Completely outraged!!!!!!!!!!

[undertheradar]

Hey guys,

Yes, for people who had spent $500 or over with us, we offered to buff up one of their characters to level 65 so they could jump right into Humania. Since it is a manual process, it's not something we were going to do for everyone. Thanks in advance for your understanding. (quote from samhayne less than 5 minutes ago)


This is complete bull****. (yeah, I cursed). I've kept denying that STS favors their paying customers more (more like repressing it), but now I can't do it anymore. I spent hours getting to 65, and just because someone paid more than me, you'll jump them straight to humania????? STS, I'm disgusted. But most of all, I'm disappointed. And samhayne, you don't need to thank us for understanding, BECAUSE WE DON'T.

[Glad]

Sucks for you?

[Phoenixking]

How does this effect you... Or does it have to do with your pride of working hard for stuff? I'm pretty sure that someone who put $500 dollars into a game must also work hard in real life I'm not saying you don't. And of course someone who pays tha much money should atleast have some kind of boost or something

[Fao]

Umm, I understand completely! They are THANKING those who spent TONS of money on their game! Ok, lets take this from a different point of view!

You own a game, it also has this different money so people can buy with real money! Some people spent LOADS of money, and you think, 'Hey, these people are awesome, we need to thank them in some way! How about giving them something awesome?'

Understand why they did this now?

Undertheradar, I'm sorry you feel jilted by this. Hopefully my comments and the other people replying to the thread can help you understand our position. It doesn't mean you have to agree with it, but maybe just understand

We know all to well that things hadn't changed in Pocket Legends for a number of months and wanted to provide strong incentive for players to come back and play. Yes, someone who had purchased that much Platinum likely already had a 66, but not always - maybe they were an active player during the Sewers or Nuris level cap. What better way to jump into the action with the new content than to have a character at that level?

We know that not everyone will agree with this action, but hopefully you can understand our desire to give cool reward to those who support us the most. We really appreciate everyone who plays Pocket Legends. This is similar to our motivation for creation of the Angelic Loyalty Gear for those who had spent $50 or more or had otherwise obtained a lvl 66 character.

I'm reminded of a recent cartoon I saw. Check this out:

I "understand". But let's think about this from my perspective. I worked hours to level my chars up, and now all the sudden, just because someone spent more money than me, they automatically become level 65. I just don't see it as fair. Where's my boost for being a loyal player, or being a founder?

well to bad that's all I have to say...I have money and no time (sorry but it's the truth), games don't run on air and water. Support games and get rewarded... don't spend and you can spend endless hours. So my tip, stay in school and maybe you will see that earning money comes by dedication and how hard you push yourself outside of the game.

I have done my schooling 2x over, so please don't tell me that's not fair. It's not fair for everyone, just manage the cards you have been dealt with.

Your boost for being a founder was the founder's helm.

[LADYHADASSA]

Yes indeed and founders helms give additional boost in pvp in low lvls... In basic no one can be happy all the time, and btw... Chances are if somone spent over 500$ they have multiple charecters.. And all those charecters have already done the grind.... A few times......

Very true.

I worked hours to level my chars up...

I do not see it that way. Work is when you do something you do not want to do because you have to. I work. I get up at 5:30 a.m. every day, do my yoga, eat my breakfast, catch a 6:45 bus, and then I PLAY for an hour as the buses take me to work. When I get to work, I can not play. Other people are playing, but I have to work. I leave the chat window open so I can have my head in the world of play but the truth is, my toons are not advancing and I am not playing, only fooling myself. Then I get to go home and I PLAY again. It is fun. I do not have to do it. I get home 12 hours after I got up and all my toons have to show for it is a few runs. I play all three games. I have tried to cut back to only PL, but I like the other games too much. So I seethe in jealousy of all those kids who get to play all day.

So I have to do something to catch up, like use a leveling elixir, which I hate.

All I can say about you post is that you have a very unrealistic view of the world. It's not filled with bleeding hearts like me. It is run by jerks. But in this world (which is beautiful) polluted by these nasty people, sometimes you find good people. When that happens you hold them close. That is ALL you get, good friends and dear ones. THAT is what you should cherish!

Getting a toon to 65 is not work. It is play. I am saddened at how great a disappointment this life will be for you. I think maybe m generation failed you, letting you believe everything is all sweetness and light. It's not! You have to work hard just to get by.

In my opinion, STS gives us a game that poor people can play for free and working people can support with real cash. The two groups together make the population. I would hope that those who are too poor to buy plat would be thankful to the ones who do because we keep the game going for them! So I think it is incredibly ungrateful of you towards the plat buyers that you would begrudge them such a little thing.

For what it's worth, my total plat purchased is not enough to request a boost. I had two toons already to 65 but I had to use elixirs. I have a third at 62 and whether you approve or not, I would accept three levels of boost.

But my real point is, you did not WORK to get your toons to 65. You played! And if you didn't enjoy it, nobody said you had to, so why did you? I do work, every day, and I pay for kid's weddings and their education and man do I dislike ingratitude, but you know, ingratitude is something I have to accept just like you have to accept that other people pay for your game, and they deserve to be thanked.

Undertheradar, did you read my post from a different point? You would reward people who spent LOADS of money on your game if you had one, right? I don't see you complaining about the Angel gear? And if you were one of these people that got this you wouldn't be complaining?

I wouldn't accept it, actually. I would make this same thread, most likely.

So for those who've spent over a thousand dollars, do they get auto-levelled to 71 and automatically obtain the vomitnut?

Most likely no, or Sam would have included that in his post, and vomitnut?

It's the Volconut, get it right

[Mothwing]

I like vomitnut better.

This reminds me of a saying:

"Time is money"

You said that you spent hours of gameplay leveling your character to 65. Now the people that essentially "bought" time, are being rewarded with a boost on leveling. I think it's completely fair. If you spend money on something, you deserve to get rewarded, no?

Time is money.
That's the motto behind all my ventures to get to the elite cap with 1.5s bought with PL gold.
I don't waste real life money for Plat to get there fast, thus I am wasting my time and rather saving my money!

Mostly because I have better stuff to do with Plat than to spam Thrashers...like getting that O.C.D.

[FluffNStuff]

If you spent between 465 and 499 US dollars on the Game, then you might have a case for outrage, and I suggest you flip out. I am guessing though, that you did not.
