I meant as in people in higher castes could look down to normal users. It should be reputation and meritocracy based, not pay2win status.
On most other tech community, Yakumo would be an asshole with an ego problem and Borman would be full of himself, only lurking in the extra dank underground subforums.
I'd be glad to see recurring donations, with at most a custom user title as a "reward", no need to fragment the community between premium users and regular freeloaders. A lot of interesting stuff as come from outsiders/new users in the past, such premium sections found detrimental. I was a ten when I started helping with beta dumping on AG, I could not have afforded the DC Tier-1 subforum.
Just my 2¢, in the end it's the staff that decides.
"I meant as in people in higher castes could look down to normal users" we are adult and responsible if we can't be civilized it's problem
meritocracy ? by what ? share beta build to share it's need money to buy them
it's no pay2win but pay 2 preserve
it's not good if you have to pay 2$ or other Each month but only 1 payment each year it's easier for all
