Donations Concern

I know I haven't been here long, and by all means I'm not trying to down anything at all but I don't understand how you have this setup.

I know Donating is a big part of playing a game, Site built or game built, and getting donations is also a big help. I have money so I could do this when i want but when i'm playing games I look at what I can get for my hard earned money.

My question/concern is this. Why is it that people have to Send money to the site AND spend their gold on the site to get an item. I think if you have a pure Donation page for cash only items you might get more money. I have not sent in money yet just because i have to spend twice just to get a good item.? Not sure how this is worth my money if you get what i'm saying.

By us sending money in we should have some type of status that says we care enough about this site to send in our money to help you out and should be rewarded for it, not have to pay twice for something we should be able to get with one payment and it's our real money that makes it worth more.

I think you should get a pure donation page to allow a one time buy fee. Thats it, not have to pay 2000 zenits plus $20 dollars to get something. Have items on this Item page on the Donation page to where if I want a planet and don't have 6000 zeni but have 10-15 dollars I can get it. Because when it comes to sending in real money now the game level has changed because you are making money from us.

Just my thought on it.

Donation doesnt work as credit. Once you donate $10, $20 or $30 however much you chose, it does not go away. It simply gives you access to those items that are catered to people who have helped support the site.

Donating money also doesnt insure you any items other then those on the donation items page.

The money you donate to the site goes to server costs, contests, and other things.

Yea I understand how the pay works just don't see how lets say if you Donate $20 and want a item you then have to pay X amount of Zeni for an item Also. When I think just Donating $x amount for X Item should be sufficent in my opinion, But i seem to be the only one complaining about it haha so everyone else must be fine with it lol :P

Donating earns you stats and zeni per dollar sent in (up to $40). After that, donations will "unlock" the donation items for you to purchase. You still have to purchase them though, you don't just get a whole slew of items for free. That wouldn't be fair. Remember, not everybody wants to donate and not everybody that wants to has the ability. We don't want to make it so only donators can be the best. It is just supposed to be something as a little extra to make your helping the site worthwhile to you as a player.

.

But your not getting them for free you using actualy money to purchase them which should be held as a higher based standard when buying something.

I understand what you guys are saying, guess I just wanted to mainly hear ideas as to rectify my point on how I was looking at it lol If i can say that in a fashion haha.

Thanks guys for your thoughts
