I agree with this, I don't understand why it has to be HD only
really? it seems pretty simple to me. isnt this the whole reason they went from reward points to credits?

I think this is great truthfully, and was one of the biggest proponents. The only thing I dont get is why do it half assed. Thats the part that gets me. Its like, ok, youve made a decision to reinstate full-rewards. Kudos. But why complicate things by making some of the rewards in dollar values and others in rewards points. For the sake of simplicity have it consistant and the same across the board. This is typical WIS BS which is what gets to me. How freaking hard is it to use their new $$$ system and apply it to the National Title game as well.

Im happy with the general change as its good for the game. I also commend them for listening and making the change. I just dont get why they do things in the manner they do.

No it was because they said the GC's to other sites were costing them too much.

Fregoe I don't get why it can't just be a WIS credit and has to be an HD credit. Not a huge issue but I don't see why it couldn't be that way.

Because the Championship game participants can still use points for all the things points were good for, and everyone else still gets credits and are not penalized for repeat appearances at lower levels. Other than possibly making a provision to allow for a transfer of over points to HD credits at the GC rate of 150 points per $1 as I proposed I see no negatives with the system.

maybe becasue if you want to start playing HBD you will have to use real money instead of HD credits. It helps generate more cash flow from users who play multiple games. lets say I have 8 dollars in HD credits and 8 dollars in HBD credits. I am thinking of quiting one game. this scenario might intice me to spend money on both and play another season instead of just purchasing an HD season with compined credits and dropping out of HBD.

We all understand the outside vendor GCs, it would have been much simpiler to do away with those then do it this way.

it wont really mean much to a player like myself but it will probably save them alot of money from the casual players who dabble in games for a season or two and than drop out

Ok wasnt aware of this. I guess I sorta look at things from the perspective of using rewards points for more HD seasons, as Ive never used them for anything else.

Which is the reason i think they should just do away with those instead of completely re-vamping the entire system.
