I offer Aardwolf as an example of why this "pay for perks" option would just muddle things further.

I haven't played Aardwolf for over a year, but it used to be that you could donate cash at certain fund raising times and receive quest or trivia points in return. For the sake of argument, let's assume it's still like that.

If the people pushing for pay for perks got their way...Aardwolf (and other games like it) would have to classify itself in the same category as the IRE games. This would be completely unreasonable. The "perks" you can get in Aardwolf were a minor aspect of your character's ability. Aardwolf is the exact opposite of IRE as far as I can tell: time put into your character is the ultimate trump card.
