The thing I find the most irritating, is as has been pointed out before, the so-called updates on the various offsite sites don't actually say anything. It says on that stupid Terracoon 'site is down' page to check twitter or facebook for updates, and you go there and there aren't any updates. None whatsoever. So I'm like 'why should I go there, it never says anything'. I have never seen any updates that i would consider updates, just bland comments that say "Yeah, working on it" and it's like suuure, cuz as we can see, once it's been worked on, not much is different.

But yes, I find most of the time, the "benefits" of a gold account are... minimal at best. So why get one if you don't really get /that/ much out of it? I never spend real money on gold accounts... I hardly ever put money into this site period- not worth it when the stability is so shaky.

I can say tho... today at least. I haven't seen any 502's... yet (knock no wood).

I would be willing to bet that while CWs have waned a bit in popularity, they're still the biggest moneymaker for the site. Yet the wardrobe has been broken for over a year for many/most players. The biggest reason people buy GAs is for autopricing, but we've had our shops severely screwed with and saw little benefit from that and now autopricing has been broken for shops that are still well within the limit of items since before 10/1. There was a board made on 10/1, but I had been having problems with it for a few days prior to that and we have heard absolutely nothing from staff about it.

I got my first GA 4 months after joining. I'll have been on subeta 8 years on October 18th. I've not been without a GA since that time (minus the time Keith accidently killed all the GAs). Until today. My GA expired just before midnight yesterday and I have not gotten another.

I will get my loyalty box in another week and may eventually activate the 3 month GA from there particularly if it is more helpful during the holidays but right now I don't feel the need, have the desire, to invest in another one. And it's a shame.

I think I bought a GA with real money only once. Otherwise I just use my profit to buy one. However, I'm almost ready to just let it expire and forget about it. I know staff wants support, even just moral- but it's hard to work up the effort to give it when you feel like your support yields little to no results

I've bought it with real funds and also with sP depending on how my own money situation has been, but someone had to have bought with real funds for me to get it with sP so I still considered it helping. And have always been (well nearly) happy to do so even through some of the hardest times on subeta. I was really surprised at my own attitude when I got the notice my GA was expiring in 3 days and then had expired. I just kinda shrugged my shoulders.

Auto pricing broken on larger shops, wardrobe perpetually being "worked" on, lag and errors and bread crumbs of responses often hidden away. It sometimes feels like subeta is work because I have to hunt down everything that Keith and the staff should post in plain site. If the information I want to know is posted at all. For all the problems if communication was better I don't think I'd feel so meh about all of it.

Though results would be even better.

I bought with real money until exchange rates were bad, and then, I bought with SP, and now, most of the time, I don't even bother with buying with SP anymore because it isn't worth the 17M per week

GUESS WHO'S THE BAD BITCH WHO WAS ON SUBETA FOR 10 YEARS. IT ME.

Spoilers, I'm not expecting it to make it to 20

The 504s/502s are especially bad today. :T I was trying to get as much of my quests done before midnight, but given how the site's been acting, I'd be surprised to finish half of them.

This whole 504/02 thing is getting real ridiculous. Why doesn't staff just take subeta down for a few days like it used to and try to fix this?

We were told several times in the past that taking the site down for days would not be a solution to fix the site, because of different reasons.

Namely, the servers don't have the strain of 700 users, so they might be less eager to replicate errors they need to see to fix.

They know where part of the errors are, but when I checked earlier today, no programmer has been seen for at least three days on the main site.

And I realize that this may not really be your department, but no one else on staff is bothering to communicate what is happening.

Daily goal at 21% this morning, today seems like a strong day for this.

However, 502 and 504 palooza. Wow. I even had two trying to access the cash shop earlier.

Ive been reading this and feeling the same way everyone else is...My husband and I have barely been coming on, trying to price a shop is slow as hell if it doesnt error out, trying to do anything in wardrobe is pointless...trying to do quests with white screens and errors...again...and like everyone has said morostide (a usually big event for the site) is just around the corner and the status page, facebook isnt giving me any answers. Its just frustrating.

Wondering if the site is going to be able to handle Morostide, which I am really looking forward to.

I have also been getting a lot of 502s the past couple of days, and no updates on the status site...

With the way the site is running, I highly doubt Morostide will be enjoyable. I WANT to be wrong, but there's no clear indication of the site running smoother in time for the event.

I feel kind of betrayed. I made a thread a few months ago about how the staff's communication has improved. It did improve after the shop fiasco, but has dropped off again since last month. What happened?

I want to be able to feel confident in spending money on here, but I can't as of now. Even time feels more wasted here. And, as more people feel the same way, the worse the site's situation is going to get.

Posting on here as well, as I thought I'd add my two cents.

I've been a Subeta member for over 9 years now. I've been on this site for a long, long time. However, even though I'm spotty when it comes to site activity, I've been trying to get active and finally do quests on a daily basis, among other things. However, I confess myself very disappointed by just how many Cloudflare errors I am getting, which says that the host for Subeta online keeps going down.

I pay for a Gold Account membership every month, usually extra in order to autotrain my pets, and buy Cash Shop items. That's $10, roughly, every month, as a low estimate, or $120 a year. I rely on Gold Account membership in order to have access to the autopricer, to sell the items I get from quests.

However, given how buggy the site is, and the other feedback I've been reading here, I'm seriously reconsidering continuing to spend money on the site at all. As others have mentioned, the Wardrobe has been broken and buggy for over a year, with no solid solution in sight. My last avatar didn't even show all of the clothing items I'd supposedly saved.

That's left me wondering, what is exactly is my money going towards? And why is my $120+ annual "perks fee" not going towards actually fixing, or improving / bettering, the website?

It seems to me that Subeta and its staff have a lot of 'splaining to do.

Yeah this has been going on for years and we're always told more/new servers are being added, infrastructure updates, things reprogrammed, etc. and nothing changes. It's really disappointing and frustrating.

For the record, daily goal hit 45% last night, it's the highest it's been for a day that's not the 1st and not a sales day for a while.

I also want to mention that the issues I have with staff communication are with some departments only. It's not everyone.

Some departments are well-managed and I have little to say about the ones doing their job well, and telling us the information they can, but the ones who are lacking are REALLY lacking lately.

Which wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is, if the communication we were getting from staff wasn't canned 'per our site status page' BS. That site is worthless:

That part about needing to replicate the errors sounds a bit like hogwash at this point. They've had weeks of 502s/504s to gather data on, I don't see why they need more. I'd sooner believe the actual problem is the lack of coders, not that they need more info on the errors.
