Giving Away Perks
« on: October 26, 2013, 10:24:31 AM »
Hello,

I have thousands of fighter plane perks.  I never use them - prob never will.

I'd like to give them away to new players.

How can I do this?


Thanks,

How?

imagine all the perk planes flying until they finally all got burned off. If your so worried about all those extra perks just change your name for a month and they will all disappear.  :D

I understand the generosity and desire to share the wealth of unneeded perks, but introducing the ability to transfer them to other people introduces an 'economy' to the game.

Here a few links to previous discussions about it.

If you need a firsthand exposure to why an economy can be a bad thing, play any of the MMRPGs that allow purchase and trade of money/points and see how many beggars line the roads looking for handouts.  Then visualize 200/Range/Room chat swamped with the same pleas.  

It's a valiant and honorable desire, but the ramifications would be disastrous.

I would not say I am "worried" about all these perks.  Yes my objective was to give them away in a manner that helped the community of newer players.

Thanks for helping me understand the economy concept in this context.   :salute

I love wasting bomber and vehicle perks on suicidal B29 and King Tiger runs, but I don't do any suicidal perk fighter runs. Can I cash in my fighter perks for $$$  ??  :D

Some have tried doing that.



Didn't work out well for them.

Because flying P-47D-11's, 109E4's, and P-39D's are just so much more fun!  :D

Furballing is more fun in my 1943 fav planes. 262s I roll only to chase other 262s - then if no jets are to be found I fight whatever/deack/strafe GVs.

I would like the option to set up a mission with perked rides where I get the perk bill for everyone in the mission.
