If you want to know why there won't be anymore (at least with rare items, legendaries, cash shop items) take a look at the complaining nature in the forums. <i>That</i> is unfair, and the result of that is no more giveaways.

UGHHHHHH @ all the people who said "another giveaway for the americans": seriously, do you guys think you are the only ones who missed out??? in my timezone, the giveaway began at 12:14 am, when most of the people i know were already asleep. and have you overlooked all the other things they have given as in the past week? are you all seriously that selfish? and i can't believe that you guys would get all pissy [can i say that? >.>] over the fact that you didn't get a super rare item you were saving for. BIG WHOOP! you can just keep on saving; after all IT'S NOT REAL!

sorry for the rant =P

I can't believe that people complained like that. They are ungrateful and greedy. I didn't get anything spectacular, but had fun. I totally understand staff being upset and not wanting to do further giveaways, but I have another solution that I hope they will consider. Make it a rule that no complaining about giveaways will be tolerated and anyone complaining will be banned from the donation center. This punishes only the offending users and not the majority who enjoy and are grateful for the giveaways.

I understand where your frustration is coming from, but to punish the entire member base? o.O The fact that some users are so selfish and childish to complain over a -free- giveaway is unfortunate, but in no way does that speak for the rest of us. I've seen a lot of good come from the giveaways, and I'm tremendously appreciative of them. Not only do some people find wishlist items that they never dreamed they would obtain, but there's this wave of generosity that overcomes everyone when a big giveaway is going on. I see a -lot- of people just handing out extras to people still looking for certain items. In the last giveaway someone gave me their extra Love Bucket and I gave someone my extra Gold Valentines Pendant. If you look past the spoiled users who can do nothing but complain, the rest of us are still here, and we truly look forward to these giveaways. It'd be unfortunate if you truly stopped having them.

Well. To be honest an uninsulting to both sides, I'm disappointed in both. To see everyone up in arms because they weren't given a chance to receive any items is immature. We don't all win all the time, and the fact that Subeta is up and running, and that we got free cash shop credits should be at least enough to curb the panic over not getting a free item that someone else did.

At the same time I'm a bit disappointed in the staff that they would vow to not present any more giveaways because some people are complaining. I'm by far sure it's not the majority, and it's rather harsh to react to criticism by punishing everyone.

This whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

Other then that: Viva Subeta! Thanks for the fixes and the open ears loves!

am I the only one glad theres going to be no giveways? I worked really hard to get some expensive items... just for them to be given away to some users at a random time. PLEASE no more giveways subeta! Let people earn their items.

I just dumped a ton of tokens in the DC. So grab them while you can. ^-^

I did it via "Quick Stock" to avoid Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, but I've yet to see them arrive. So please let me know if they did, I'd hate for it to be a waste.

I was sure I'd commented on this before.. o_O.

Anyway. I missed the giveaway, but I don't mind; after all, I'm in a different timezone.

That sucks about everyone complaining. Why do others ruin it, not just for everyone else, but for themselves? I just don't get it.

Subeta will NEVER be Neopets. To be neopets, they'd first have to rename (or delete) every pet with a name that Neopets would die at being presented at, then they'd delete the Bloodred and Graveyard colours, and basically anything over a G rating, then they'd take away our freedom of speech.. cough

Keep up the good work, Keith.

So I just was visiting DC again and once more I recognized that many users really stick together in hearts. As I saw so many were willing to give out own items to donate so we inspire our own little giveaway. That touched me deep so I straight went to donate some items, too and even if none of these donated items are very special or expensive or something like that they come from the deep of users hearts and make me love them so much more. Even those who don't want to get rid of their stuff donate Vouchers to make clear their point of view, that's amazing and really affecting to me.

Thanks to all donaters for now and ever you're really loveable people. And also thanks to Keith and the whole Subeta staff for standing that tall just for us little people.

