Stars: Buy the FPP bonuses before it's too late?

Dire · #1 10-13-2007, 03:42 AM

The Stars FPP bonuses are being 'reviewed' on December 31st. Do you think they'll be replaced? By something better/worse? I prefer cash over items which makes the bonuses attractive, but it sure would suck to blow all my fpp and see them create an even better bonus or more valuable offer after they're reviewed. I can't decide what to do.

I bet they stick around another year

This is like the 3rd time they've "reviewed" them I think. They have remained unchanged with every review and I would suspect there would be a huge uprising if they just yanked them away. And it seems pretty gosh-darned unlikely that they are going to make them drastically better or anything like that.

In short, I'm not worried about and don't think you should be either. Although I also acknowledge that anything can happen and we don't really know for sure until they announce whatever decision. But if they somehow do decide to change it around somewhat I don't think it would be the end of the world.

Speaking about this, I remember somebody mentioning something similar about the concierge service. That it might be removed as people are taking advantage of it or what?!
Anyone has an official response concerning this?

This was in the "wild speculation" thread and is probably just that.

RE: Concierge Service

That was me.

Fact: I contacted Stars because I had some questions and was told they couldn't answer them since they were going to review the program in October.

The abuse part was then just wild speculation on my part. I think that people abuse it is obvious from some 2P2 posts. Not sure if Stars will care enough to do anything about it.

Full Tilt would have A LOT of new players if the bonuses disappeared. After all, what would we do with all of our FPP?

Here was Scottyy's response from a previous thread:

------------Was the concern that there would be too much participation in the bonuses, thus detracting from the rest of the fpp store?

Yes, if every single VIPs FPPs were spent on the bonuses, this would be a problem.
