Lets Talk Credits

HAHA, That was a good post. There are about, $473824792343742372479423727389497947823842 out i the world, all togheter. And there were, 1,800,000 Internet Forum Credits? Come on.

 

And the world has problems caused by money as does Gamerenders.... differance is it's not legal to do in real life to solve problems.

 

Except, this isn't real money. It's fake, imaginary, etc.

And yes, I know people actually pay real cash for credits....and personally I think that's utterly stupid and a waste of money.

And no, I'm not a fan of taking off a percentage of everyone's credits. But people seem to think it's real world money...when it isn't. But I've already suggested a few other ways to get creds out of the system.

 

Doir what I mean is, people can basically -rep a post and if a post gets X ammount of -reps then they are awarded 5 creds,

lets say something like 20 - 5, 50 - 10, 100 - 20 or somehting like that and thats the only way to gain credits.

So if you make a good tutorial you'll get a bunch of -reps on the post and then you'll gain some creds ;P

Or if someone like something posted in "your stuff' they can "-rep" that post.

 

They could reduce all money by a denominator by introducing a new currency (real world here), such as euros in europe, the currency amount changed there significantly for some countrys yet it still brought them the same things...

who cares it isnt real money, its like a sort internet money, just like in rl we work for money.. so you are saying all the money you worked for just take it away :huh:

 

it's not getting taken away it6's getting compacted.

 

I can see it on the screen, it isnt fake, it isnt imaginary.

How exactly is it a waste of money when lets just say you pay 10 bucks for 2000 credits and turn around and buy a steam account with Half life 2 and CS Source which at the store would have been 50 bucks?

Lets just say they didnt buy a steam account and they just bought tutorials and psds. They were paying to learn, is that an alien concept?

 

That wouldnt hold in the long run. Remember, ppl can just go make new accounts, new accounts, new accounts, new accounts, new accounts, new accounts...[+] Rep, [+] Rep, [+] Rep, [+] Rep, [+] Rep, [+] Rep, .... And keep in going till they got the amount they wanted.

 

Keep the creds, some people have worked hard for them and sell them later, If you do this I guarantee that some ppl will leave.

 

do swats lottery idea, where 50 creds for a ticket and 50% of the creds go to winner and 50% are deleted off the forum, charge people to enter SOTW and Charge people to make a shop. Also Change it for a while so its 1 cred every 2 posts, only for a certain time though

 

I dont think we should do anything at all. Its a forum for christ sake. If we keep this up, ppl wont sell creds for money, and ppl wont be able to make a living of it, and ppl wont argue about this and that, and.. Well. I can go on and on.

 

something needs to be done because existing members have 1000's of creds and new people have nothing and cant get into the buisness of making creds cause they always get out bidded

 

lol everyone still agrueing about this :S

like i said dnt touch the credits just add prices to auction room etc

 

Thats why they have to post to become active, and they know they have joined the dark side cuz we got cookies with raisins for them.
