Perks for Spenders
Posted 2021-11-15 07:55:39 (edited) #561623 For those of us who spend money on this site, and really don't get much else out of it. There's no real draw to spend money on here unless you're in desperate need of gc. I'm not talking massive, game breaking rewards. This isn't a pay to win, and none of us want it to be either. But, what we do want, is a little bit of recognition for spending. Different tiers and perks available depending on how much you've spent on site. See the work in progress list below! If you also have any suggestions, drop them in the replies and we can debate on if they'd be good additions! * Name colours, which can be turned on/off once earned- possibly different colors for the different tiers of spending? * Badges for different tiers of spending which can be turned on/off. * Silly names for different tiers of spending which can be turned on/off. * Maybe icon frames, for around your lead/secondary wolf and/or profile image. * Headers and/or Footers to use in dens, apart from the CCS one may already be using. Images, not text. Can be turned on/off to player preference, and if possible will not be required to use both at the same time.	🌙Kay🌙 #10774

I would love different colored names for different tiers! Maybe something like gem colors? Emerald, ruby, diamond, etc etc? Definitely support!

I also support name colour changes, but would like them to be a set price at which people can choose their own. Also I like the frames idea, because more customisation is always nice. And the icons/silly names I think would be pretty fun and funny ^-^ I support this one, too.

All rewards would be earned at a certain level of money spent. Once you've hit that tier, the reward is permanently available even if you reach another one. So, if you hit all tiers, all the possible rewards are yours to toggle on and off as you please!

For example, with the name colors-
First tier could be a silver color, or something more simple along those lines.
Second could be emerald or citrine inspired, as Sinconsiderate mentioned above.
Third could be a red, or ruby color.
Fourth could be a topaz or blue sapphire hue.
Fifth tier could be the diamond tier.

Not sure how many tiers the devs would want to implement, but these are just some ideas!

No support if it is visible to other players. I think it's best if we don't have any visual indication of 'this person has spent money here and so is special'. I know that's not what you intend to be proposing, but I think that's what the subtext is/would seem to be from the perspective of the wider site.
I don't care if it's something only the buyer can see, that's fine.

Oppose.

The reason being what Katie said. I've been on sites that had perks like that and I just... I didn't like it. Feels like special treatment imo, which I'm not fond of for free sites like this.

I guess I could be okay with it if only the buyer could see it, like Katie mentioned.

Opposed similar to Katie.

Seems like it'll create an awkward separation between players in the social aspect of the game. Like there's a higher tier of player?
A lot of digital games already use this social aspect to add more pressure for free players to start paying, and I'd be a bit sad to see it here unnecessarily.

I love that it feels like a donation! <3 I feel good getting to give back to the game. I know its a lot of work to keep this stuff running smoothly.

When I couldn't pay real money, these games were a haven cos they don't pressure you to do any transactions, they're actually free and the transaction page is separated from the rest of the site. Now that I can pay if I want, it's fun because I feel good choosing to put in $. :3

No support in total. I believe the draw to spending GC is fine enough as it is. It's for cosmetic purposes (wolves), QOL improvements, and to sell to players for more SC gains. As someone on Lioden with the "spender star," I know what it's like to get an additional perk. And it always felt weird on both sides of it. Before I got my star, I felt like I hadn't given enough. Like my purchases on Lioden were somehow lesser because I hadn't met some arbitrary threshold for a star. After I got it, I was proud of it for maybe a day or two. Then it felt like unnecessary bragging.

I suppose I half-support anything that is only seen by the purchaser, but I'm still on the fence because it will still exist in the consciousness of the greater community. Discussion threads of "What level donation perk do you have?" will inevitably pop up and will make a non-visible perk visible, in essence.
