Come on, we were talking about reasonable changes.Heck, they could even charge 1 Arx each time the player fires up the game, another Arx for landing, then another for take off, and 10 for each supercruise jump, 4 Arx per minute spent in Supercruise, 15 for engaging the SCO drive, another 10 when disengaging it, and 1,000 for each food, potty, phone or just stretch your legs break.
They could even make a premium payment for not playing, that would be perfect, wouldn't it? (just think of the bill those who haven't played for years would receive!)
ETA: Even better, the forum could start charging Arx for posts mentioning Arx, and Arx being used as P2W, or just P2W (and its variants), FD would have MILLIONS raised in mere days!
But I certainly like that not-playing penalty, superb idea!
With all that fine input, we still suffer from one problem: we would need to allow ARX accounts going negative! Otherwise how could FDev benefit from that?
