And as many of you have the issue of me having the cca 20 000 SP boost a month (assuming 30-day month, 20 000 / 1 857 600 translates into less than 1.08% boost), let's add that accounts that are or ever were paid or ever bought a PLEX by credit card, paypal account, or bank account, that my account ever was are not eligible.

Satisfied?

No...not ever....never.....end of discussion.

This proposal was dead the moment you typed it up.

And we will continue to swat it down like the annoying fly it is.

Well Done! I could not have been more condescending myself.

Not sure what to think about this. On one hand, I think it would for sure increase the number of participants, 20k SP (or similar) amount is not exactly the end of the world, and the more people testing the better the test (as it is a stress test) goes. On the other hand, it might, though not *necessarily*, lower the quality of the reports.

Put a little more effort into your retort.

1000 Players showing up for free skillpoints and typing up 1 liners in their reports while missing a few dozen valid reports will likely **** off the dev's more so than help.

Time is money..and devs don't have tmie to "jibba jabba"

ooooh, using fancy words like "retort" *and* things like "!=" so those filthy plebeians will not comprehend your verbose meaning lest you take it upon yourself to enlighten them with your wisdom. How very droll. And the way you lambasted my retort by suggesting it was sub-par when it clearly elucidates both sides of the issue, simply brilliant!

Also, if people have to show up and submit a report, I doubt they will intentionally file wrong reports. So given that most of the reports will be about actual bugs experienced, that in and of itself is useful because you can see which bugs are the most prevalent.

Then again *all* of this is probably lost on you because "tmie" [sic] is money and you need to get back to swearing on the developers behalf...

awww isnt that cute...he learned how to use big words.

Get over yourself already.


Free SP's will be the wrong motivator....its obvious..hence why this idea won't fly....if you can't figure that out...no amount of fancy talk will help you.
