Hi, I thought of an idea which will be beneficial to badlion. Unfortunately, some people who really want to buy badlion Premium can't. Usually for 2 reasons. One they can't afford it or their parents are not willing to buy it for them.The Idea:
Wouldn't it be a good idea if you could earn your access to badlion premium in a different way? This could range from anything which helps the server become a better environment for all. Think of it like chores. You earn money from them, and you save up, until you finally have enough money to buy what you want.
Everyone could have a certain number of tokens, or credits lets say. You lose them for anything that is seen to make the server a worse place. Ie Cheating, breaking chat rules etc.
In contrast, gaining them by reporting cheaters/people who break chat rules on the forums, just anything to make badlion better in general.
Eventually, you need a certain amount of tokens to be able to play badlion premium. Anything which makes badlion a better,cleaner, safer environment which at the same time takes a lot of the weight off the staff, could result in you being rewarded credits.
x Amount of which will give you time on badlion premium. A good incentive like this will hopefully drive people to make a better badlion. People who do good should get rewarded, badlion premium would really act as a good motivator to making the server better!
Thoughts? If you don't agree with this explain why
Note: I'm just stating this a theory, concept
tl;dr some people can't afford bl premium. Doing good for badlion, reporting cheaters, things which help server (other ways too)= give you tokens. Certain amount gives you access to premium.

If there becomes a new mod position that non-donors could fill then I think tHus would be good.Posted on 27 November 2016 - 01:58 PM
Oh yea, and please don't say" they should apply for mod" not everyone wants to be staff.

"Again i'm not against the idea of people getting a reward for reporting people for things but rewarding people for not getting muted is stupid. Especially if the reward is something that the developers put a lot of time and effort in"Yes, I guess that is a pretty stupid idea. You don't see people getting money for not going to prison for example. I'm just proposing the concept of being able to earn your way up to badlion premium if you can't pay for it , whatever it requires .

I'm going to have to go against this. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for the younger kids who can't afford BL Premium and it isn't fair that they don't get a method to get it. But to summarize my thoughts:1) People getting "tokens" for not getting punished is a stretch, mods can't catch everything (especially if it's in PM) and a bad player will not necessarily get routed out by the system, especially since some things may come off as harsh or not harsh to different people. A "bad person" in one's eyes may be an okay person by another's.
2) Reporting chat abusers/cheaters can be abused quite a bit and cloud up who is really cheating. People will report whomever they want and hope to get lucky or try to witch hunt a specific player until they can do something mildly controversial and get them reported for it. This does the exact opposite of the intention of making the community better if all it does is turn them greedy.
3) Money is not hard to come by. Earning ~10$ is entirely possible and can be done easier than you'd think. As for parents, as long as you are behaving and proving that you know what you're doing, they should leave you alone.
It sucks to not be able to get it, I know. But Badlion needs money, we have a lot of devs who work quite hard for us, we're opening 13+ server locations for Premium, we're making an entirely new client. However, what I personally would be interested in are more abilities for a player to win a Badlion Premium rank. But that's just theorizing.

Encouraging it is good, not to the degree of it being abused. The concept is fine but would be very hard to design around the idea of abuse. At some point I would like to see a global currency that would allow purchasing Badlion Premium through in-game actions, but it just doesn't seem possible at the moment.
