:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Could you please change the rules so that there are no time limits when redeeming contracts and other items in the game using golden or silver planes? It’s incredibly frustrating that if I just bought 10 new contracts, I can’t buy anything else for 2-5 days. I find this feature completely unnecessary and ridiculous. Please remove this time limit for purchases. It makes absolutely no sense.

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
Players who wish to redeem their silver or gold plane should have the opportunity to do so multiple times a day; therefore, I would simply remove this time limit.

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?

It doesn’t frustrate anyone and gives players more opportunities to get multiple contracts and other things as well.

This is what it is about.

Its also for your own safety that if someone take control of your account that they not spend to much real or ingame currency

It encourages the spending of gold planes (which you can even slowly get for free!) as well which is how the developers get their salary to put food on their tables and pay for the servers that powers the game. The model makes sense to me, you can play 100% for free, if you want to go faster, the cost is probably some cold hard cash…. think of it as a Thank You for making the game!

I buy a lot of things in WoPA with my own money, which the developers are obviously happy about. Nevertheless, I find these limitations unnecessary, aside from the security they probably represent! That’s why I’m always very detailed with my suggestions. Since I spend a lot of my own money in this game, I expect a lot in return, especially regarding updates! I’m already looking forward to HK. But I’m also a bit disappointed that the 747 series won’t be fully included in the update as they announced… that makes me suspicious again!

That’s not how this works.
The money you spent buys you the game features as presented. You are not buying privileges, not securing future developments and not making the devs work for you. They owe you nothing.

Yes, your money aids in the continued existence of the dev team. But if they decide to all quit tomorrow there is no reason anywhere for you to get (part of) your money back.

As for being suspicious, you admit to feeling entitled. And worried they will cheat you out of something, Again, they owe you nothing.

(And don’t say you meant something else, because then you would or should have written something else.)

So, to make one thing perfectly clear! I don’t expect to get it back, and I don’t want any advantages from it. These are simply my personal expectations, which are high because I know the game still has a lot of potential. You didn’t understand what I’m trying to say! Whether I purchase features or not, they still profit from our investment, and I’m happy to do it; it’s also my way of showing appreciation to the team!

You can not imagine how often I am asked to revert the transactions (and in that case I cant revert it) because players cats or siblings or indian or nordic gods get over their devices and miraculously spend GPs or SPs on any possible item in the game. And, technical part, the database is capable just handle some level of traffic as well we pay for every call to the database so we try to bundle the calls or avoid too many at once.

Yes i understand

There is a very important sidenote why they introduced it like this.
As active players get millions of silverplanes very easy, it means they would get an infinite amount of goldplanes. For me, i have 4,094mio silverplanes, that might be 4094 goldplanes if there is no time limit.
So would be about 500€ worth of goldplanes.
If the devs would let me get soo many GPs so quickly, they are not making money at all.

Its very nice, tht the game is completely free to play, you can get anything in the game without spending money.
Just not all at once.
