Dude, its time you got over your salt about ARX. Its there, its there to stay, get over it.
What if this little change could fund servers that allow P2P networking to be removed?
Only if you made the ads compulsory because 99.99999% of us will opt out of them the minute they appear, and what gives you nay idea that FDEV will ever move away from the P2P networking model. In fact I suspect the P2P networking model is the only thing that makes ED possible as a sandbox MMO the size of a galaxy.
You wouldn't watch an ad in boring witch space for the benefit of the game? You got something better to do during that loading screen?
Who knows if P2P is the only way? FDev sure does. I'm suggesting that if it is a cost issue, it could be solved with a passive revenue stream... Everyone wins. You get Arx, they get money.
I mean look, it's not that bad.

That's going too far!I think you have it backwards. We get the ads no matter what, but we can spend Arx to skip them.
That way Frontier is (potentially) making money on both ends.
I'm giving you a B- in money grubbing for the week. Tough but fair, I think.
Right... and I've been earning them sooooo slowly. If I could speed that up by watching adds during that boring load screen that I have to watch over and over and over and over and over and over again.....
I might as well benefit from it.... and so should FDev.
