I want store coins for some costume parts. It would be great if I could pre-pay for next month VIP and get next month's coins now. I would gladly prepay for some months to get a bunch of coins early.

Initially, the plan was to have those who use a multi-month subscription get all of their reward tokens on the front end, as soon as they paid for their subscription. Due to some sort of internal issue with it, they haven't been able to do that, yet, but it is still the ultimate goal, AFAIK.

In the mean time, if you purchase Paragon Points (same cost as a month subscription), you get an appropriate number of reward tokens immediately. What you could do is pre-purchase a block of those to sit on for stuff you may want.

He is talking about pre-paying for a month and getting his Paragon Points early. And that was never going to happen. And I seriously doubt it ever will.

Additionally, purchasing points is a SIGNIFICANTLY better rate than just waiting for your VIP stipend to come in each month.

The best subscription deal a players can currently get is paying for a year in advance which gets them a discount of roughly $10 bucks a month. So using the OP's suggestion they would get 4,800 points for $120 dollars.

Now if they are buying the time just to get points up front they would be grossly screwing themselves over because $120 spent on plain points in the market gets them 11,320 points.

Yes, rereading I can see that. For some reason, I was thinking of the VIP tier 9 costume parts (reward tokens).

Everyone here is absolutely correct. Don't prepay for months to get the points to spend in the store, just buy the points you want. You will also get extra paragon reward tokens (for the rewards program) at same time.
