I think Moriarty said he hasn't donated to this game, and he's pretty wild in this game..You don't need to pay to play.
If you would make 2.5 mil a month from crime, that would do the trick.
there are many arguments for and against that. the housing i dont find issue with, because nobody in their right mind is going to donate 4300 bucks to get the biggest house. that is a long term goal, and i understand that. on top of that, even if you HAVE that house, you still have to put time and effort into using it!!
the weapons, however, i think aren't the same deal. if she had made some crazy weapon that required 40 endurance, and it was a SPECIAL weapon, and then there were a whole line of weapons that required 21 and 22 and 23 endurance that were like 70% as good but just not the same, things would be incredibly different. that, to me, is the deal with housing. you dont NEED to donate to get that house, you just need to be active. the top players dont all have that 80 million dollar house - they have the 20 mil house, and they play a LOT. the problem is, it costs about 25 mil to get from level 10 end to 25 end, which is... silly...
on the one hand, you have to donate to get from 120% trains to 140% trains (random figure, i know many of you are getting 300% and 350% trains if not better)
on the other hand, you have to donate to get a weapon that is 2x better than your current weapon! there is a significant difference in that if you ask me

it also takes 2 years to get to level 60, have 20+ endurance, be in top 10,11 or 12 at players stats and have a 15 million house(i just assume Raf has the) and the best equipment in the game.
i just say it's a liitle discouraging for someone to set as a goal 25 endurance starting from, let's say 9(as me) than it is for someoone who already has 16, 17, 18, 19 or 21 for example
also do not forget the unique items from the contests :wink:
Iif Zenith bring back the free endurance mechanic from earlier days, 25 end shouldn't be as bad as it look.
Or..
After 10 full train, every additional full train will net a +1 dev pt. in endurance. (this will create more activity level in AL)
Or..
We can trade our Skill point for Endurance. (Sacrifice precious skill for End is reasonable)

That works, if only after rank 5 in a skill career.
Love the picture Mr Marlo.
i think trading skills for END is not the best idea, IMO
It's a tough call. Skill is an essential element in this game. Trading it over a long period of time will definitely damage the character's potential.
It's an option.
