AP is basically something to count your stats with, not AP money. But you can buy T-shirts and mugs off the store with real money.

AP is not money, so it'd be pretty pointless to get items for it...

I think this will most likely be shot down,mainly because no-one uses the shop that often anymore.Besides,that would mean the AP would have to be worth about 1 cent or less or else people would take advantage of it.

such as game ratings.

Except you can lose game ratings too, if the admins deem you have been abusing the feature to gain points.
Generally, that is the issue in its entirety. You want to pay with something that can be easily be both abused and removed.

Besides, it is all going to change when AG3 launches anyway.

Well that would be dumb, then AG would have to spend loads of money for everyone to get free prizes. This isn't a free give-away.

Using the smallest iota of electricity to make the equivalent of a penny? Armor games would run out of money fast.

Maybe so-many-armor points unlocks premium on the games for free or something. Certain armorgames sponsored games. But that would be unfair to an extent, especially with any highscore or 'share your stuff' kind of games.

Dregus2 is right. Armorgames would lose alot of money, because it is a free site. Unless you want a ton more advertising, the idea is not practical.

The only way that would make sense is if these prizes somehow increased the amount of users armorgames gets, thus allowing them to earn more money from advertisers

no bad idea cause if people have like 10000 ap they have 100$ and with that they buy stuff and sell in the real world to get even more money and i think thats illegal?

that's not good.....if that would come to play in the future one thing would go to another and Armor Games could possibly shut down like numerous other gaming sites.......i have to agree with Cenere

I believe this has been out debated by now, and the suggestion has been rejected on terms of being easy to abuse as well as expensive for the company and irrelavant for the course the AP will take during AGv3.
