But I'm trying to make a model here where I can actually spend more time working on said features. Removing money from the equation would make this relatively worthless in my eyes (I'd rather just work on the features I want to as a priority).

Forgive me for not reading the front part of the thread if this has been said.

I checked option 2, but will check option 1 had it been something like "Each user can only sponsor a limit of x dollars per idea and cannot spend more until the idea has been checked through."

Without going into details, I don't want some of us to lose control over their finances (some people love games so much they'll spend money to just get a TINY advantage - see MapleStory) or cry foul over "certain" individuals being able to get their idea higher up the queue because they have the moolar to do it. It'll be bad if a mundane idea is pushed so high up the queue through sponsorship and which swamps over excellent ideas, although I accept that usually that isn't the case.

Setting some upper limits may not be a bad idea, but that said; I don't think it would need to be implemented until actually required. No point in adding unnecessary restrictions before observing a problem.

Also, I see the wishlist of features being fairly consistent across the community; maybe with different priorities based on hiw you use the game.

I doubt the poor folk would often disagree with sponsorship of a feature.

What will happen to the ideas that are good, but without any money involved?

The obvious - they won't get a priority boost, unless others decide it is a good idea and sponsor it. Remember that a "good idea" is usually "good" in the eyes of the person who thought of it. People will support good ideas should they be truly impressive. (Of course I still have the final say in what gets implemented ).

Still, if this gets used a lot, then a person with a great feature request will get flooded with payed one, and might have to wait a real long time to get his feature implemented . And I think there won't be many people willing to pay for some else his feature request.

This is where you're wrong. Many of the most significant features are agreed upon by large segments of the community.

And if they like it, they'll support it.

I like the sound of this idea~


That's like saying that nobody should star anyone else's maps because it gives their map more competition. Getting your feature request added first isn't some kind of competition, lol.

Stars don't cost money.

"Great" ideas are usually agreed upon by peppy and given higher priority anyway, so this system would be mainly useful for the dozens of other features that keep popping up. :S

I like the idea and will definitely 'donate' money if i can miss it to improve osu! in any way possible. money. time. effort. no matter what.

If someone on the future request post a success request, the Credits can give some to poster ??
Because when someone thing that post is a good post, that will use a lot of money for support.
And I think if the succesed post can Gave Back some Credits to the one WHO is support that idea that will be like to auction and get a great motion to be a supporter.

That is my idea.

oh fuck

next paycheck going into SB masks D=
