User blog:LunarWing/Perms vs Durations

Hello again!

This is Lunar. I'd like to make a public inquiry on whether or not perms are better than duration weapons etc.

Here's my stance on the matter:

Perms:

Advantages:

1) Lets you quit the game for a long time and come back. You'll still have whatever's permanent.

2) It's a one-time buy, then you never have to renew again.

3) Perms look good on your account, lulz.

Disadvantages:

1) If you quit, your durations will expire.

2) Not many things can be permanent.

Durations:

Advantages:

1) Forces you to come back to the game in order to play your durations out, therefore makes you play more/ranks you up more.

2) If you like it, you'll work harder irl to get the money to renew it.

3) Forces you to be conservative with your weapon choices (i.e activate this from inbox instead of this one b/c it has longer duration), therefore you make the most out of what you get.

Disadvantages:

1) It's a duration. If you aren't careful enough, it'll expire.

2) It's not perm. It doesn't look very flashy on your account ._.

3) If you accidentally activate two duration items at the same time, you'll have to juggle renewing one and leaving the other un-renewed.

I side with duration. It makes me come back to play and makes me work hard IRL to get what I want in the game. Kind of like a morale booster. Sorta.

What do you guys think?

Thanks.
