To players with limited time.
My idea is simple, PGI should offer "concentrated" premium time. Pgi could allow you to get premium time that offers bigger bonuses over a shorter period of time.
What percentages would be good for this idea and how much time do you get versus regular premium time?

Honestly, I'd be worried someone who has a lot of money might abuse it but, I think its helpfulness outweighs that.

I have like almost a year of banked time.
If they were to offer a condenced version, I would rather it be something along the lines of a choice when applying a 30 day chunk; would you like 30 days of normal time or a week of condenced time; then it is not abusive as you paid for 30 days but will exchange 30 days for a 7 day hyper performance increase.
Probably only really useful for those who, like me, don't play often enough to see a use for premium time; but would like to benefit from it when they do play.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I was just wondering if someone might buy a ton of condensed prem time without needing it. Then again, maybe that's good for PGI.

This is a great idea. If I could condense a day worth of "normal" premium time into 2 hours of "super" premium time, which I choose when to activate, which I only activate in 2 hour chunks, and with something like 3x or 5x income from matches, I definitely would.
It's a huge shame that something this awesome and convenient for the individual player is so contrary to PGI's interests and business model, though. PGI wants your premium time to be diluted into 30 day blocks, knowing that you can't possibly be online all the time during those 30 days and therefore can't possibly get good value for your premium time money. They want your premium time purchase to pay for server time for 10 or 20 other players throughout those 30 days

Tbh, I'm pretty sure it'd be better for both PGI and the players if people buy more premium time due to its increased value. I mean, if someone wants to regularly purchase condensed premium time, pgi is going to make boatloads of cash.
