Like if tier 5 has 6 different options, you only had to pick 4 of them before being able to choose from tier 6.

The only people throwing hissy-fits over the suggestions were the immature OP's that immediately started name calling and hurling insults because people were disagreeing with their idea.

I was one of those that had a problem with others being able to buy veteran badges. My main point was that I didn't want to get lost in the mix and not be honored for my loyalty to the game being a 7 year vet.
Thankfully the guys and gals at Paragon Studio handled that by giving out the yearly vet badges. Plus the Tier 9 and T9 VIP rewards so my complaint was null and void after that. 
Damn after rereading that I sound like an elitist snob....It's not intended honestly, I just want my loyalty to the game in all the ways I have shown it, to be awarded and they achieved that. So kudos dev/community management team!

total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Yes, because that's the price I charge for 25 cents. |

If it was just that, I wouldn't have posted this. I have had this sort of response before.

Clueless player who can't understand that the concept is to add a type of claw rather than change the entire set says "I like my claws just the way they are thank you very much." Long time player who is diplomatic says "What LTPWIB meant is that the devs have said that it would be hard to code because it wouldn't just mean adding in a claws type. It would require redesigning all player hands so that they had actual fingers rather than just being the mittens they are now." Me Too player says "Yeah, what LTPWID just said. It's because of the fingers. OP says "I don't know why anybody even bothers posting here. I come up with a suggestion and everybody jumps on me telling me it's stupid and will never happen. If you don't have something constructive to say about my idea just shut up. The devs are the ones who decide, not you!!! |
2. They let players keep everything they earned under the old system and gave them new stuff for free under the new system.
3. Maybe the players that supposedly "pounced" on you and "flamed" you are mature adults that don't feel the need to overreact and throw hissy-fits when the devs redesign the game.
