Eek Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just thought I'd make this thread as i thought it was a good idea so feedback is appreciated as some people may not agree. Anyway, i noticed that when you donate you're given a time in which you gain bonus exp e.g. 7 days donator you'd obviously receive 7 days donator status. What i thought would be better is if say you bought 7 days donator status you receive 7 days worth of playing time donator status rather than you're donator status expiring literally one week later. I know 7 days playing time is many hours but that was purely for example. I know it's not a massive improvement but i think it'd be fairer for everyone if they had the same length of time gaining bonus exp and the slight increase in shiny encounters. Tell me what you think below <3 blaxer94 1 Link to comment

DopestDope Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 168 hours for $5. Seems legit. Link to comment

Deejaye Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 The only way I can see this as being reasonable would be by reducing the time. For example, 24 playtime hours for $10 or something. Either way, I personally think giving the 7, 15, or 30 days is better then going by playtime. Link to comment
Kei Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Maybe if they actually responded to a suggestion thread lately this might be looked at XD EDIT: Olp Speak of the devil Link to comment

Heavenol Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I believe this has been suggested before, and got denied. Personally, I disagree with the idea, mostly because the devs would earn much less money, which could mean less content. Link to comment

Dougington Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 If this did happen the prices would obviously be raised. Your suggesting something which is very fragile and the current way is fine. NaitDawg and Heavenol 2 Link to comment
Deshar Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Donators are suppossed to donate to help the game, not to obtain any benefit, the benefit is just something the developers give you as a thanks for donating. You're actually not entitled to it at all. MrMasonMan 1 Link to comment

Here, its the admins way of saying thanks for the donation. Link to comment
