Any thoughts on selling 1/2 an energy refill for 6 or 7 GPs? Thanks.

Will never happen, since GP is the only way Dan makes money. And if you could do this, nobody would ever buy GP and the game would go out of business.

I think this is the biggest -1 I've ever given.

-1 on selling anything for GP, but disregarding that, this would make no sense. You could sell a full energy refill for 12 GP, buy one for 10, sell it for 12, ad infinitum.

I believe the OP meant Dan should sell 1/2 refills.

Well then I retract my earlier statement. I know that I personally have had situations where I didn't need a whole refill. I'd give a cautious +1.

Why not a full refill?

Say you're going to rank up soon, and you don't need a full refill, but need energy to get there.

Well, think of it this way. You want milk but you only have a little bit of cereal left so you don't want to buy a full gallon to let it go to waste. So you buy a half gallon. It costs a bit more in relation but you don't waste your money and end up throwing half a gallon out when it goes bad.

Or in an easier way. You have a lot of XP and a full refill would be useless.

For some of us it only takes 1/2 a refill to rank - I'd probably end up giving Dan more money than I do now with 1/2 refills.

Well if it costs more to do a half refill than a full refill, I'd do the full refill and dump it all into the base when I'm about to level up. It's cheaper, you level up and you help your base.

Well, you can only put in 2k at a time so for people with like 7k+ energy bars that is rather useless and still makes this a better deal.

I'm just saying that there are ways to use your energy without wasting a bunch of it that doesn't require half refills.

As an example - I am an autoranker (and occasional cc warrior). When I want to do just missions in a hurry and buy a full refill, or use a cube, etc., I can either finish missions until I am almost at the next rank, donate 2k energy, and throw away 1300, or not do as many missions, which was the whole point of the run...

Well unfortunately Dan does not like autoranking, nor will he implement anything that helps that.

Or what if Mento only needs say, 2000 energy to kill your base? :P

I don't want to autorank, just play more - As I said, it would actually make Dan MORE money than he's making now.
