Double Xp For Vip And Why I Think It Is Unfair

A quick note, but chances are a lot of VIPs are going to end up flaming this, hating on this, or just downright bad mouthing me, but here's a news flash... I don't care.

The Golden Sheep

So, you all probably already know about the golden sheep idea, and how majority of the non-paying community supports this. You may also know that many VIPs do not support this idea, rather, they favor the old, get VIP and get double xp for everything. The thing is, VIPs, that with the golden sheep, you will get your double xp bonus (or some kind of xp bonus), it just will be following you around in the form of a glorious golden sheep. And for those of you who complain that, 'its selfish for non-paying players to want a free form of xp bonus so I'm going to get all my kills stolen from hoards of peasants who don't have parents who spoil them', the golden sheep bonus isn't global, and you will, most of time be grinding alone, and the chances of a scrubby, freeloading, selfish, non-VIP comes into your grind spot, horrendously looking for a way to try to reach his/her goal of getting to the next level more easily, is quite slim. And if one does happen to come along, then there is always /lobby.

VIP exclusive XP bonus

Many VIPs are all for this proposition made by the cow god himself, however, it is completely, and totally unfair to non-payers that spend countless hours, nay, WEEKS, grinding to try to get to that oh so sweet goal of level 75, ('soon' to be 100).

However, when I posted this on the Double Xp for Vip Feedback page, Enderman1234 oh so politely pointed out that, "Oh no we get to level faster in a pve game what will you ever do?!" Shut up dude, we donated and this the double xp won't even fucking effect you at all, us leveling faster won't hinder your leveling speed".

The thing is that its unfair that players who put just as much, or more time into the game, will have to play double the amount of time to experience the same content as players whose parents spoil them (or the rare 0.1% that actually buy it for themselves).

Attacking Pets

Personally, I don't really see anything wrong with pets that actually do something with their lives. The only thing I have to say is that it would be kinda unfair in duels. :P


So, in conclusion, I'd just like to say that this is my opinion on the matters of VIP privileges and you guys are entitled to posting your opinions in response.

 

Actually, I have more problems with the attacking pets than the double xp.
Also, this could have been posted on the original thread.

 

You see it as 'They need to put double the time', but actually, it's just the normal time, the VIPs get a benefit for having supported the server, and this benefit is just straight up neccesary to make VIP attractive. And before you say the admins just do this for the money, the reason they do this is because the server would otherwise die.

Non-Vips would take advantage of VIPs, which somewhat bothers me. It would make the community a little more toxic.

Vips need a Benefit. But it shouldn't be P2W, and with the Sheep, Non-Vips can also level quicker, if they grind with friends. This makes friends grind together more(Vips and non-vips), but non-Vips will also swarm Vips for the extra XP, and I could understand how Vips don't like this.

 

This thread is a diversion of focus from Salted's original thread, and I believe that it is unnecessary. I agree with @YunoFuckingGasai on this point.
Can a mod please close this thread, if one agrees with me, and if not, I'll just fade away back to the original thread? @Solaire

 

Pets shouldn't attack. Just.. no.
Afk-grinding would be everywhere. It would be P2W to the extreme. Pets should give a bonus to an area, just like the sheep. Or they should pick up items for their owner, but they should NOT attack.
I'm on 2 minds about the VIP thing, but I'm certain about the Pets. They. Shouldn't. Attack.

Actually, I think it's fine there's a thread to discuss it, since the original post also has unrelated stuff and can be quite spammy.

This thread isn't meant to be a diversion from the original (though I might have accidentally made it so). Its just my opinion on the matter.

 

I understand that, however, as it does pertain to the topic of VIP/VIP+ perks, and it directly addresses something that was said to you in Salted's thread, I believe it would be best if it were kept there. That's just my opinion, for whatever it is worth, and I might be told to fade away and be quiet. Please understand, I'm not addressing what you said, I just wish that you had kept it in the original thread, where everyone would see it.

 

Life is unfair.

 

first of all, you are saying non vips have to grind weeks and weeks to get to a high lvl, but it's the same atm so your argument is wrong. the update will just make it a bit easyer for vips to grind. also keep in mind that you don't get bonus xp from quest. when gavel comes out there will probebly enough quests to get to lvl 75 without even having to grind weeks and weeks. also it looks like you are even more selfish then "all the vips" you stated. you just want to benefit more from the vip update then the donators themself!

 

You know, I had this same discussion before.
Guess what?
The math checks out; even with a single person grinding with you, you end up losing half your XP as a vip with a 2x sheep, while the non-vip gets the same amount of XP they would get grinding alone, but with half the mobs required.

Regardless, I'm going to close the thread. You know why?

People should be rewarded if they support the server. I don't see how that isn't fair.
