No.

If we plan to bring microtransactions in they have to be fully cosmetic at most, it shouldn't bring any advantage at all.

Naaah, I prefer all or nothing. For example I'll gladly pay a monthly subscription for an MMO but I won't pay for micro-transactions. In the case of Argonath and subscriptions tho, yeah...
So let's just leave it completely free.

I don't disagree Sal it's just at the point we're at, there is little incentive for the current developers to stay (most of us are getting older and don't want to stay around to get bad girled at for every choice and cried at all the time). At least in my perspective. I'm not saying I am leaving because I'm not getting paid. I'm just saying bills don't pay themselves and I spent over 30 hours last week to bring those updates. There is no budget for marketing in order to promote using more large-scale advertisement platforms; something a lot of other servers with huge populous do. More importantly we cannot upgrade our servers in order to provide a better quality of service, we cannot expand our services into new areas.

Oh, I was under the impression those ''bills'' were Argonath's bills, not yours.

I'd support micro-transactions for Vehicles and Properties.

I think this is fair enough; staff get the funds needed to maintain the server, and those of us who have busy schedules outside this game get access to items that would otherwise be unattainable.

Your missing the whole point of a RP server, the work and the RP needed to gain these items....is the gamplay. Getting vehicles and properties from this is 100% pay to win.

Micro-transactions are a great idea, if they result rewards such as: Animations, custom /p name color, custom log-in locations, exclusive /wear items or even interior items (which cannot be sold).

I support this as long as it's not about properties or vehicles.

There was one "rule" that Gandalf had that was righteous. And we want it changed... I get the whole, good meaning behind this. But I am damn sure this is going to go too far one day. I'm against this, sorry.
Lol.
@ OP Definite no to this. Gandalf has been very clear on this in the past. I don't know how he stands on it now, but I agreed with his words back then, and I'd use them to describe my stance in the matter now. No ArgoCoins please.
Lel.
What about those who work hard to buy a property, a vehicle or an item , wouldn't they be disadvantaged? I'm against this, if you want to donate you shouldn't get any advantage on other players. Everyone is equal right?

As far as I know, Gandalf does not allow it.

not sure how micro transactions are gonna be useful in samp if people dont want advantages. i mean i paid 79$ for a knife in cs go, donated in an arma 3 community server to get forum perks as well as VIP status with discounts on various items in game. if i pay, i better get advantages or not worth it.

Maybe CBs over 10000 can be bought with microtransactions? For example, I could pay $2 to have CB 13337 or 99999 reserved for me. Of course these cannot be transferred, idk about owning more than 1 CB.

And groups would be able to buy entire cities for as much as I paid for a game on steam, as opposed to them building up a respected legacy of hard work. See San Fierro and both groups having their names engraved into it.

i mean i paid 79$ for a knife in cs go
I can never understand this.
