Miles Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 What do you think about the new PRO Donator tag and image on the forum? I'm not sure where I stand. I don't really want to look special on the forums just because I donated; I feel it creates a visual gap between donators and the free players that we voluntarily support with our donations, and my conscience doesn't agree with that. On the other hand, I can see how other people might think it's no big deal and I wouldn't disagree much, so I'm a little conflicted. They also removed all post-count related member groups just to implement this, but that I really don't like. Spawn Guide (Forever Outdated) - MS Shop (Forever Closed) - Mt.

Sickkitten Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 i don't mind it, b.c now i can see everybody who wasted their money pointlessly donating only to maybe be rewarded with something. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domonoco Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Ya it seems like it is just to get people to become donators. But it isn't really a big deal so I don't mind. :) also it isnt pointlessly wasting money if they feel they are going to be playing this game for a REALLY long time. Js.

Jyim Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 1. I don't mind it I kinda like it actually 2. It may encourage others to donate more which will help out the PRO community in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 410072. It may encourage others to donate more which will help out the PRO community in the end.But do you think it's really necessary to divide the community simply to accomplish this? There are better ways to promote donations. Spawn Guide (Forever Outdated) - MS Shop (Forever Closed) - Mt. Goon (Forever GOATs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Js. yes it is lol, you're putting money into something & getting nothing in return besides a cliche user bar on the forums. at least other games when you donate, or invest any kind of money into it, you actually get something out whether it be something that benefits you in the game, or something as measly as a unique in game cosmetic. what is honestly encouraging me to donate any of my hard earned money? absolutely nothing, & all this seems like is the administration (or whoever) is playing off the simple minded majority that will donate purely to have "donator" under their username to have some kind of sense of "status" among everyone else, like wow TOTALLY WORTH IT. let's be real here ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 41011yes it is lol, you're putting money into something & getting nothing in return Game/forum maintenance and upgrades aren't "nothing" though, actually I don't expect anything but that from my donations. Anything else I'm given, like perks, is just a bonus. Spawn Guide (Forever Outdated) - MS Shop (Forever Closed) - Mt. Goon (Forever GOATs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better ways to promote donations. Well sure there are other ways to promote but look at my first point. I don't mind it and actually like it. Having a donator tag is much more appealing than having a half star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not implying i would because i can get these exact same things by spending in game money, which you don't need to spend real world money for, so it's still a waste imo) 41012 41011yes it is lol, you're putting money into something & getting nothing in return Game/forum maintenance and upgrades aren't "nothing" though, actually I don't expect anything but that from my donations. Anything else I'm given, like perks, is just a bonus. then what is all the money they accumulate from membership fees going to? just seems like to me they're trying to money grub at any opportunity they can that's short of outraging the entire community, & what about that exactly is encouraging me to donate? nothing still lol. especially since as i said in response to the above quote i can get the exact same things they offer you by donating, by spending in game money, which you don't need to spend real world money for!
