Not entirely based on credits, the Flirt Rewards points are definitely a secondary virtual currency on the site. As you alluded to below, the points have power to get free stuff and to reward the performers with Boost points.
Understood, but your comments are in large part why it has to be limited. If large quantities of points can be earned without also making purchases on the sites it inherently devalues the points.
You say the points are a secondary virtual currency on the site, but that is many only to you, not to the models that work on your site as when used on them the points don't go towards their pay. The points do yes give us the chance to send virtual gifts to models. But did the gifts when sent using credits before the chance to also use points. award the model with the credits it cost also? Now also yes they can be used for promo codes to get more credits, but that firstly only good for the ones that can, it secondly might make someone more likely to buy credits if not done so before. but how can that even work if can't collect points now like could before to get the amount is needed to then get the promo code?
When it comes to using the points to boost models to just help them with power score which is their rank on your site. The change you made is going to affect the models and their ranks the most. As the number of people who can boost will go down. Some models might have relied on them people in hope that by having them boosting that helps their rank might then make other members find them that might then spend credits on them. Also the fact you keep bring up getting free points devalues them. You devalued them yourself. As boosting a model before did that not last for 7 days? but now if look at the q&a it only last 2 days now. Plus even before the change when VIP boosted they count as double.
Also I think before you made this change would it not have been nice to have stated that a change like this was coming to the flirt reward. The only way a few know about it is if by chance they see this forum, or get told by someone who has. Plus since the change happened is still is not stated as a condition on the earn point page under the flirt rewards tap on are accounts.
You are going to do what you want, and it is still a nice thing for those who now will still get the best out of it. But before the change, it was a great thing for any sort of prem member that made your site stand out cause that one change to virtual gifts and cause it is used to rank models unlike how much credits models get
Totally agree that that is unfortunate. Not to get too far afield, but we didn't pass the laws in the EU and we would much prefer not to have to charge VAT on purchases from customers in EU member countries. Elect leaders who pass new laws.
You say yes it is unfortunate that some of us have to pay VAT, but do you pass the VAT on to them people's relevant governments? If not why do we have to pay it on top of the cost already stated, as if you think it is unfortunate and would not prefer to have to charge VAT on top of the stated cost, could you not make the stated cost as marked VAT include so did not have to then charge the VAT on top of it?
