For me it's fine to have a Credits and a Shop Addon. What's i hope to NOT see is to have a "Basic Shop Addon" and various "paid subaddons" for single features (like ******* Model).
Add-on [AD Credits] What would you like to see in a credits add-on?

Actualy i think about forum owners who run porn and movie board, paypal option to view thread or start new ones, so must check specified amount of money 5,10,15$ to proceed

Which can be paid for using the credits that you bought with paypal.

That will depend on the features included in the plugin, how much work ends up being put into it, etc. More details about that will be given closer to the release.

Would love to see integration with xfArcade - an arcade pass and costs to play games/jackpots/incrementing jackpots etc - used to be popular back in the days of vB3 and v3Arcade
I've never really been a fan of things like using credits to buy avatars, username colours, usertitles etc but I think credits can enhance addons like the arcades, paying to download resources, gallery albums etc. And also compatiblilty with addons like stocktrader and sportsbook.

I've been thinking about this a bit and how I'd incorporate it into my community... If it's possible to purchase timed access to a secondary user group (i.e. Ad Free group for 300 credits for 30 days), you'd have a sale.
It'd be even better if when configuring actions that provide credits, NOT doing those actions would eat away at your account. For example, posting gives you 1 credit, but not posting for a 24 hour period removes .5 or something. Visiting every day gives you a credit, but not visiting for 24 hours takes away a credit. Visiting the site every day for 7 days consecutively gives you 100 credits, etc.
Are these things you could incorporate?

Absolutely this. .25 credits per play or something would be awesome.

That is something we have planned for the shop sub-addon.
Not sure about this one, we would definately consider it if it's something people would actually use, if it isn't something most people would use it would be better as a separate sub-addon rather than including it in the core.

I would even want to have something automatic. Of course, a buyable VIP group, but some others available for people according to the credits they own in order to create a progression within the community.

So something like:
Registered User purchases "Super User" secondary group ==> "Super User" has access to purchase "Mega User" secondary group ==> "Mega User" has access to purchase "Ultimate User"... Etc?

I was thinking of the same system as user promotion. Registered User with 100 credits become Active User, Active User with 200 credits become Awesome User etc. If they don't have enough credits to stay in these groups, they fall down to the previous one and life goes on 
And of course, buyable groups
And of course, buyable groups

That should be doable.
No set release date yet, it will be released when it is finished.

If we want to use Valve Time we can always go with my personal favorite "soon"
I prefer the Blizzard "When it's ready"

Just finished what I call "Smart Reset". It will allow you to reset the number of credits for every user on the board to the amount they should have based on the number of threads, posts, and trophies they have. Right now it is pretty inefficient, as it uses 3 queries from the start per user plus another query for every post they have. This will be fixed to only use 3 queries per user total before release though.
Also, it uses the deferred system in XenForo so you can run batches anywhere from 0 all the way up to whatever you want (definately not recommended to run it for more than a few users at a time though, espcially if you have a large board with a lot of users and posts.
EDIT: It now only uses 3 queries. (one to get threads, one to get posts, and one to get trophies). It does, however, use joins in each query to fetch the needed information from other tables (eg. Forum override for points per post/thread)
