Similar to how it works in the real world I think they should add airline miles. Basically when you fly you gain some miles and they can be exchanged for items from the miles store, such as a business class ticket, large suitcase, some plushies or flowers, and others. It would not be so simple to earn a lot of miles as you have to fly a lot, the longer the flight the more miles. I think this would add a little more to traveling and make it a little more interesting, motivating.

Seems like a solid idea, especially with regards to encouraging the grind that currently exists for newly minted lvl 15's. What are you thinking with regards to approximate conversion rates -- $1k/hr? $10k/hr? $100k/hr?
Drdasoom [2656550]
I was thinking more or less 1000 every hour, like let's say a business class ticket is around 5k miles you would have to fly for like 5 hours to be able to get one, but that's just what I was thinking it might be too much or even too little!

[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]Not a bad idea but instead of using the time as miles perhpas make the distance from torn to destination the miles........cos yannow...... makes sense [/background]




[background color=var(--bbc-body-bg-color)]I say this cos the time factor can be influenced by WLT,BCT,PI,standard travel so doesnt exactly work out where as no one can alter the distance from torn to destination if that makes sense[/background]

Could even create an alternative to the Loan Shark: an Airmiles Rewards credit card, where you get points for paying for items in overseas markets with the credit card and your credit limit grows as you pay things off/borrow more/etc.

ETA: wouldn't come with threat of violence if unpaid, but would have a much higher interest rate, and would be cancelled and eventually garnish your wages if unpaid
Drdasoom [2656550]
yes it would still apply I was thinking either time or distance of the destination so how far you fly or how long you fly
