why cars must be permanent

Hi Developers and Life in Nature Community,

I am writing to bring immediate attention to a critical issue regarding the vehicle economy following the recent update.

We completely understand the dev team's reasoning behind increasing prices in the Point Shop to balance the economy and prevent point inflation. However, the timing makes this adjustment feel especially harsh: while new ways to earn points were added in a much earlier update, vehicle purchase prices and extension fees in the Point Shop have suddenly skyrocketed by 2.5× their previous costs.

While the cheapest starter cars remain accessible enough for everyday players to buy in the Point Shop, high-performance vehicles like the Falcon GT now require an overwhelming amount of work to obtain and maintain. On top of these inflated prices, players must still pay for ongoing services, maintenance, and repairs. Features like custom license plates and full vehicle customization are fantastic additions designed to let us express our identity and make cars truly feel like our own personal possessions—yet forcing us to repeatedly rent them through daily extension fees completely undermines that sense of true ownership. Making cars permanent in the Point Shop is the necessary final step to make vehicle personalization genuinely meaningful so our cars can truly feel like our own.

Proposed Solution: Permanent Vehicle Option at Ellen’s Point Shop To create a fair long-term progression system while keeping the economy balanced, we strongly urge the development team to introduce Permanent Vehicle Ownership at Ellen’s Point Shop:

Tiered One-Time Investment: Allow players to buy or convert vehicles into permanent items at the Point Shop for a one-time fee starting at 100,000 points, scaling higher based on the car model and performance tier (so high-performance cars still require significant effort to earn).

Shift Focus to Customization