I think it's sad how some people act I was on right when the giveaway began and I was only able to pick up one rare item, but I'm happy with what I got and even if I had missed the entire thing, them's the breaks. Sure I'd be a little disappointed, but my whole life shouldn't be made or broken by how many rare items I got on Subeta. I think some people need to get their priorities straight and be grateful for all the nice stuff Keith and the Subeta Team do for us all the time, especially this week, which has been awesome

I understand your position Keith but I do think it is a shame that you are allowing a few people to ruin the giveaways for all of the users. I think most users really do appreciate both the giveaways and all the work that you and the staff put in to the site. Hopefully you will change your mind about the giveaways in the future because they are always a lot of fun. Now I'm off to donate some items to the DC.

To be honest I'm sick of all this. Does anyone else notice that everyone is now "complaining" about the users who were "complaining" and made Keith decide to stop give aways. I'm mad at them to but seriously now we're doing the same thing, just about something else. Calling them spoiled brats and whatever insults is sinking to their level. Let's just end this maturely by not talking about anyone. Let's all just move on. This issue is over. I know a lot of people are going to be p.o.ed with me saying this but let's get real. Now "everyone" is complaining about something. I guess even this is a complaint. Ugh I'm gonna go doing something productive. walks away

SillyCinic, you took the words right out of my mouth. And thankyou for agreeing. (:

Like I said, they are not expressing opinions; they are attacking and complaining. Which are entirely different things. Oh wow. You didn't get an item that was worth, what, 1million max? Go to the wizard. Do some quests. Make it in a day. Please don't give Keith crap about your poor timing.

And for the ones who are saying that it's the fact that it was supposed to be 'for everyone'. Isn't enough that he's been constantly updating and keeping up with the site for over the past week - 'for everyone'? Releasing new items, hosting giveaways, releasing new pets, updating constantly, free gifts, free 250 CS credits, token shop releases every two days or so, and etc. Not to mention that heartfelt news post he directed towards us.

I believe that he is trying his hardest, and he's putting his all into Subeta. Your complaining and unappreciation is completely disrespectful. So in short, I agree with AphoticDivinity.

OH AND HAPPY [belated] BIRTHDAY, JEKYLLIN! XD

I can't say I blame you really. The people who whine and complain are truly spoiled brats. However, I think you're going about it the wrong way. Punishing your whole member-base because of something most of them didn't do seems a little rash.

The fact of the matter is there will always be someone who misses out and complains about it. There will always be a group of people who are so spoiled they feel it's their natural born right to have everything handed to them on a silver platter. There should be a way to punish those members. Personally, I vote for posting their names somewhere and letting us throw stones at them. Or, slightly less cruel, taking away their forum privileges for a month or two. But punishing everyone for someone else's indiscretions is essentially going to alienate them.

I love Subeta. I love the staff and really appreciate all the hard work they put into making the site enjoyable. Over the past week you've gone above and beyond expectations on trying to make the recent problems up to us. You may not hear it enough but we do appreciate you. Just look at the B&C forums. Everyday people are Celebrating Accomplishments they've made. True, they are proud of themselves for accomplishing a goal they've set. But I'm sure I'm not the only one that realizes that it's only because of the site and staff that even having goals to accomplish is possible. Sometimes you just have to look past the clouds to see the sunshine. I guess what I'm trying to say is ignore the babies that whine and complain. Concentrate on the users that are actually grateful for what you do.

the people who complained and acted so badly are really something. If you don't know the kind of person keith is by now, then you should really think about joining another site. He would have tried to make it as fair as possible, but we don't have a chance to see that now do we? Honestly ruining it for other people is just disgusting and you should be ashamed of your behavior.

I feel sad that I missed this, and that people were such doges as to cause you to stop such wonderful things. I mean, it's nice to get something for free no matter what it is, and it's a shame people can't just be glad you're being so generous. And why complain about value, when it should be about things you want. Get something you like and that you'll enjoy, whether it's a 50k item or a 15mill item. Just enjoy what you get.

Keith maybe there wouldnt have been so much complaining if you hadnt stated the giveaway was for all we have been through in the last few weeks. Alot of us have stood by you through this mess. If you would have had small giveaways throughout the day that would have given everyone a chance to try for something. You have alot of different time zones here. Thats all most of us wanted was at least a chance to try. Its not like we dont appreciate the giveaways, we do.
