Paid to Play - What's next?

SESNutyou didn't actually give me a good reason as to why they need to have zsilver expire anymore since paid to play is gone. also, use it or don't otherwise tough tiddies is kind of a terrible argument by the way Expiration of promotional credits is so the provider of the promotion can better plan how the promotion works. When the original rewards catalog came out, prices were very low. When zSilver was opened up to the masses with the very generous Paid to Play, keeping the catalog full from the beginning was hard to do because people who had hoarded points before hand had a leg up. For the promotion to look good, the rewards catalog can't be constantly empty. Because of Paid to Play, the costs in the rewards catalog were reworked. To keep those prices low, Razer needs to make sure they don't get spiked by dormant users who show up with massive points and buy out the catalog. Razer chose to have points expire as their way of combating this. Other options could have been taken, yes.

Paid to Play - What's next?

PT.SingerBut that is a gift card balance: money for equal money. @ARMOR_152 misspoke when he said that ALL gift cards expire. Gift cards are not the same as a rewards system, though. Yeah, a gift card refers to money for a product or services to come later. It's seen as a loan, and has laws protecting them. U.S. federal law prohibits gift cards from expiring for at least 5 years since adding money. Some states prohibit gift cards from expiring at all. That is why a lot of large U.S. companies have gift cards that don't expire. It seems like the term is regarded here as a dirty word, but zSilver is a promotion to get people to use Razer. It's not tied to any concept of owing you anything outside of the rules of the promotion. You don't put anything in of actual value expecting to get something in return. As much as @mltan hyped the 'Paid to Pay' system up as Razer paying you to play games, he wasn't offering you actual employment expecting to send out W2s or 1099s based on how many

Paid to Play - What's next?

mltanIt's been a while since we decided to suspend Paid to Play - and each time I wanted to review it, I would go back to the forum thread - read the posts, and decide that maybe it's not worth doing it. We started Paid to Play as a way to see how we could get community members who loved Razer, but couldn't afford to buy our gear, a way to grind and earn Razer products and other awesome giveaways. However, while we had good intentions for it, we started getting a lot of complaints, demands and worst of all - death threats to our team and I decided to put a stop to it. I've thought about how we might bring it back sometime and here are my thoughts: 1. It will be focused more for users of Razer products and services - i.e. it's more to reward our existing customers as opposed to someone looking for a free hand-out. 2. We will probably want to focus on users of Razer zGold - and that will be the MAIN way of earning zSilver - for those who spend on games etc with zGold and earn zSilver.

About the Paid to Play Suspension.

dongerbobSo I am misunderstanding is this out for a couple of monthes or is this completly ending? Thank you for whoever answers. Basically it's ending and probably not going to come back as it will not be a main project to fix it. But if they come up with something, they might bring it back. This only applies to getting zSilver for playing games. Everything else isn't being touched. Other ways of getting zSilver as well as redeeming will be the same. They will also be exploring new programs to earn zSilver as well.

About the Paid to Play Suspension.

I'm actually surprised P2P lasted as long as it did. Not saying I didn't like the program. In fact I loved it. My problem is that the numbers never really added up. I know Razer prides itself on going against the grain, but you can only do so much. The sad thing is, most of what people were/are complaining about the program is so much in their favor that it should be screwing Razer over big time. We've seen a statement that such negativity was the reason from P2P's shutter, but I don't feel like that is the whole story. But their were complaints, and I really want to address the complaints as I saw them. The three big complaints seemed to be: Point Collecting Redemption Issues Game Availability The problem is that the issues people were complaining about are some of the only thing the zsilver program had going in favor of Razer. A freebie program has to minimize the number of redemptions. If it's too lucrative, the company will hemorrhage money and die. Points have to capped to prev
