((I'm not sure if this is the right area for this thread))
I did ask this question to the GM, tiyshen. The GM did not have an answer but kindly directed me to this board because only gold members were allowed on the main boards. I was told by GM that the people who run the game looks at this board every now and then, this question and topic is directed to them.
My question about the level perks and rewards being only for gold members, Why is that?
I know that silvers like me aren’t supposed to have a lot of perks to begin with without dropping at least $6.25 for 500 atari tokens, A gold member gains plenty of rewards along the way of leveling up a character to level 40.
Two costume slots on levels 15 and 30, and finally the Icon Perk and it's rewards(Retcon Token and a character slot), as well as the veteran rewards every 100 days up to 600 days.
Also doing the math, roughly $275 worth of products en counting, plus a 400 monthly stipend of atari tokens.
And from what I heard, atari tokens from clearing the tutorial(Could someone clean that rumor for me por favor?)
Silver members get...
Unity's tedious missions?
Like I said, silvers are to drop money for special items, but I really see no problem if they were to have at least one thing when reaching level 40. I feel that the icon perk should be for every members, at least for a silver, to have the icon perk once for any characters so they would only get one extra character slot and no more.
Now I made this proposal in game, however, the only people that got their attentions caught were childish members telling me to “Get a job”. Obviously these were kids under the legal age who don't know how difficult it is to find a job right now, I am 23 years old who have been searching for a job for the past 5 months, I am only lucky to get a decent amount of sleep every week, and on the weekend I spend time on my drawings and playing this game, so you would imagine how irritating it would be to be insulted by children. I would only ask for this matter to be taken in a professional manner.
To the Higher ups who read this, thank you for your time. -Orin

I have been able to find nothing official on the store points received for finishing the tutorial although I do know that it happens. I have received three emails for three different characters, congratulating them of ending the qularr menace and rewarding them with 80 Atari points. But nothing on this is listed in any of the official patch notes or anything that I have been able to find. So I would also be interested in learning more about this from an official standpoint.

At levels 15 and 30, Golds get costume slots, not character slots. How do you figure that amount? I'm honestly curious.

I'm confused, what is your issue? That Gold players get more character slots? If so, well, that's what they (we) pay for, in addition to fully customizable characters. As for the Cryptic points, it's 80 points, which is almost nothing, for completing the tutorial and it only happens once as far as anyone has seen, but yeah there's no official word on it. I do think that Silver players should get the Icon perk, but yeah, probably only once. Devil's Advocate - The problem lies in that if the perk is given out for every 40, this essentially removes the "Two character limit" on Silver accounts. Keep in mind that Gold players are also expected put down money for special items, in addition to the subscription fee, as well. I don't understand what your problem is with Unity tho; are you under the impression that Gold players get some better alternative to Unity missions? Because they don't.

Imo, the Silvers have it extremely well. They can play the entire game, minus adventure packs, for free. You don't get freeforms, you don't get as many costume slots, etc, but let's not discount the entire game coming free. And not much is hamstringing you from enjoying that gameplay.
If I had my way, I'd decrease the social limitation by 50% (maybe more), gives Silvers a costume slot mid-game, and give them the retcon token at 40.
The other rewards ought to stay Gold. A pay-to-play game giving veteran rewards to a free player makes negative sense to me. I could see giving Silver players a toon slot after they reach 40 for the first time, so that account now has a total of 3 slots. But even that's a stretch imo
Honestly, I think Cryptic's F2P model is extremely generous. I started as Silver and loved every minute of it, except for the social limitation. I kept saying to myself "wow this is all free?!"

What if there was a perk for buying AT?
You buy 40000 AT, here's a character slot or costume slot for free.

In adventure packs we can increase the difficulty to get better gear. In NemCon it resets the difficulty no matter what currently...along with a host of other issues.

I had to close all the loot pop-up windows first.
