No, they only cost perk points earned in the game.  Somebody made a wish about buying additional aircraft for an account, but got roundly booed.

Yes
Money is currency
Perk is a currency
Money = Currency = Perk
Money = Perks

Yes
Money is currency
Perk is a currency
Money = Currency = Perk
Money = Perks

Crete = an island
England = an island
Crete = England

NOT! You fail at syllogism. And perks do not cost money.

They do not cost money because they have not been assigned a inequivalent value of a different currency, but for AH it is a currency.

What I'm saying is not necessarily right, just one way to look at it.

Yes
Money is currency
Perk is a currency
Money = Currency = Perk
Money = Perks
This is incredibly false.... :huh

Perk is a currency for the planes in game, BUT you do not BUY the in-game currency, you EARN it through TIME that you put INTO the game to become a more skilled pilot or luck up and be on the winning side and score a kill for every 6 or 7 sorties.

If you're theory was correct, I could go blow 50 bucks and get 1000 perks and say screw it and fly the 262 until my hands fell off.

Not sure why but his statement kinda made me angry....was it the level of thought used in his equation?   :huh  :headscratch:

Well technically you earn perks just like money, expect you have to do different things. The only problem is you can't trade dollars for perks, otherwise there are both a currency.

yeah but they don't cost real money - then again TECHNICALLY...ALL of the planes cost money. $14.95 a month.  :devil

Just depends how you look at it.

I cannot exchange AH perk points with money so AH perk money have not all
the properties of 'real' money.

Otherwise we can ask to pay AH by our perk point.

If so, HTC would be very 'happy'.

I don't think it's a wish, just a discussion.

But it was was a wish I'd agree with a -1

Heh. Only thing you can buy for WoW with real money, if you aren't risking being banned, are vanity pets.

Many other MMOs have gone the full "pay cash for loot" route.

True.  A more apt comparison would be to a game like DDO.  And no, there aren't any micro-transactions in AH.

Can you get perked planes  with out paying any money?

It might be more accurate to say. 
Perks or perked planes don't cost additional money in relation to the subscription.

I am not considering  free trial or offline play. or illegal activities.


All planes in AH cost money.
Therefore all perked planes cost money.

I think the question is not worded the best possible way.

Leave us pray AH stays in private hands, otherwise some evil marketing lesbian from New York in a power suit and matching glasses will decide that itemz, warez and upgradez are an untapped source of explosive revenue growth, and then we'll have Red Skies, Luft '46 version.

All Hail teh Dale.
