Perk Points

[Lusche]

Just as a reminder, the average AH pilot earns perks at a scale of about 2-5 perks per hour and does 8-15 hours in fighters per tour.

At this rate, I guess the ability to buy perks would loke quite attractive to a lot of people.

I think in a situation where a player is canceling an account, it would be reasonable for them to have the option of donating their perks to another player, or even distributed to their squad mates.  I really don't have advocacy for some system to buy/sell perks

The buying and selling would be unseen, in the form of private messages, ie: "psst, hey buddy, you need any perks?  you can have 500 perks for $10."

Some people will always look for shortcuts.  Players rack up perks and achievements in EW/MW arenas (by killing squaddies or other "shady" characters) and use those perks to fly perk planes in Late War.  If they can score a ton of perks the easy way, you can be sure it will happen.

Another worst case scenario to imagine: a handful of leet players from the past come back for a week of clubbing seals.  You invite them into your squad with a generous perk bouquet.  Then you have a whole squad of 262s running amok, until they get bored and quit again.  Meantime the great unwashed masses (regular paying customers) are kind of pissed off.

Anyone who is willing to buy perk, I will give you 500 for free.

I agree with you on the point you make that players will find a way to abuse it.

scca I dont even 1/2 the skill you do and I dont think i play 20 hours a month and yet I have thousands of perks.  the problem is how you spend them.

He said I had skill   

I have been known to auger a 262 (or two, or three), and I have changed my name twice since I started the game (flush the perks).  I still only have about 700 fighter perks, as I do spend them on occasion (often after "iced beverage induced" Deuce runs.)
