Turbine its obvious which sales model you are trying to promote now.

  • Christmas Double Turbine Points on all point packs


  • 50% off offers on store items every day including expensive adventure packs throughout December


  • Every Tuesday ongoing 50% off offers (in addition to the above in December)


  • Weekly discounts ongoing


It wouldn't be so bad if you had allowed us VIPs to take advantage of all those offers including adventure packs, character slots etc. For some really ignorant reason you don't allow that so we have already missed out on buying content that would have thoughtfully helped us to get out of the VIP vicious circle and into the premium model by buying all content we want at discounted prices.

Worse than that we apparently have to beg devs to allow us to buy content we currently can not. http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=291964

By the time many subscriptions end the special 50% off offers will be full price again just in time so that VIPs will either have to fork out, go without or stay on the vicious circle of the VIP status again, getting access to content but not being able to buy discount content when available to help get themselves out of that cruel web you have weaved.

What I ask of you is to offer every discount that existing VIPs couldn't make use of this month of December, including adventure packs, available to them on one weekend between now and the end of January.

This would show that in fact you are not ignorant to this portion of the player base but also help boost them from the VIP model you obviously don't want to promote now anyway to the store based premium model. This obviously will benefit you in the long run as you will save on giving out monthly TP and benefit from us buying it and spending it on all shop consumables and content that we couldn't already afford and on future content.
