PiemasterB Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Those with Donator Status should receive a percentage bonus to payouts at the Celadon Game corner. This would encourage further donations to reduce the time spent at the slots for TMs, pokes etc. *n.b. Did not post this is Game Corner thread as that seemed for solely game suggestions.* Diogoalves, majorharper, Tyrone and 2 others 5 Link to comment
AstroSpud Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I don't think they would do this, as it could be a copyright issue with them (sort of) selling the legal property of Nintendo, which is what they're trying avoid. Link to comment
Kyu Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Will consider it. We're currently looking to rework the game corner's slots, so this may be able to fit into the plans. I don't think they would do this, as it could be a copyright issue with them (sort of) selling the legal property of Nintendo, which is what they're trying avoid. We would be selling RNG rates on the server, the same as Shiny rates & EXP rates. salvadorzxc, ZephireZ and Buu 3 Link to comment
Munya Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'd probably be a bit sour about it but i guess I am fine with it, as long as it is something similar to the shiny increase and like, only a 10% bonus or something. Link to comment
RobPokeGod Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I actually like this idea, im not a heavy donator, i donate every month or so for 15 days just to show my love for them game. I support this idea Link to comment
Anjovies Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 if its just a teeny tiny reasonable bonus then wynaut. else, -1. Link to comment
Govictory Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 what is the point of a bonus in a luck based game? Link to comment

Seems a little low, don't you think? That would be +1 coin for every 10. I could see it being +50% (rolling 8 becomes 12, 16 becomes 24, ect), but I could also see that being too much of an increase for 777. Maybe +25% on 777 to get 750 coins. I'm just throwing ideas out there. Breeder 1 Link to comment
Tyrone Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Don't see any cons to this idea, as long as its a reasonable bonus (just noticable but not overdone). Easy to implement, probably an increase to the amount of donations as well resulting in an overall better game. +1 Link to comment

I'm just throwing ideas out there. 10% is fine. "Donator status" still has to be able to hide behind the excuse that it's a donation, and not just pokemmo trying to make money off the bonuses. Look, the shiny bonus is practically useless. Everything available is just a little thank-you to the donators and shouldn't advantage them that much. At 50% bonus, I think anyone will either get a donator status or complain a lot about it being unfair. Link to comment

My faith in this game is coming back more and more. Maybe I'll finally stop getting death threats from angry players. Darkshade and Elfull 2 Link to comment
ShinyChansey Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My faith in this game is coming back more and more. Maybe I'll finally stop getting death threats from angry players. I'm doubting it. This is the internet, after all, and people don't make sense. The threats may reduce in quantity though. :D Link to comment
ACRaven Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm doubting it. This is the internet, after all, and people don't make sense. The threats may reduce in quantity though. :D Maybe quality, but I dunno about quantity :P But on the main topic, I don't think that a 10-20% boost will make donations bad to the point of it being a "pay-2-win" situation. 10-20% would only be an extra 60-120 coins on the 777 jackpot, so it's not that big of a bonus (but it is large enough to help reduce the time in the Game Corner). Something like 50% is way too much, and would start to head toward a "pay-2-win" game experience. I am for this, so long as it is within reason. Link to comment
