I agree with the cash being useful to dress up your dot. I know to many of us, including myself, that this seems pretty stupid. However, this is something that may hold a new players interest a little longer. It must be a drag to sign up, apply your SP's, only to find out your new team doesn't play a game for 43 hours. If there was something to fill the down time in the beginning it may keep more new players here.
There were a few ideas on here that could be made that wouldn't affect player builds. I like being able to add a box that you could add a players best plays. I have put replays on recruiting pages before, and to have them on the players page would make this easier. I also like being able to change the colors of EQ. It sounds lame, but again this would give new players something to do after they spent all of 5 seconds training their new dot.
Maybe a player could purchase the option to change his players page to the colors of his team?
Make player name changes cost $1000
Use cash to buy special GLB avatars
Use cash to buy a banner on a players page that says something like " Three time ST's MVP", maybe even put this on the agents home page playerlink.
All of that could be done without involving any in game mechanics.
I would go with even more game relevant than that, but this TOO is also a good thing.
Its one thing that people do not grok in game suggestion threads - that just because its not something YOU would enjoy it does not mean no one would enjoy it, nor that it would be bad for the game. Baskin Robbins would never have become Baskin Robbins to feed you ice cream if the only thing they sold was your favorite flavor, after all.
