Now, I made this same suggestion a while back, however THREE staff members somehow misread it as "remove prewhitelists for donors lol!"That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying, every game that isn't at 3 AM for NA people fills with donors and nobody else has the chance to join.
Now, obviously, this is annoying.
I'm going to rephrase my suggestion, as in my earlier post, you misinterpreted it.
Pre-whitelist SHOULD NOT be removed.
it's a cool feature.
but when 319 slots of 315 are filled with donors, it's extremely annoying. the few non-donors who can play are lucky enough to be either friends with or teaming with a Lion.
Again, I AM NOT saying that pre-whitelists for donors should be removed, merely limited to, for example, 200-250 slots for a 315 man game, 300-350 for a 425 man game, et cetera.
I request that you consider this idea seriously before locking the post because "You don't want to remove donator features".
I get badlion is becoming a large network, and network hosting is expensive - I used to run a small network myself. But there's already many perks, such as UHC meetup rerolls, endless ranked/unranked arena matches, ability to join late in games - which, if donators have this, why do they need to fill the game pre-whitelisted? It surely won't hurt to reserve some slots to only be filled once the game opens - donators can still use these, if they join at the same time as non-donors.

Again, this isn't "lol let's remove from donators because I'm cheap", it's more of "Let's give non-donators a chance to join the game, so that you aren't required to pay $10 or have a friend who's Lion to get into a game."Posted on 20 March 2017 - 09:06 AM
It's not that Badlion WON'T remove perks. They CAN'T. At least not legally.Posted on 20 March 2017 - 09:13 AM

I'm not saying to REMOVE PERKS. not to be rude, but did you even read beyond the second half of the title?
I'm saying to limit the slots donors can take up with pre-whitelist.
if you recall the EULA, it says that "Someone who donates to a server may not receive access to a service which gives an advantage that people who have not donated cannot." I would consider pre-whitelist to qualify.

This can still be considered as removing perks.Also, don't make another thread about the same thing if it was locked.

I really want to play a UHC, but whenever I try I can't get in. One time I was waiting for 2 hours for the UHC, when I saw the broadcast that the whitelist was off I rushed to the UHC server and within 20 seconds it was filled and I couldn't join. :(((((((Last edited on 20 March 2017 - 12:24 PM by OUA
Well either you buy rank or get someone to whitelist you , getting whitelited is not hard , there's a lot of donors .Also when badlion premium comes out with uhc , most donors would prefer 128 tps over 20 , maybe more spots would be available.
Not to mention that's their right to have spot since they Dontated .

I mean I just want to actually play one game, but you make a good point.I guess I should settle for arena pvp.Posted on 20 March 2017 - 12:29 PM

So, you're breaking the EULA currently, although you claim to be all about it. I could report you, not that I can be bothered to, but someone else might.
You are wrong when it come to Eula , Eula is to remove "pay to win" and the addition of pay to play , when you join a faction server donors have the right to join first that's what they donated for , stop being stupid.
Delete that last part or you could get yourself banned by being an idiot.
Go read Eula before giving lectures about it
