Exactly my point! The "real" money is just as fake as fake money. Those pieces of t-paper and bits&bites have no real value whatsoever.
It's the tragedy of man.

They've probably geared it to being slightly more than the average player does already. To encourage people to play a bit more and not put it out of anyone's reach. A mild play incentive without the continuous.
You can't cap continuous play as the grinders will do it anyway.
That's right in my case. I got to 353 with somewhat more play than I would ordinarily do. 20-30 of that came from mat trading that I did as an Arx experiment but the rest was the sort of thing I would ordinarily be doing. I considered going out late last night to cap it, but decided I'd rather be sleeping; 7/8ths of cap is enough.
I've got over 5000 Arx plus two skins and a nameplate that I had previously refused to buy because they were too expensive. I'm waiting for the basic paints to be reinstated for the Krait and then I'll buy another. I was amused when the cartographics data from my core mining survey trip exactly paid for my avatars spectacles, but apart from that I've paid for them all; the cheapest other thing I bought was 620 Arx so the earned Arx wouldn't have paid for any of it. I'm thinking about free Arx because it's a new mechanic that I'm interested in learning about. In a week or two, no more, I'll be ignoring it.
I'm also comparing prices in Arx, not GBP. I have no idea what a Holo-Me suit of clothes costs in real money, but I know it's horrendously expensive in Arx. I've put £4.99 into the account. After that I'm considering that 8820 Arx as the money I have to spend and reading the prices compared to that. It was exactly the same as going to the mall knowing I'd got £100 until pay-day, spending £30 here and there and then walking into the clothes shop, seeing that suits were over £150 and walking out again.
Yep very similar to me, buy if you want stick to the freebies if you want and don't let ARX dictate how or how often you play.
Its a game its supposed to be all about the fun.
To be fair, it was Frontier's decision to focus on something else in the meantime. I've read many thing on this forum, but not once has anybody said "Please Frontier give us two years of free updates with a newbie zone and new name for CGs!"
That 'manipulation' is called 'a discount'. And yes, this 'mark' does not object to a discount.
LMAO. Stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.
Getting blown up seems to reward the most arx/time of any activity, from reports on the forums.
And yeah, amount earned does not seem to be tied to credits, as exploration payouts seem way higher per credit than what I made from passenger missions so far in the limited time I spent paying before the constant screen tear gave me a headache and I decided not to try playing until it's patched. Passenger missions seem to award 1 arx per 5m credits of profit, so it'd take about 1bn of profit to hit the weekly cap that way, which is doable, I guess.
Stock Sidewinder rebuy: 1,550Cr
400 / 6 = 67
1550 x 67 = 103,850 Cr = chicken feed
I might do that one week just for the laugh.
Getting your weekly Arx allowance from blowing up your ship = priceless.
"Some things money can't buy, for everything else, there's STORE"
Hmmmm. MechWarrior, EVE, World Of Everything, no I haven't played any other games with micro transactions...
The forum undead will complain about anything. Complaining's what they do best.
Pretty sure you did mate. What was it, about 7 years ago now?
Then you don't know what a daily is... so what are you playing?
You're comparing apples to oranges here, I don't think you have the room to be condescending when your hands are full of fruit salad and not a comprehensive point.
See above.
Thing is mate, if your point had any validity at all, it would stand on its own feet without the first line of your reply needing to be an attempt to undermine someone who criticised it by suggesting that they have no experience from which to comment. I don't really have any interest in engaging with you over and above my original reply because you've shown me nothing to indicate that it would be a productive (or even entertaining) use of my scant leisure time.

Damn, when I was 13, I got 50p a week.
Which I guess is still twice what you get in Arx.
Of course, that was when 50p a week was enough to buy five whole boxes of 40k space marines in a year.
I agree the amount alone is of limited use for comparison without the era
I remember having a paper round in the early '80's & thinking £3.50 per week was a lot, but that £2.50 was not. Don't recall getting pocket money I didn't have to work for. I spent my money on a 12-shot film roll one week then getting it processed the next week. Needless to say I was an early adopter of digital camera technology
