BA's Suggestion (in General)

I kinda understand why we have limited BA's, but I think it would be really interesting if we could buy as much as we wanted.
Of course you get your first allotment at the normal price:
IE
400 ba's @ $400
Second batch should be:
400 ba's @ $800
3rd set:
400 ba's @ $1200
and so on..

Basically I'm saying that they should increase in cost by a multiplier of 1 for each new batch. Sure it's not economical, but you could sell off some stock and buy more than your daily alotment if you needed to.

FF away!

You suggest this, because you have much US$ to spend on this game? ;)

no not really, but after thinking about it, I can see how it would evolve into that.
So maybe have it capped at x levels and available only during wacky times?

This would destroy my idea that the NUB should apply to the amount of buyable BA rather then bonuses to fighting and forging. So I'm going to say nay.

I agree with your idea, if people are rewarded for spending a lot of time on the game, why should they not also be rewarded for spending money on the game (stimulating the economy).

One of the things I remember reading was that Jon never wanted supportership to be necessary for anyone to be competitive in this game. In other words, the top player doesn't need to spend $10 to be the top player. Thankfully some people will trade CB$ for supportership though so that isn't even needed. In your suggestion, however, paying $10 wouldn't even get you half way up the mountain much less get you to the summit.
