We created Paid to Play as an opportunity for gamers to get rewarded, just by gaming. Since the program’s launch, over 1B zSilver has been exchanged and over 35,000 rewards redeemed by our fans.
We’re always listening to the community, and everyone’s feedback is important to us. With an increasing amount of negative feedback on the Paid to Play program, we’re going to be taking a hard look into the overall program and mechanics to do right for you and all the gamers who participated. While we take time to develop ways to make it rewarding and beneficial for all, we will suspend the Paid to Play program, effective March 1, 2018. In the event that we are unable to provide a satisfactory solution, the program will be suspended indefinitely.
Making Razer zSilver the rewards credits for gamers has always been our goal, and we’re constantly working on ways to introduce more rewards to earn zSilver. With over 50 rewards on the Razer zSilver catalog, kindly note that rewards will always be on a first-come, first-served, while stocks last basis.
If you’re a step away from redeeming your next Razer reward, here are other ways to earn zSilver:
• Using Razer zGold to pay for your gaming purchases
• Being an active contributor on Razer Insider
• Logging in daily on Razer Cortex
• Syncing your Steam account with Cortex: Deals
• Subscribing to Cortex: Deals newsletters and more to be introduced soon
We thank you for supporting Paid to Play, and welcome all feedback and suggestions on this thread. Should you have any other questions about Paid to Play, please write in to Razer Support or refer to our FAQs here.

Thanks for the program I was able to redeem a Blackwidow chroma keyboard sith zsilver. It really sucks that negativity brought the end to a good rewards program, hopefully its replacement will be just as great.

first of all i want to thank razer for this amazing oppertunity we had specialy gamers who r on a budget such as college students who cant afford gear . the program was far from flawless and razer does understand that and the fact they suspending it (for the moment hopefuly) is them acknowledging that and trying their best to reward us. negativity wont ever go away some people will always complain (not all complaints are false tho) so lets keep our faith in the razer team and wait for them to amaze us yet once again like they did when they first announced the p2p program

My guess is they were losing too much money. I was close to getting the reward that I wanted too.

Such a wonderful opportunity gone. I believe everyone should be able to have Razer gear its just a shame that, for now atleast, you wont be able to grind for it
Really sad that this is going and was shocked when I first saw the announcement because I love the system so much. I hope that it will one day be reintroduced
I find it hard to understand what was negative about it, just seeing the notification "earning zSilver" when starting a game is a positive feedback.
Is there a way to include the community on the rework or at least point out the issues that occured during the program run?
I sincerely hope you will reintroduce it, it has/d potential especially since you started hooking it up to other services.

Sad.
I hope they can at least quickly find a zSilver-alternative for the people that can't afford to buy Razer gear straight out of their pocket.
Because the roughly 16,000 zSilver a year from daily login and forum activity isn't going to get people anywhere if they want to redeem it for a product. Especially not with the expiration date added to the zSilver.
And getting zSilver most reliably from buying things with zGold completely misses the point of "giving people that can't afford it a chance at getting Razer gear" - not to mention that it's not worth the money, as you might as well buy a product directly, given the zSilver prices.

Wow, these are sad new.. Always like to get some reward after long gaming sessions..

i miss the P2P feature, it was fun while it lasted and got some good rewards out of it too.
A
Really hope the program would return as soon as possible 
Lets help one another rake up more zsilver. Anyone up for swapping follows?
Follow me and I'll follow back, will try to do so within 24 hours.
We all miss the P2P feature T_T

And i was getting so close to those sweet Kraken v2

I hope it returns even if the trolls don't like it. perhaps razer should only let people who bought razer devices with really money participate if it is a profit issue.
A
OMG i just started late december last year collecting zSilver, and now already gg? really hurt 
. In future i hope u can put some razer shirt to list of redeem. hehe

Let's admit, even trolls would like it to come back. I mean how else can they earn zSilver quickly?

Are the rewards still going to get updated? I mean, I have enough for a deathadder but I really don't want the "destiny edition"... I was about to get the normal one and they changed it that day :frown_:

I don't see how the negative reviews out-weighed the positive??? "Majority" of the community liked the P2P program so it really doesn't seem right that it is being stopped indefinitely... Seems to me like something else is of the cause?
I think it might be a profit issue. Some people could get free keyboards for playing games. They could sell these brand new keyboards for a few bucks off on sites like EBay taking away from razer profits. I think they could solve this problem by letting people who bought something, like a keyboard, from a store above a certain price. That way, people couldn't buy something like a mousepad and start earning zSilver. This would help razer profits and keep P2P as an incentive to buy a razer product.
A
I understand your need to suspend the P2P program, I have no problem with that, but if you're going to stop people from earning then you should suspend the expiration of points till the service is back up.

Honest question: Why couldn't Min tell us if it's a profit issue? I hate to think that it's actually possible, I think Razer is a good company and I'd love to support it hard but I'm so broke a mouse pad is all I could do.
Maybe its a PR reason. BTW I'm also broke but I saved up for a balckwidow keyboard after about a year.
A
To me i think it was never a "scummy business practice". Do you ever see any other gaming company that has P2P system and give away free things or the CEO of the company be so into the community? So i think its about the community not being able to appreciate good things because all they want is "better"
they did like the banks, at the beginning they gave you high interests ... with the time we ended up paying us the banks to make us keep our money ... it will end so too ...
A
WHY, WHY?! I love very much P2P. Because of this, Im able to play many type of games. Paid to Play is the most sucessful program or features in Razer Cortex. You should do a vote in community before you make any decision like suspension....
A
I just learned about this a while ago, wondering why I was not receiving zsilver for Hearthstone. Now I'm like, how do I get them gud stuff now.

yeah, they need to put the original deathadder elite back
