About the Paid to Play Suspension.

  • 0 replies
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.

I suggest that you implement a game tracker to detect afk gamers and stop zSilver earning until the player has come back to the game. I myself like the system as it is, but can see why Razer would want to rework it. People have not been happy with it from the start.

I hope the team can rework it so players will still be able to earn around the same zSilver as they did before. One way they could do this is by introducing giveaway system where if you own a product of theirs, you can review it and maybe earn something from it. This could be in the form of a product or zSilver

Good luck guys.
oh... i didn't notice that they repriced items... i was wondering if i remembered wrongly.

LOL!
I DID NOT LIKE THIS ZSILVER and I will say why, being 5h playing a game that I do not like to win 900zSilver a day comes an hour that gets extremely annoying, I leave the screen minimized and I stay in the browser that is much more interesting than those boring games that you put to win 3zSilvers per minute, put at least the games I like and remove this limit of 900 for something unlimited, so I can leave the PC on while I go to sleep, if you want can take the items of the razer, since most want to sell let alone the games, without counting that any hacker can mine these Zsilvers and buy many products in the store for free, I do not doubt that this already exists.
MY SUGGESTION is to take the limit of 900 per day and remove the razer products since they may be giving you damages because of the hackers.

I think you are part of the reason why Razer is suspending the P2P program due to negative feedback...
So can i redeem after 1st march or no?
This question came from the FAQ of https://www.razerzone.com/paid-to-play

  • Will zSilver rewards be affected in terms of stock availability and value?
    zSilver rewards will continue to have adjustments in value, so that fluctuations in demand and supply can be alleviated appropriately. Prior notice will be updated on Razer zSilver catalog. Rewards stock availability will continue to be on a first-come, first-served, while stocks last basis. With over 50 rewards available on the Razer zSilver rewards catalog, you can earn more zSilver through our programs, to get closer to redeeming these rewards

So will there ever be chances/does this mean that some prices of the rewards will be lowered to some extent? "zSilver rewards will continue to have adjustments in value, so that fluctuations in demand and supply can be alleviated appropriately."
I think the problem wasn't with zsilver and P2P, but with zgold. I never used zgold because the is only few options to spend it. I also think that earning zsilver by spending zgold wasn't really profitable comparing to P2P where with cortex login you get 940zsilver/day and for spending 10$ in zgold you get only 1000 zsilver.

You can't earn zSilver just by leaving your PC on. As the name 'Paid to Play' implies, you have to play to get paid.

Yes you can.
I've been getting points for almost a year to exchange them for the blackwidow chroma v2 keyboard and something always happens that prevents me from getting it ... first they increase the price and now they cancel the 900 zsilver daily 😞
I think should have the option to convert zsilver to zgold, it's wrong they used zsilver just to get products from them
Bring the reward back on insider.
Hope razer can stop zsliver expire date when suspend paid to play system.
So close, and yet so far 😢
It´s understandable it got suspended, since some people where actualy "farming" the gear and selling it.
It´s a shame tho, the ones who really needed got affected.
It should be a requirement, that those who receive the hear, or the gear handled to them should have some kind of sign/ water mark, wtv that forbids it to be sold.
Maybe an engraved form for with the user´s name?
anywhay, i guess i wount be able to stack a few more point for the bag.

I will leave a few sugestion here:

like a progression sistem.
e-mail verification Stack up to 5000 silver ( a steam game worth wtv)
Using cortex daylie = stack up to 10000
participant in the foruns? stack up to 15000...
you see where i am getting at...
This would make getting the coin much harder
but much more rewarding i think.
Following the sugestion of someone saying "give it to the fans who already have gear"
Payed for razer gear and showed it with a picture bonus 25000 stack up. ( unveiling the best rewards) at a limit of 250000 stack.

Sad to see it go, but I understand why. Just pausing it due to death threats caused even more complaints. That's not acceptable. I just want to thank Razer for doing so much for the gaming community. 35,000+ rewards is amazing :D

yaaa big thanks you razer, and im proud to be one of that 35,000, i just got my ornata chroma last feb 5 my birthday too.

This is sad, I don't get why would the users of the P2P program would give any negative feedback.
I hope they bring it back soon.

I have spent a year saving zsilver and i will not be able to get my goal 😞 so sad
That's unfortunate that it's being suspended for awhile 😞

I have spent a year saving zsilver and i will not be able to get my goal :slightly_sad: so sad

Happened to all of us 😞
ok, while its down can you unfuck accounts that have been fucked over like mine?
Would be nice if there will be some zSilver reward after purchasing gears from Razer Store, at least people will be more enticed to buy stuff even when they don't need 'em. 😂
could we know what is the negative feedback about the P2P that came out the result for suspension?
Just wondering, since it'll be suspended soon, will there still be any boosted weekends or stuff like that before it ends? Just sad because I'm really close to getting the headphones I want, but I don't think I can make it in time 😞 Hope this works out well!

What's the point of one more double cap weekend? The program is closing, I don't think we should focus on that right now.
