Okay, I've seen little discussion on this, and a lot of it seems to be simply pointing out "gold benefits are current play levels" so I figured post a thread, ask, and see what's going on with it.
What specifically are Gold member benefits and if so what is some of the incentive for current subscribers to continue to be Gold members?
I would really like if a Dev, GM, or someone would post on this because I am honestly curious. It's an honest question, one that needs to be answered for the community and to avoid loss to the competition somehow in the long run.
For example, we have gotten the travel power one answered, but what about costumes, C Store purchases, areas, access to things like super groups and characters. Is there any plans to make it more enticing, or what?
Especially considering a lot of us have gone through the current missions endlessly that the only way to entice us further is a significant change to content. More than just a new "look" to it, but a new face lift completely with new missions, new content, new means to get from point A to point B.
Also, what about the Lifetime subscribers (I'm one, for example) that are basically being told "you paid for a game that went free to play and are now basically a regular subscriber that doesn't pay" instead of getting things like veteran rewards, etc.?
Speaking of Veteran Rewards, what about those? Is there going to be another level of rewards and if so when?
As far as benefits for lifetime subscribers or gold members, I would like to suggest a stipend that's small and might take a while to get up to purchasing C Store items for starters. I understand that is intended to be a big money maker, but so is paying for the Gold membership which is basically "rewarding with so many points" according to another post.
And, lastly, what in the world brought this on and why do so now? I mean, what gives? Silence for months and now this?
