    Default A REAL VIP perk

    Reduce all timers by half or two days for VIP players. This would make VIP the hardcore option it should be. Lots of people really only like raiding in this game, and this would be a real win-win change.

    Edit:

    Upon reading the lack of support for this, I'm sure mostly from non-VIP players, I think the answer is to give a DDO store Premium option also. For 350 TP you buy something that turns off all your timers, raid/epic etc...

    This gives micro-transaction players a higher quality option, which is what they always want, and lets VIP players use it too if they want to go on a raid/epic binge themselves.

    Don't we want more control over our gameplay?

    no thx
    that kind of benefit isn't exactly appealing for ALL players
    paying a monthly fee so you can grind faster instead of less?

    Default a BETTER VIP perk

    I already have a vip / premium account, but today I waited 3 hours to try to get logged in to my %!@*& server because it was too bloody crowded. How about they guarantee VIP account access to a login no matter HOW many people are on the server. THAT, imo should already be in place.

    Turbine can not in good conscience add any new perks to VIP accounts after they convinced many subscribers to convert to premium and new players to choose it initially for the last half a year and then some. The backlash would make the one regarding U5 look quite mild in comparison.

    Your server wasn't full. That is a bug that affects VIPs, Premiums, and F2Pers alike.

    /not signed. Great way for Turbine to lose their premium player base completely.
    Thanks for the long time forum user purge of Aug '10 (Sarcasm for those who don't get it)

    I can't believe more people don't think this is a good idea. Premium players wouldn't have to be left out. Maybe there could be a TP purchase for the same effect.

    but then it wouldn't be a vip perk would it? vip perks are something that premium players can't buy, such as being able to unlock adventures on hard from the start

    I think that would be too big a bonus for people and many premium players who basically bought all the content outright instead of paying a monthly fee would be extremely upset. Some players would rather 200 dollars upfront and own all the content instead of paying 15 dollars a month to get a free pass that expires if you don't pay. Nothing wrong with either method.

    A better VIP perk would allow us to trade plat for Store points to purchase Astral Diamonds and Guild Ship amenities. It really stinks that VIP's have to spend real money in order to get something that would have normally dropped from a chest or would be an end reward before the DDO store was created.

    While VIP really needs some perk added, I'm not sure this is it. I think it might be better to just give VIP's 1000 TPs a month instead of 500.

    Most people who play raids are VIP anyway.

    I see what you did there. Encourage VIP by making the current VIPers (holy **** see what I did there?) happier people.

    Turbine = Cash cow they make me mad at how conveniently everything we complain about makes them money.
