Velious beta announced

[drktmplr12]

Just looks like a raffle to me.

How does donating to Pantheon benefit the staff? It doesn't. They aren't collecting any benefit from this. Only headache from whiny ungrateful brats. And it really is a nice gesture for the Pantheon team.

This is like a small church getting reamed because they are selling raffle tickets for a breast cancer awareness shirt and a basket of shitty soap, even though 100% of the proceeds go to a worthwhile charity. Then the atheists are across the street protesting because the mayor is there sanctioning the event.

Here is a paper bag.

This seems more like a small church surprising and confusing many of its members by defying its years-old policy against raffles when it starts selling raffle tickets for breast cancer awareness when the prizes are pew seats that normally are reserved for long-time dedicated members of the congregation, a trip to a high-profile plastic surgeon, and a motherfucking Ferrari.

After all:

1. people aren't reaming the staff, they are just baffled by

2. the staff doing this after they've always had a policy against mingling real money with ingame benefits, regardless of whether platlord or rogean or whatever restaurant that sells bloomin onions is involved, and

3. guises and fungus staves are not the p99 equivalent of pink t-shirts and soap-laden goodie baskets.


Go on all you want though. I'm not mad. Surprised, confused, disappointed, yes. Mad? No. I even logged in this morning and made 15k in 10 minutes in HS south! So pretty much business as usual.

You're right, maybe i didn't think my post through. Perhaps I undervalued the rewards. I was thinking more about people complaining about xp pots = pay 2 win.

I can understand why you feel the way you do. What they are doing is unprecedented after all, but I think is still pretty far from donation benefits on THF (http://www.thehiddenforest.org/viewt...hp?f=14&t=1993). There should absolutely be 0 ways to turn any rewards into platinum, and I think that has been addressed by making all rewards no drop.

I can't say I agree with offering early access to the expansion. I really would hate to see velious items auctioned 6 days before release.
