I want to buy Elevator Passes but when I get one I feel like I have to do nothing but play SK for the whole duration.

Some suggestions!

1) Offer them in shorter durations. The 14-day pass in the one pack is nice, but... it's only in the one pack. 7-day and 14-day would be nice options to have besides just 30-day. (Actually I'd like to have even shorter ones so I can just play on weekends, but see number 3 below.)
2) Offer the ability to "pause" your pass. Of course you shouldn't be able to just do it willy-nilly, so there would be some restrictions: for example, the pause would last a minimum of 24 hours, and you couldn't pause more than 72 hours per 7 days or something. IDK. I got the idea from a certain casual game portal's subscription options, which included an option to "pause" your sub for one month at a time (but you can only do it once every other month).
3) Mini-pass packs! For example, $5 for a dozen 24-hour mini-passes or five 2-day passes or something. You get to choose when to activate mini-passes, like other usable items.

If the EP cost like £10+ and only lasted two weeks or something I'd agree in principle but...it costs like £2 and lasts a month. The amount of [time:ce ratio] you'd spend on elevator fees blows clean out the water, so even if you only play for two weeks of that month, you're still ultimately saving yourself a hell of a lot of [time/money/ce].

You're at no real loss whether you play 24/7 or not *shrugs*

Ep's are freedom

Granted, the timeliness of them can suck... But even if you only play for 2 hours and craft something you gey about 200+ce/day. That's farming Jk btw.
I made quite a bit of money, (and some f2p gunners happy) off farming OCH, which is almost only capable of being profitable when you have an elevator pass, even then mortafires weigh down your clearing time and make it less profitable than a bunch of vana/jk runs

I'd like to gift the Elevator

I'd like to gift the Elevator Pass. Have the item more like the Heat/Trinket/Weapon Upgrades.

Personally I'd like to see longer Elevator Passes as well. ie 3 month 6 month 12 month duration.

It could be maybe abuse for pausing

Why?

Because if you pause it for the weekends, it would end up as a yearly elevator pass. And you would be having like a free worth of elevator pass.

No to pausing.

But yes to having the 14-day available.

Thing is the price. If you dont play that much, standard mist and a small energy pack will do just fine.

Keep in mind prices wont be linear either, the more you buy, the cheaper it gets per unit, like with energy packs.
Four 7 days pack might be more expensive than one 30 days pass (and you get 2 extra days), nullifing any loss.

Of course it'd be more expensive.

But it would make sense for players who tend to play very intensively for a week here and there, rather than consistently over a month.
