...and it'll attract the cheaters (bots) who are only in it to make money, this makes it less appealing for regular gamers who want to play a Game and not a money making machine. It would be the downfall of the game as we know it, like I said, you want to earn money get a real job or ask for a payrise from your employer, leave this Game as a Game.
yeah, its me again -.-'

See: Path of Exile (no money of course, that's just a pipedream of someone who has no idea how economics work.)

Doesn't EVE do something like that? I suggest you try that game instead of this one if that is really what you are looking for. Don't try to make a copy of that game here, please.
Look at the last four words of your post.
That particular combination of words is wrong.
If you don't get why that's wrong you'll end up either broke, you'll end up having had no fun, -or worse- both.
Ha so true.
People like the OP seriously need a reality check.
The only way you are making money off games is if you turn it into something people are going to watch and generate advertisement revenue off of it or donations if you go twitch.
You then turn your little hobby of playing a game into a job, having to please people while playing your game.
Having to deal with the public or what ever bull instead of having fun.
There are plenty of sad people mostly further to the west that prefer to watch games instead of playing them and I find it sad that it is as big as it is now and probably going to get bigger.
However this is elite and no, nobody is going to invent some way for you to sell your credits for $$ op.
Welcome to reality.
It's been a while since you saw it this clearly?
People these days...
people there are already games that work with that system, real cash economy games but yes only people that can understand the power of the little can make a real cash economy game, if you always thinking big, wishing big numbers, youll never get it. i will never give up my demand, for the sake of gamers nowdays and future generations of gamers that will come over the years. they can land on the moon, we can play real cash economy games.
Paying for progression in a videogame that is about progression is just plain stupid. Diablo 3 is a good example of why this is a bad idea. You just buy expensive stuff, and then there's nothing else to do.
Doesn't matter what arguments you bring, it's not going to happen and I think you'll find you're one of a very small amount of people that actually want it.
Wow, you really don't get it. You make money when you provide a product or service of value. If you want to earn money with Elite Dangerous, then do some work by providing a service of value. In the world of professional sports, the players make money because the players work to provide entertainment. If they aren't entertaining, they don't earn money because nobody buys tickets to watch them. You could always start a twitch channel and earn money that way but then I suspect that you won't be entertaining, given your rather undereducated notions of what constitutes a service or product of value. It sounds more like you want to get paid for simply screwing around with your game all day.

That argument would make sense if the only reason why we don't have a real money economy was because of some sort of technical limitation. But it's not the case. Real money economy is not more "advanced", it's just really bad design.
Pay to win? The last pay to win game I played was on an iPad. I didn't pay a cent, but did find a way to make it think I had paid when I did not (a bug that was eventually fixed). Idid not play it long, as I veyr quickly worked out that everything in the game beyond the first few levels were designed to ensure that you'd be spending hundreds of dollars a month for lesser and lesser progress. This type of game it often "free" to buy, and by my way of thinking, one of the greatest scams of modern times.
If you want a "real economy" based game, I suggest looking somewhere else. I hear a certain other star ship style game that is still in Beta will allow you to buy ships for hundreds, and even thousands of dollars. I also here you can currently walk around them, and perhaps even fly some of them in a limited way. I'm sure you can make much money buy buying limited edition ships and selling them to some fool at some later stage.
Also, online gambling games would probably also fit in to your description...
Z...
PS - want to make serious cash on ED? Go design an awesome Anaconda skin, convince FD to put it up for sale in the store, and to then share the profits with you.

Completely with you! +rep.
The OP comes across as a disgruntled Chinese loot/credit farmer, upset he and his his 2 million neighbors from his apartment block/village can't farm credits and then sell them for $$$ in Elite.
