User blog comment:LunarWing/Perms vs Durations/@comment-5093628-20131027213433

Perm. Most likely many people quit the game and decide to come back. With no perms, its gonna be hard to start back up especially with little to no 'starting' GP. Durations are a bit eh because its not permanent. Simply put, it forces to continue spending money on the game (its a free-to-play), but what if the said person who quit decides to come back? There will be nothing on the account to start with. They dont want the commitment to keep spending money on a game they might just play leisurely. This was why removing 1 D GP option was such a big deal since many people do not play for 7 D increments in a row to maximize GP output/ profit. Many people believe that the 1 D options were necessary as many people played on and off/ spontaneously and 1 D guns were their bread and butter.
