would allow for perk trading with all the ugly consequences of that.

yes what about it.

Perk farming then perk transferring. How long before perk selling? Not something I think (dare I say) HTC would appreciate.

Earn your perks. Beggars can't be choosers.  

No offense ... just .. think about it.

Just... no.  Perks for profit would only lead to dweebery and lameness the likes of which has never been seen before.

Also, a personal pet peeve, the day they add this and I log in to see 'Anybody got any spare perks?' spam in the channels is the day I turn off all comms.

How about being able to designate a percentage of the perks you earn for squad use?   I like flying the B-29 - I have a ton of bomber perks, and earn plenty more all the time.   It would be worth it to me to be able to send 10% or 20% of my bomber perks into a "pool" that the squad could use to help fund more B-29 strat raids on squad nite.

Because one activity (doing bombing raids and letting the squad have a percentage of the perks for the squad pool) is legitimate play, and the other is gamey BULL$h!^

actually both are gamey.  I have over 5k points gathered 1 perk for every 10 kills in my ponyd.  I dont use them nor I plan to.  but to me I dont understand how anybody over 1 month in the game doesnt have enough perks to fly any perk plane/gv anytime he feels like it, eny permitting.

I see lots of players that have been around for years and not having enough perks to even fly a zero (sarcasm intended).  the funniest thing I ever heard was when some long time player proudly announced that he had gotten over 60 perks in one flight.  when I asked him how many perks he had, he replied 60  .

and these are the guys you want to transfer perks to?

The average player (2 weekers omitted!) makes something like 2-3 perks per hour. Really good, significantly above average player can make 8-9 per hour in fighter mode in the long run. And yes, that's including the occasional "30 perks in one sortie!"

I am against transfer of perks because then it becomes currency. I would suggest potentially being able to trade in a large number of perks, maybe 5k, for a free month of play.

This could be interesting for the following reasons:

1. It is a high enough number that farming would be too much of a hassle and could be easily recognized.
2. It could encourage use of aircraft that rarely get used outside of FSO and AvA.
3. It could give some people the opportunity to earn a free month without bankrupting HTC.
4. It would allow people who don't use their perks for the best aircraft to do something with them.

Just a thought.

pand transferring 5k for 1 month of premium would lead to so much vulching of friends that it would make ah go bankrupt.
