After getting clarification from another user in the news post, I honestly have no problem with the reward system.

I can't understand quite why people feel like they deserve to get a perk for spending csc with sP, (I really dony care either) It seems like that idea sprang up with the bobble headthing, which obviously was a horribly executed idea (first set way too hard, second set run down into the floor cheap)

I am one of the users completely fustrated with subeta, and I don't have money to spend every month either. Do I feel excluded? Not really, if there is an item I want, [mmmmm kitty leggings] I can still buy it. I think most of the animosity comes from irritation with the way the site is running.

What happens when a card is filled before it expires or is retired or whatever the term, and you buy more credits? Do you get to start another card and garner more rewards? do they roll over to when a new card is released? Or, are they lost forever?

But I don&;t like that it completely excludes the users who purchase CSC from other users with sP. I would rather the loyalty system be similar to the old one in a sense that for every 1000 credits you SPEND (not buy) counted towards the achievement/stamps/etc.
I agree^

Can someone please explain to me how spending csc that you bought with sp on things in the cash shop is loyalty? That's like saying you're loyal to the site and want an item for spending sp on any item in the shop search. No. If you want an item, you want the item. You buy the item. You aren't automatically entitled to an extra item for that. Loyalty in the csc sense means you spend irl cash to support the site. Otherwise, you're only being loyal to subeta with your TIME and guess what? The phrase may be time is money, but your time isn't going to help pay the site's bills. In terms of server usage, you're actually just a freeloader. So it baffles me how anyone can sit here and say they deserve extra perks for buying things from the cash shop with csc they didn't actually spend irl money to obtain. And I'm a so-called freeloader, because I haven't spent a penny on the site.

Someone has to pay the bills. I think what would be truly aggravating if those items were locked to the person's account, so no one else could truly get them. But it doesn't work that way, and you can just wait around and watch certain items deflate, because like someone else said on the news, not everyone will like the item enough to keep it.

Sorry if this came off as overly aggressive. It just peeves me to see people wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

edit: Oh and btw we already have a system in place that rewards every single user on this site for their loyalty. It's called loyalty boxes.

- That is the best post here bar none :) I drop real cash into this site every two weeks and I'm happy that I won't need to be getting a crazy old bobble heads anymore. Seeing the new stuff is just another incentive for me to drop more cash into the site.

Aw, thanks. xD I'm really happy it's more fair by being consistent rather than rewarding you with a bobblehead worth like 1k sp times too many to count and care anymore. If it weren't for people like you, people like me wouldn't get to play this site for free, and I'm really grateful for that. You guys should get loyalty perks (that are consistent for once) for that. It's about time. :)

I completely agree with & , users who don't purchase csc directly should not be rewarded. You aren't doing anything for the economical value of subeta by purchasing a csc card that someone else bought - in fact you're really just using their money (and the money already in the system) to purchase the items you want, I just don't see why you should get perks for that. :)

The reward system isn't meant to alienate people or cast out those who don't spend money but rather is being used to let users who do get a few extra 'thank you for supporting us' items from the site.

I only have one negative point and that's the fact that I personally don't care for any of the items from the card...but that's my own problem. Apart from that I like the new loyalty system and understand why the change has been made.

I understand the system - But it doesn't mean I like it.

I really only purchased things from the CS to get the bobble heads - because I'm a collection whore. With that removed I have no real reason to buy from the CS when I can just buy stuff from usershops. shrug

After thinking on it some more, the people who continue to spend real money here aren't getting perks that are that good-for lack of a better word-with this new system right now.

The old collection rewarded more varied prizes and items like weapons that tend to retain value better. Maybe the system will improve as new perks are released but for now it doesn't seem like much of an incentive for the players who have spent money over the years to continue doing so.

A reward system is a nice thing that Subeta didn't have to do by any means, and it certainly doesn't discourage people from buying from the Cash Shop, but I don't think this one encourages it either at the moment.

Hmm. Well my subscription just got billed, and I didn't get any credit toward the reward card. Are there any plans to change this? I've cancelled my subscription for now.

Have you filed a ticket? I don't know enough about the loyalty card, but the UAs/AAs may be able to see if it was intentional for the subscriptions to count, and you're more likely to get the assistance you need. They can't respond to anything confidential, like a credit card purchase, on the forums.

Thanks for the suggestion -- I've filed a ticket, and the person who responded is checking on this with the programmers.

I do like this idea and I love the fact that the prizes will change in due time with new cards. I'm wondering though, if you purchase 20 dollars worth of credits (and it says you get a stamp for every 1k csc you buy) does that mean you'd get 2 stamps? I usually buy csc once a month unless it's a special occasion. Either way this is exciting and I'm looking forwards to seeing what comes next.

Hold the phone... I thought you got a prize per stamp. Like I was poking fun at the people saying you had to fill the entire card for one item but no I'm the idiot. Oops.

Do not like.

You get an item prize every 2k (two stamps). Another one of the stamps gives you a title.

I'm checking with the programmers regarding the subscriptions--it should absolutely work with that and was, not sure why it stopped! It will again and we'll get anyone who it didn't give stamps to situated. Make a ticket if this is you!
