Suggestion - Jetpack for 1000 gbp donation

[Louis]

I think the donator spawn has a jetpack. Why not give one to an individual if he donated 1k gbp.

Being able to use the jetpack with any spawn gives more freedom to play the way you want without being tied to one role. 

Donations were never about having ingame advantages above others on SAES, the rewards you get after donating is simply a 'thank you' from the server which are mostly cosmetics and vehicles which you can already obtain by buying from the carshops / getting into an official organisation (which is fairly easy) for aircraft.

Having a jetpack on any spawn would grant you a huge advantage over others, just imagine using that vs cops to get away etc, you can see how absurd that sounds.

If you want jetpack then use donator spawn, but with that you can't engage in competitive activities on the server, the reason above is why.

@ dinaz Yes, I agree with you. And not necessarily that it costs 1k but more that you unlock it at 1k. I think it would stimulate a lot of people to donate, like who doesn’t want a jetpack. 

1k is just an example, think would depend on how bad you want to restrict it. But I wouldn’t do it lower than 500 (starting from new forums). Having a lot of people donating anywhere between 500-1k would still not be bad imo.

Eh as you said yourself, donator spawn already has a jetpack so what would be the point on giving anyone that donated over an x amount?

[Louis]

@AlexisThe idea is about flexibility and exclusivity. Being able to use the jetpack with any spawn gives more freedom to play the way you want without being tied to one role. It also adds a unique perk for top donators, which makes their support feel more valued. It’s not just about having the jetpack but having the freedom to use it whenever and however you like.

The main concern about it is on how easily it can be abused. If you had access on it while spawned as anything there would be tons of people abusing it. It's not necessary, but the whole existence of donator spawn is to value the fact that you, me or whoever has donated. That's the reason you have access to weapons other spawns don't.

It's just meant to be a "fun" spawn , without actually interfering with the gameplay of others at any point

You keep mentioning the existence of the donator spawn, the point isn’t to replace the donator spawn. And yes it's easily abusable, that's why I mentioned for those who donated 1000+ gbp, as far I can see no one has ever done that also you only donated 20 pounds lol. So tons of people abusing it would be impossible rn and if then there would be tons of people with access there would also have be tons of gbp been donated. Which I don't think is a bad idea. 

Furthermore, it's simply a suggestion because I would pay for it. But I am not looking to convince anyone or to be arguing with someone who says something just to say something.

I do love the fact you decided to randomly attack me. First of all I did not donate 20 that's from when we switched to these forums(not that it matters anyway). Second there have been people that donated over 1k (which is like 2 or something ). Yet , I did come with an actual concern on what that would do on day to day gameplay, also having the "having the freedom to use it whenever and however you like" is just stupid anyway that would mean you play with different rules than anyone else which is not the case for anyone including admins. But I am not deciding anyway, nor am i going to keep replying if you get triggered that easily.

So good luck!

@Alexis it's not very random if you're entering my thread and it's not a fact because you say it is. You feel attacked, I'm not attacking you. If you feel attacked because I said you only donated 20 pounds in 5 years it's not to attack you, I just tried to point out that rewards that come with a 1k gbp donation might not be in your field of interest. 

Do I believe a jetpack would be given, no. Nor would I be dissapointed, I have no expections at all I just returned some days ago. But many things happen that we don't expect. It's fine that you're so concerned and proud of your volunteer job but this arguing just makes it just look more serious than it is.

@Brophy Reading this marvelous idea.

[Louis]

I've never mentioned using it in a way to have any advantage, obviously that's abuse. I mean just in passive mode, it's almost similar to a RC raider. Also an useless vehicle which functions almost the same as a jetpack just slower I'd say. Just fun toys to roam around with, unwanted. 

[Dinaz]

1k GBP is an absurdly high price I'd say. If you want this to be live in game, the jetpack should be tied to certain conditions that'd allow you to access it. 

1. Unwanted

2. /war /assist disabled

3. Disallowing picking up the VIP

4. Disallowing SR circle progress 

5. Disallowing player damage (this could be used as a rule instead of a script, to provide more flexibility and comfort for whomever is rich enough to help the server with such amount((cases where one wants to DM with his friends)). Should the player break that rule, the perk is stripped off of the donator for misuse)

And whatever else that may affect the gameplay

Ahh yes, let's add new shit to abuse.
