remember this, it takes 16lbs of grain to make 1lb of meat, so the next time you see a starving kid on t.v. think about what your sticking in your face
But It's not as If we're taking the grain from starving countries to make the equivalent of meat And that is only the WEIGHT of the grain, what about the nutritional value of that?

But I would want them to do so you could only view the code when you use the item and that it can only be used once (so that you could sell it without anyone risking to get scammed)

I think for players more ads would always be welcome if they in fact increase loot. I`ve never ran with them off so I can`t comment about any differences. Not that I like listening to them but if there is a possibility of greater reward then that`s how I run. I figure it shows support for the practice too. The tough part is showing value from the ads to those who buy them. And having ran quite a few sites and trying to sell to people I know it`s not always easy. Targeting has to be well directed and the investment low enough to promote continuation of running the ads. That`s a part we may never know. Perhaps they companies did`nt see too much roi?

What would be nice and how I envisioned ads could work is that the revenue could be shared in the form of better loot. As if we are investors in EU which we are in many ways. MA brought us EU and we allow it to survive with our time and money invested. Any acknowledgement of that fact I think would do wonders for relations.

just to be clear, when the ads were introduced, MA stated that having them enabled would "allow access to larger loots" ... there was no mention of "better loot"

yes there maybe larger loots, but to me it just seems like the rich get richer. This game works like Robin Hood in reverse it robs from the poor to give the rich.

i agree with advertising/branding/sponsorship but what i dont agree with is real world items can you people see that said items would have been peds therefoe recycled into the ga.... universe . but real world items actually take peds away because the are in the real world.
