Make capella testing a total time played instead of LTS

Dec 04, 2017 baxterthecrafter2.00 link
For when the capella comes out for testing (if it ever comes out) can you make it so that to lease it you have to have a total time played instead of being LTS, it seems to be unfair that only LTS only gets it, but there are many players and vets who want to test but dont want to sub for 1 year or want to waste their 1 time use to be a LTS. This can help with fine tuning the capella with a more diversity of players to give feedback instead of major guilds that have most of the LTS members fine tuning it to their own advantage.

I suggest making the total time played to test the capella around 100 days.

Thanks, Baxter

No, it isn't unfair, it's completely reasonable for us to give supportive players some reward for their help. After all, it was their help that partially funded the development.

Its in billing options. Sign up once i mean

There's no penalty for stopping a subscription after a year. So it is not a "one-time use" at all. You can sign up for a year (LTS), and then cancel and not-be-subbed for a month or a year or whatever, and then come back and sign up for another year as LTS.

The penalty is if you claim you're signing up for a year and then bail after two months because all you wanted was early access to some temporary content.

That's basically exploiting a system that's intended to provide support to development of the game, and reward those who are genuinely supportive. So, that's why those accounts are then flagged as not being worthy of LTS status.

It's all explained on the billing page.

Also if you cancel your sub in mid LTS because INC implemented some asinine thing Greenwall wanted you lose LTS.

What? I'm not sure what you're talking about. It's as I wrote above:

The penalty is if you claim you're signing up for a year and then bail after two months because all you wanted was early access to some temporary content.

That has nothing to do with Greenwall (?), it's exactly as originally designed. Yes, if you're subbing as LTS and are mid-pledge (halfway through your pledged year) and then cancel your sub, then that's exactly what I described above.
