I would very much like it but some people don't know how to act.

What we have here is failure to communicate.  That's the way he wants it, so that's the way he get's it.  I don't like it anymore then you do.

It'll be a good way for me to "transfer" perk points to more needy squadmates or friends.

I think BOTH! Gambling for perks and Dueling for perks would be awsome.

Although there goes the realism, lol

Would be fun though :aok

If I was HTC I would want proof that I could not be held responsible for anything that may happen because of the transfer of perk points.  Waffle has a very good idea and I would do it if I was HTC.  It would put a whole new game in our new game...lol.  Any lawyers out there to give us real information on that aspect?  I'm being serious, I think many of us would like that.

Some people are stupid, they want to play but they don't want to pay.  I've seen guys get gangraped over a $5 debt.  I was 10 feet from a guy who got shanked because he owed a can of tuna.  People can get very stupid over these kind of things.  That is my concern.

I'm well aware of what you're talking about Xargos - indeed in my country. the "weird wired world" as Times magazine puts it, many of the population is hooked to internet provided gambling which doesn't even use real money, and use only game money.

 Now it's cut out to be a social problem because youngsters pay real money to buy game money - and people being so sensitive and addictive to such gambling game became a problem.

 However, I don't expect it to be a such a large threat in AH. Luckily most of the gamers of AH are more or less adults, and hopefully they have more brains than to waste real money to buy 'perk money'.

 Also, some measures may be taken by the staff to limit it - like perhaps a total limit of earnings or losses set by Perk Poker.

 Also, making it more than just a gambling den, perhaps a place where people can transfer limited amount of perks to their squaddies, or exchange bomber perks to fighter perks and etc.. might stay people from turning AH2 into Vegas.

Kweassa, that's the kind of feedback we need.  I realy want to be able to transfer perks, but I guess I'm being to paranoid.
