Making games is tricky, lots of choices, so many opinions... some louder than others. I've had quite a few requests for new boosts, like decrease time re-entering the wasteland boosts and such. There is a line a lot of games try not to cross and it seems we already crossed it anyway when we added + ability boosts.
The question is where do we draw the new line, do we say Abilities and Trades are ok but we're not letting you buy any advantage elsewhere? Or do we say warfare / abilities are ok but you can't buy any advantages in jobs or XP? Obviously some games do not care about this line and they generally end in disaster, selling XP boosts, in-game items, everything basically makes anyone who is not rich not want to play.
It's an important question and I think it needs to be decided right now before anything else is added to the platinum store. What is off limits when it comes to buying with platinum? XP, Jobs, Warfare, Stats, Items?

"Stats is the only no go. end of."
BebeDoll
"Please, no buyable turns or exp boosts...nothing that would give an advantage to only the rich. I would ask you to consider making it easier to re-enter wl...but put extensive limits on it. "
Goku
"Not much you can do, all it does is make rich people come in and get av in 40 days anyways, so do what you gotta do I guess 
"
"ExDeath
"Off limits from that list is anything that goes under stats, items, warfare, or abilities. Exp boosts and Jobs are fine by me though for plat rewards since they just add to things we already have. 
"
"JoeBloggs
"What bit of "think it through before posting please" did you not understand MrExplode? XP I would always class as a no go, earn it yourself fair and square. It's alot easier to level now. Maxwordlimit"
BladezG2
"as long as it doesnt boost exp, or stats (with the exception for abilities) i dont see to big of a problem."
anialator
"Just make the Ability Points the only exception, just because you accepted one thing you should not have, it does not mean you have to accept anything else that gives an unfair advantage. MrExplode "
"Loki
"Have to agree, no experience, job, or stat boosts."
defosage
"I vote "no" for any kind of XP, Stats, or Turns boosts. Other than that, I don't have a problem with anything."
AkuTenshi
"xperience and stats. I see no reason for people to literally to be able to buy their level"
Platypus
"I'd say EXP boost for 85+ now it's so repetitive and boring to lvl taking months each lvl, same with turns for lvl 85+"
CowGoMoo
"England shirt ftw!! upload"
uglymug
"XP, Jobs, Warfare, Stats, Items. Seen the recent EVE Online riots? "
dagreek
"Nothing else. The current system we have is enough."
Remicity
"Personally, no items, jobs, stat or XP boosts. I think it's a bit too far into the "pay to win" side of things."
HanzoRazor
"turns. Turns are really the time factor, they determine balance between exp and jobs (buying money is short term). Purchase of stats and exp immediately should be out as well."
xShinenRye
"we have enough boosts, no need to add anymore. People can wait 3 minutes for wl, it's no biggie. And for others, might as well give everyone +4 every week if you're going to add those."
philly
"Everything should be off limits except items."
TGame
"MrExplode . you should be able to buy staff's favor with platinum, cause adding anymore boost would probably ruin the game"

"Nothing more than what is given now."
Cunha
"Beside the elders who has a say in that? me? i think not.... i'm not a paying player...but i make the the market running... maybe, the common player have something o say... not me for now! 
"
"Toyic
"What anialator said, the opposite of what platypus said. Do not add turns or xp boosts. And leave the warfare alone, period. We don't need more imbalance there."
Maurice
"plat=cs=blu pills; no need for WL boost. no buy more turns; but yes buy higher limit. no buy anything related to exp. no buy stat points. buy faster job completion."
KevinMp
"No matter what game you play, there is always a way to gain an advantage over others by purchasing items and bonuses with real currency. It's inescapeable. I would suggest adding more aesthetics. "
ZeroV8
"Any thing that A) that you can buy that will give you an advantage in combat, and B) anything that will increase the rate that you get turns/credits, is off limits"
007Ben
"what anialator said 
. MrExplode "

"I agree with Platypus."
rollin340
"Nothing that gives anyone any advantage in terms of strength. They want to enter the WLs faster, fine; just do NOT raise the Exposure limit. Just make sure nothing makes A stronger than B quickly."
turdus
"NO to XP, no to better paying jobs, faster jobs is already an ability, yes to enter wl faster, higher focus in wl e.tc. no to stats, no to stronger items, yes to equally strong items."
Alfonzo
"Higher focus regeneration, quicker WL re-entry, and nothing else."
Snrm
"No advantages to give you more XP or jobs. Keep the Platinum store to maybe outifts and stuff like that"
Ariel
"Nothing that will give an unfair advantage, quicker job completion maybe. I wouldn't touch the WL, fine as it is, no to quicker focus regeneration, as it would give an unfair advantage to richer gang"
Shaidar
"nothing that gives advantage"
Pyro02
"Stats are a definite no. XP shouldn't be buyable for <80, and I wouldn't like to see any job stuff. I don't want any 'real' advantage, the ability boost doesn't really give you a quick legup instantly"
Tyson
"Personally, nothing else needs to be added as we have everything we need. All that I can suggest is to get this new combat system up and running, after that major update things should be pretty sweet."
Waylander
"Enough already.combat systems most needed."
Raiden
"What Anialator said...and Waylander..Be patient."
GeoBeast
"I feel there should not be turns, stats, or XP boosts. But there should be a decrease in re-entry boost and items. but the items should only be an equivalent (ie. to whatss already on the market."
Lynx
"We have never have any in-game advantages for sub or plat, at least not some that make you "op" . we have always only had extras. so please keep it at that point.."
MaxPower
"Nothing else. The current system we have is enough."
Nemesis
"Enough in-game advantages. Being able to sell plat for credits and +2 abilities are enough in-game advantages."
EliteRoy
"80+ characters cant kill lowbies 
helps with training "
helps with training "quinn82
"stats is def a no go for me plus exp "
Jerv
"I wouldn't want rich people getting ability, XP or Stat boosts. Decreased job time is fine because turns limits earning power. "
zerocomman
"Definitely no boosts to anything related to focus, exp, stats, jobs, or turns (higher max turn limit is fine though)."
Haze
"No to stat boosts, exp boosts, new jobs that give considerably more c's and items."
Blaze
"No XP/Stat boosts or new jobs. If you must have a 'buy turns' option then put a limit on it, e.g: 20000 turns per month."
LordPain
"boosts are good but only 10-20% at most exp ability pts...nothing thats permanent or thats 50%+ that discourages others....just a small cherry on top worth....outfits and not important no limits"
HappyDays
"Most things should not be off limits, retards get numerous drops, scythes etc through luck, I should be able to buy my edges if I want to. Jobs should def not be on the table to be bought."
StarvinDog
"No boosts to leveling til after av. No plat only items unless they are equal to existing ones. Non combat/stat/turn extras are ok"
SlickVic
"I think there is enough advantage to platinum buyers now. No more please."
