Inf Sinks - Ideas?

Expensive versions of the new temporary powers like Envenommed Dagger, Kinetic Dampener and both Grenades with longer charges/number of uses.

They're mutually exclusive with the base powers, but let you carry 100 grenades, or a 2 hour Kinetic Dampener, for 20 million per crafting.
They don't allow the rich to do anything they can't already do, but make people pay for convenience.

I would love to know how much inf. has gone poof with the $20 M A-merit conversion.

My idea for an inf sink:

Change the statue of Atlas in Atlas Park for a statue of the Character who has donated the most inf to the City during the previous week. Change each new week. Public billboards where people can see who has donated what/when. Major vanity. :-D

Simulated gamblings

I want a Vanguard warmace

How about an entry fee for a mission in which the mobs have a higher chance to drop purples?

Every time someone sells an item on the market, a percentage goes to the bit bucket in the sky. The more times an item sells, the more inf disappears.

Therefore, we need more flippers. Thank you flippers for doing your part helping make the economy a happier place!

Perhaps I chose a poor title for this thread...

Maybe it should have been named:

"Suggestions for fun, stupid, pointless things you can blow inf on in the game."

This thread discusses ideas including servitors and billboard rentals:

How about "charitable causes"? Say that a finite number (e.g. 10) of charitable causes is established, and each month there is a list of the top 10 donors to that cause. What causes would inspire those of you in the wealthy elite caste to be a top 10 contributor to your selected cause? Perhaps there could be a temporary top 10 title to remind others of your generosity and wealth?

As to the badge suggestions, would this upset the serious badgers in the game, that there would be badges that they could not afford?

In real life, there are expensive membership clubs. How about establishing one or more membership clubs with an in-game physical location and expensive regular membership fees? For example, the club could have a location on top of a tall building with a revolving floor with a panoramic view. The club could have one location to which members could bring guests (to show off to your less wealthy friends and SG mates), and another location available only to actual members in which the Ebillionares could hobnob in game. If this location had a trading terminal....

I'd like some seriously purchasable temp powers. I like how all the new temp power recipes are out and about, but I'd like to be able to just BUY them instead of having to hope they drop or use the market. I say make all temp powers, with a few exceptions like TF rewards and Vanguard temps, available as purchasable items. Especially because there's no way to get the Chain Gun back once you've used it all up.

There should be a 1,000,000 inf elite market teleporter- 30 second cooldown. For people who don't want to wait half an hour.

EDIT: and if they made a temp power that worked like the medpack, only with Break Frees? I'd be on that like a cat on an asthmatic. They'd be like 5 million inf at wents and I'd be in there kicking and gouging with everyone else. You could make it not drop in the 40-50 range, for extra rarity!
