Making changes to how Karma works - we want your feedback.

So what you're saying is that K dots are now so precious you don't want to spend them -- and you still don't understand why we did this? Your K account now has some value.

Man, it's like saying "I'm not going to buy food, because it costs too much." Yeah, so? That's what money is for.

You guys crack me up. Or maybe you guys are on crack? Something crack-related going on here.

And more professionalism.

ELITE IS STILL A GREAT SITE! One of the most enjoyable features was removed. It was a feature that a lot of us solely paid for.

That is my feeling about it in a nutshell. It was just fun.

I didn't say "your karma has value" because I expect you to pay for it; I said it because we're no longer pushing around wheelbarrows full of worthless paper. We can start treating people like grownups. We can let people hit who they want, when they want, and not spend all day looking for K threads.

YOU will determine what your karma is really worth to you, in terms of what it will take to get you to part with a green hit instead of pumping it out to people for no damn reason.

You say "everybody gave me green"? SO WHAT? It was meaningless. Somebody hitting you and saying "Hit me back" just because you have a pulse. That's the only thing that's changed. Yeah, it's going to be harder to convince people to give up the green stuff, but when they do it's going to mean something.

nope, its not gonna mean anything cause I got few hits just to "unload" the K they got. That goes for the people with very little K to work with

Since HumanTarget said no COTB has stood up for the plats then let me begin. I just got through saying that some of the K complaining was getting annoying but the pragmatic side of this cannot be ignored. The thing that's got me wondering is that are you trying to convince US of that or are you trying to convince YOURSELF of that? When you yourself are known for not K hitting people, changing the K system in this manner was predictable. Infact I would have bet on it in the bookie forum....

If you were trying to create a system where K would not increase at such an astonishing or exponential rate then you have accomplished that. If you have made something that is so controversial that people are going to stop sponsoring you , then this is something all together different. Does people hitting eachother in a MEANINGLESS way such an issue that folks are willing to lose much of thier sponsorship over it???

Somehow I don't think so....

I don't understand why K was such a large feature to the point that it was the main reason folks kept had a plat membership and that spending $$$$ for K is seen as taboo. From a business perspective, yes making money is the number one issue. If this becomes so obvious that youj actually LOSE money then I would consider it a big problem. But since we now see that this is the case then I guess I'd be interested in how this are going to be changed. Yes , changed!
because Elite doesn't make money on non plats...

gjohnson, I doubt hardly that it is gonna get changed back as it was. They could at least make it that we lose 10% of our hit when we give green K instead of the whole amount of it.

People did stay here and kept on paying plat cause teh karma game was fun. Now that that is taken away from us, there is no point in paying for our membership, cause all info I need to get from this site I can get it as non-plat too. I wont pay to buy karma for the simple fact that when I hit someone else, I lose it.

We get new Plat members everyday, and if someone doesn't wanna renew his/hers Plat because we put an end to K whoring then so what?

I didn't necessarily mean changed back to the way it was but atleast changed in a more acceptable way to the plats. The folks renewing thier membership is a good source of money. All they do is K hit eachother and type BS on a computer... Hell I need to come up with a money making scheme like that too

But scale it down instead of imposing a penalties
