$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I think this is where I take my leave of I stripper. Just like Video Game company's the greed is only going to get worse and I'm just sad that day has come

If the situation was reversed and iStripper had until now been a subscription based product equivalent to the new iStripper Premium option and Totem decided to offer an alternative "basic" package this would be just as "greedy" or "money grabbing" (as some posters have said) as the actual introduction of the premium service. In both cases the new option would suit some and not others - and some would make exactly the same complaints as we have seen about the premium service offer.

I have a 4k HDR curved monitor , but running 3k cc+ model - ( excellent quality in 3D )

Anyone trying 4k model - 4k HDR curved monitor , what is the quality ?

There is no review ????? - how good it is , not on a 4k flatpanel -

Premium...

...Priority response from the customer service...

Treated as a second class citizen by customer services. If you haven't paid enough your problems won't be looked at...

Highlighted profile...

What happened to that "everyone must be respected and treated equally on the forums" spiel that was rolled out? Does this not identify people who have and have not invested money in advance? I find this deeply worrying...

@shodan084
Customers problems shall be looked at still by the team, even if you aren't Premium. But, as in a train or a plane with first class ticket, you have some privileges in addition because you pay for that.
Everyone remains respected and treated equally on the forum, the rules don't change. We have already some specific marks for the Wall of Fame of the month, and the ones who get these marks are treated equally.

... and if there are 1000 problems in the priority queue? This will mean that 'priority' is dealt with first and everyone else second. Priority should mean the most important problems first, not the amount you pay.

You don't put out the fires in the first class section before you address the rest of the plane! ;)

I appreciate this premium offer even if it cost me 59€ the year. The 20% promotion over 10 days is a good idea ( ***** forever ) and the 4K resolution is just perfect. That's not how i'll be able to stop istripper 😄.
I ***** your games of chance and i stop it 😠 ...Here, i know why i pay 👍.
Little Candy ...Many models are very beautiful ❤️💜💛💙💚💙💛💜❤️. Good job.
Thank you Totem 👌😉

How would you define important problems? Bug reports? those wouldn't have priority for an individual. Broken software? That is almost always on the client side unless it is a beta. There is a very little they can do if you have deleted registry files or have messed with .exe. You also have to remember that many pms come from America, during overnight hours in Paris...so they can easily be ordered by premium, then by time received, then processed the next morning.

The premium is 59$ a year with reduce prices (and other advantages). That I'm is just that we still have too buy an extra 49$ to credit account right after (or before). Can't pay a year suscription price of 500 credit plus extra 10$ without at least some credits in it (amount still to be determined) this just what i'm saying here...

I'll be debating on getting this Premium promotion until Thursday, even though i'm not a every card collector the first week of this offer does give us a Joker coupon.

That would give me a clear lane to have the Ginebra card, and after that i'm pretty much out i wouldn't have to play anymore gambling games for the foreseeable future, after looking at the upcoming girls (even ones i like) i don't see myself having to deal with the games.

@njarnb - For some of us the cost of going premium is MINUS 40 euro per year - we will actually pay less than what we currently pay. Furthermore, in order to continue to receive exactly the same product as they were getting last week NOBODY has to pay a single cent more than they used to. Why do you ***** about having an extra option.

How would you define important problems?

It could be anything... from ***** to poor purchase decisions... software errors to accidental deletions. Trying to get people to pay for preferential service is not the best way to fairly treat your customers. This on top of all that gambling, special cards media options to VR only and change of website... tends to suggest that the company is changing, and looking at the response in the forums (not the silent majority), I'd say not for the better.

I can't believe any business would offer a premium customer service option for extra cost. All customer service should be the same (and excellent) for everyone. I should say in the past that I always found the customer service to be excellent. Maybe now it will be downgraded for those not wanting to go "premium"? A really bad decision to tie any aspect of customer service to paying an additional cost.

@CrackCrazy - I see "superior customer service" offered very often by other businesses. For example "priority check-in" and "priority security lines" at airports, also priority response for servicing mechanical, electrical or software problems. I do not like or approve of these things, but they are very common.

A great many software companies charge extra for customer service. That's part of their pricing model. TANSTAFL (There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.) Some companies build customer service in as part of the purchase price. Some don't. Some companies even have alternative levels of support. If I never will need customer service, why should I pay for it? One piece of software I use, ERwin, charges about $780 per year and my client pays it because I need it. Microsoft once charged me $500 for a single support call. To this day, I resent that but I paid it.

Indeed - there are even some that only charge for "servicing" (called support) and provide their nominal product at zero cost.

...and there are some that mine data about our dirty little online habits and sell it to advertisers, including (!) politicians. At least we have no evidence that Totem does that! And, so long as they don't use me as "product" to boost their revenues, I don't care if they offer a whole range of optional extras.

Totem are the good guys. They tell us what they are selling and we have the option to buy or not.

@pantalone - You are correct, though I was thinking more of companies like Redhat, Debian, Suse and other Linux distributors plus others with different products but the same business model.

Does anyone Gamble at the Casino's

What LEVEL player Card do you Have..
You Know you PAID for that Card Right...
And each New Level Card Has Perks, including a Premium Member Line for most everything...
Premium Drink service, Premium Customer Service Line, Premium Dine Line...

Most Any Service Oriented Business these days, offer Some sort of Paid Premium service..

How about your Road Side assistance?
Top Level now Offers 15 minute or Less Premium road side assistance..
If you have the Basic, you will wait 1 to 2 hours...

I am a collector and have all the cards so far so I like the Premium Member ship.
I don't mind at all getting my cards for 11 credits. If I did not like it I would not buy
it and for sure not ***** about it.
I'm sure almost everybody has a credit card, if you have bad credit you get a low
limit and a high rate, if you have good credit you get a high limit with a low rate.
That is what business is all about.

The "premium customer service" does not indicate you are getting any extra or new services. Only that you will receive a "priority response". Hard to quantify what that is, as it is not defined in the promo. All customers should get a timely response to a service problem. Indicating anything different is foolish.

Extra 20% off if you buy in the first 10 days of new casd release.

Well I am not a collector, nor do I have all of the cards. All of that is irrelevant since Totem has introduced their version of premium membership. At the moment it seems to be a good thing, but later I can see a lot of evil emanating from this thing. Whatever, what’s done is done and everyone will have to deal with any consequences arising.

Premium memberships, like everything that Totem does, has the approval of the silent majority in addition to that of Totem’s minions, the Apologist and the trained seals

At least we still have the option to not buy into it if we choose not to, unlike some of the other things that have been imposed upon the users

Why do you judge people that don't agree with you.

... and the trained seals

Sorry @Chicky

As one of the trained seals😊 I currently buy every card as they come out so it seemed a no brainer for me.

Also I wanted the Sky Blue SEC card so the Joker didn't last long.

Why do you judge people that don't agree with you.

Why not?

It probably helps ***** some of lonely, boring hours when she's on the road.😟

Especially when they bite!!😊

Ah! a seal....

You've not met my brother then?😊

Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!
