yeah... when the landgrab comes, i want to have my camo jungle and try to take down a few people even just for fun... so : i'm ready to pay peds to actually own it, because if i just borrow it, well, when it comes to big events and such, well i probably have to give it back to someone who wants to compete as well... lending systme wouldn't hurt the competition spirit neither in combat, nor in economy in my opinion... especially because after trying a good item, you probably get such a thrill (imagine a modfap in your hands for one hour, what would you do ?) that you want to buy it more than ever, even though you can't...

Forbidding player run banks is a nice way to enforce a monopole, after finding out that maybe there was no need for licenses. Now they don't say there is NEED for license, but that you MUST have one anyway. I am so happy that Mindark finally show their true face : this real cash economy is not capitalism, it is not communism, it is not socialism, it is totalitarian all the way. Big brother just got bigger... Enjoy !
