I've written to support but want to get community awareness.

With the recent increase in cost to no less than 1.6 credits you have all lost 60% of the value of any credits you had in your bank at the time of this so-called upgrade. Meaning you need to spend 60% more per model. Sorry but to me this is flat out wrong.

Retrocredit existing balances *1.6 to keep all things even value wise from before and after. If people then decide to move forward with the new system it's at the new rate and that's their choice. Should not penalize current customers.

Instead of this messed up fractional credit system, adjust the purchase price of credits. It's too bad nobody here has an IQ greater than my dog. Discount the credit purchases then for your elevated customers. See how that works? Same net effect without leaving people with screwy partial credits that can't be used. Common measure to rob people of their value invest. Uncool.

Any crap about costing more to buy new tech or higher resolution feels like bullshit to me - I'm still seeing mostly 720, occasional 1080 and RARE 3k.

The messed up new client has some up sides but we just all paid for it in a huge way - I'm not a fan.

Dual monitor support appears to be hosed (I think I've seen this posted elsewhere).

The little trick with "Get it Now!" triggering a "the new price is 2 credits Y/N" probably got a few people like it did me.

Speak with your wallets, forums and support - bottom line they've reduced the value of your bank balance and that is completely *****.

Do the math over however many customers they have and it is outrageous.

Also a side note ---- these exponential requirements for additional discounts is insane. 1500 credits to get 45% off?! No bump at 500 credits?

I for one want my lost balance fixed and as is have no intent to continue patronage.

"It's too bad nobody here has an IQ greater than my dog."

First, make your point without *****.

Second. There is indeed an increase in the prices, but since the increase is different according to your level, not everybody pays 1.60. Triple diamond pays 1.10 per card and there's a discount for purchasing the new cards within 7 days from their release.

Decimals then are just another way to reflect the increase that is a lot more practical than making the buy page a mess to understand with different prices for everybody.

Also, there was a big period of time between the past carousel discount system and this. So members had the chance to use their existing credits before the rise on the prices. Credits didn't devaluate, prices went up, the value of the cards is what it is now.

Here's the thing......

Standard pricing for all cards has always been 2 credits per card. The carousel pricing of 1 credit was not standard pricing, it was a discounted price. Discontinuing the discounted pricing through the carousel did not raise the standard pricing.

***** about your price now being 1.6 credits, instead of the standard 2 credits, makes no sense whatsoever.

Another troll ***** about pennies .. poor mods got to speak with him and try to reason him .. OMG:)

Huzbub I have a suggestion for you to make all this situalion settled.

You go to strip club, order a drink then start *****, because simple beer is gonna cost you 10 times more than it cost at store. Then say that all ppl there are stupid and has an IQ of a dog. Then you can even start shouting at a secirity. Lets see what happens:)

What you do here is basically the same thing. Those ***** result to the nervous situation and some new users may read this and think that situation is really like you said. So you basically sabotage all hard work of the Team and fun and positive attitude of most members. Please try to have fun.


P.S. Have i told you to try all this "crap" stuff in a stripclub?

P.S.P.S. I am curious how high is IQ of your dog?

Your Dog has a 197 IQ???? (mine verified by Mensa)
WOW that's one smart bow wow.

Its only an increase if you are buying from demo.

I ask you is anyone here that bothered by this small price increase???

(If you would prefer I can put this in Latin)

There's always one, here is an Idea, if you are not happy why don't you just write to customer services and ask for a refund of your credits, I'm sure they will oblige, Totem are good like that, then you wont have lost anything and the rest of us can get on with enjoying the product and the forum without having to read how much you threw your teddy out the pram or read how insulting you are towards the rest of the users every time we visit the forum ;)

@Notdead: Mine isn't quite as high as yours. IQ. I mean :) I'm only in the top 2%! (153) Does that make his dog smarter than me? I would love to meet this dog! :)

Please put that in Latin! I need a refresher course :)

Edit2: I just re-read the OP's post and my politically incorrect answer is: Go forth and multiply, my friend! ;)

"

Sure , but how many users here bought cards using standard pricing before ? ( i doubt many )

So the idea of making users use it and get discounts only if they have more cards to start with is not very friendly to new users who come along is it ? ( esp as it will cost them double the $$$ to reach the same amount as prre-existing users )

I certainly dont care about 3k cards or crappy gimmicks , so to me this whole software upgrade for cards I never asked ( i have an old netbook ) is just bad period.
