      flaunt their financial dominance

      There really is no good reason why stuff like this should be added to FAF, ever. FAF is not in financial need. Splitting the player base into groups of "those who pay" and "those who don't" just so that people with more money can flaunt it... what an incredibly unproductive idea.

        Ok, this line was just 4 fun added, don´t take it serious man.

        I thought some money would help to improve the client, money will not help?

          Have a read to understand the current financial situation of the FaF association.

            If you have too much money, just send it to me.

              While i dislike the option, before saying "FAF is not in financial need" i'd make a list of what should get fixed and the costs ☠
              Just by memory i recall a few operations possibly requiring more than the current total budget. More money can never hurt the project imo, still, not like this.

              Sorry @GrabADrink but i'd never wanna see FAF in the micro transactions state many modern games adopted, even if just for lobbies. If the goal is to keep the project alive you won't do it by having people get mad and leave.

                  Apologies for the Russian players, whose toilet-paper money might not go far, but the FAF project should not account for that. I assume and expect that 90% of players who would complain about such a premium feature would continue playing regardless.

                  I'd remove that sentense, you are just straight forward insulting players based on their nationality. And FYI there are players that are capable of contributing to project in other way. Thanks.

                    Ok, i will take a look at this Post.

                    To be honest it´s not all about the faf financial situation, i would totally pay to not having ice maps with blue icons or always get the orange color, sometimes not in a mood for a navy map.

                        @Ctrl-K i followed your advice and changed that sentense to not insult someone.
