360 Day Veteran Reward - Aetheryte Ticket

[Galactimus]

Wait, so it's SE's fault you(Generally speaking) made an investment in something that didn't play in your favor? I didn't realize that it wasn't my responsibility in regards how I choose to spend my money... Out of curiousity, if you quit before six months, do you lose access or is it a personal choice?

SE doesn't make anymore or less [profit] when people put money into the game on a 30 day or 180 day [subscription]

You said "people who pay in 30 day chunks provide the same profit to SE as people who pay for 180 days." I told you how that statement is completely wrong. Who cares if the 180 day players made a bad choice or not. It has nothing to do with "fault" or "bad investments". They paid to get a 'Veteran Reward' early so they should be happy regardless. So I'm not sure why you are even bringing that up. It doesn't change the fact that people who subscribe for 180 days provide up to 6 times more profit then players who subscribe month to month. People who sub for 30 days and then quit provide six times less profit then someone who subs for 180. Whether that 180 day person quits the first month or not.

And thus, SE provides thee with "Veteran Incentives" (such as mounts) to encourage players to sign up for larger chunks of time. Players can choose to obtain these items early by purchasing larger subscriptions. The number of players that do this is huge and it makes SE profit. And I support SE's decision to do this; it's smart business because both sides win. 180 day players provide more profit than 30 days players (if the 30 day player doesn't stay for 6 months.) The more players that sign up for 6 months the more profit SE makes.

See? I'm not personally attacking SE's method; I support the method. I'm just happily pointing out that you are incorrect.
