[Suggestion] 300P & user level

While I'm advocating for reducing the rate at which points are replenished, I'm firmly agains it to be tied to the level.

It's not currently time-based, it's based on value of giveaways. On a slow day with few giveaways, you might only get 400 points. On the day a new bundle of high point games hits, you might gain over 1000.

Doing the math to include user level would just slow down the point calculation by adding another database lookup on every user, which is bad when the point generation is already something that slows down the site every 15 minutes when it happens.

Point replenish based on the "value" of GAs created, it is not time based. Except that the server only checks every 15 minutes how many points to add to each user's balance.

I am against your proposal, because it only will create more drama:

• users who really can only spend a very limited amount of money, will take long to reach level 4+,
• users will complain about certain regions being much cheaper than ROW, so users from there may level faster, so would have more points,
• server load. Right now the server just adds the same amount of points to all users. With your proposal, the server would have to check for each users level first.

No, points should be equal for all users.
If you don't want people taking and not giving, set level requirements for your giveaways.

if we based suggestions on our behavior, i would need to suggest a point regeneration of 10 or less per day.

points are fine, no need to tweak them to the end of times.

sorry for the blunt reply, but this has been suggested many times before

High level users tend to use less points anyway, why gives us more?

The only advantage we get from level is leveled giveaways. Nothing more.

I once suggested that rule breakers should receive reduced replenishment rates (before they get permanently suspended). That's all I'd change about it, otherwise the current settings are pretty much perfect.

Not a good idea for all and more reasons that have already been said by other members.

However, I think it would be good to tie point generation to parameters like activated all wins and sent all gifts.

Maybe points generation is bit too high, esp after taking into consideration all these IG HH bundles where you get GAs for 4x100 points for $4-5, so people spam them and you can easily gain 300 points in 30 - 45 min?

But basing points generation speed on user level is a bad idea. That'd just create less friendly environment, just as Oppenh4imer said.

I still think there's too many points around to spend,

Most days I agree with you, others I'm too busy micromanaging dem damn points.

I definitely don't think you should get points based on level, but I do think we get too many points which encourages people to enter for games they don't want just because they can.

My previous comment on the subject is linked here

There's absolutely no reason to change the way points are given to everyone.. we're all on even terms for that and why shouldn't we be. Higher level users already have access to higher level giveaways, why should they have more points to spend too. Also you should already have understood that time has nothing to do with the points being replenished.
