in most browser game you cannot buy any luxury item for earned credits, only for real money. It is absolutely normal.
According to MA, 10 PED = 1 USD.
I agree with OP, i think a few people got screwed if making big depo right before they released the boxes.
It is absolutely normal.
And that is precisely the problem.
If EU becomes like all those other pay-to-win games then there is no longer any point to its existence.
Because MA wants your money (not ingame, but additional depo)!
But as you probably know, in most browser game you cannot buy any luxury item for earned credits, only for real money. It is absolutely normal.
That is, you as an old-timer, do not would to give opportunities to rise other aspects the game? In my opinion, old times are gone. There is a new direction and MA must continue to go there. All oldtimers can leave EU - with new functions MA will found 100 new players instead each of them.

This I agree

But this I don't. Cause the way the economies work in your example and EU are different (one's positive, the other's negative).
To be honest, I think the real reason is more along the line that even MA themselves don't "recognize" the value of PEDs. That is...until the moment you initiate a withdrawal, and only until then...that they are forced to recognize it.
The game fundamentally survives on "deposits" and nothing else.
And unless that changes, I highly doubt they would ever allow us to use already existing in-game PEDs to buy stuff from the webshop.
(For that to happen, each and every PED in-game must be backed by real cold hard cash. Every 10 PEDs backed by 1 USD. Unless and until then, PEDs are nothing more than "another game's in-game fake money".)
i dont agree , i had a cash card , and i could spend my ped in irl shop , or take cash from ATM machine...
Heys I'm, feeling like a worn Hack Saw blade. .All oldtimers can leave EU - with new functions MA will found 100 new players instead each of them.
Why its impossible to buy box or what ever from webshop with ped ?
...also , i can simply withdraw ped to my bank acount , and then buy stuff from webshop ,beside the fact that i feed bank , it just increase job at MA since they handel withdraw hand way...
waste of time for everyone...

Is it still a functioning service or is it something that was provided in the past?
I've heard about it before, but have always thought that it was discontinued?
Could you provide additional info on this?
its discontinued , it was very consting service , and i think MA had hard time to provide all guarenty , maybe there is law problem too.
MA tryed to create a bank , to offer that service ( and other ) back in game , but failled to do so.
not much info to provide , you had to pay for the cash card , and provide many paper .some time after you get your card home.after you had to put ped on card before you spend them as $(max was 20k ped per month).there was some bank fee all the way , but well , was still fun to go to shop or restaurent , and pay in ped.
Well it sucks for some that don't have paypal or a CC (not me someone else) but has and gets their peds via a bank account but cannot get anything from the webshop via the bankaccount. That sucks!
i think ma dont want people to use ped because the will just cycle what the buy sell and rinse a repeat
they want more money ingame make it harder to get it out
your ped are worthless to them again pure money coming in
because what ever you would buy in ped from the shop you get back the same the would have better put the stuff at the tt machine
Your bolded statement shows exactly why old timers are not that easily replaceable
It becomes a bit strange when you can't buy the stuff with ingame PED, but you can withdraw the peds and get real cash and buy it with them.
This way MA buys time when they are holding the cash.
I did exactly this: bought 200 boxes and withdrawn 250$ (to counter fees).
Now i need to wait 3 months to get the cash back.
So basicly MA has bought time this way.
If the boxes would be buyable with PED from ingame then i would be buying about 200-400 boxes each day (i can cycle up to 5k peds daily easily) so soon i would have all the ul rings x5 (except unique ones) and that would make them not so rare and would ruin the whole concept of boxes.
So as well instead they could just put the rings at TT=10ped and selling at 30ped (so 20ped markup for MA) at NPC. Would work exactly the same (@edit: notice this is EXACTLY the mechanics for those new resurection chips ).
