RE: BONUS MONEY FOR NON-PLAYING FORMER MEMBERS...
I always thought that the "execs" at AiB were missing a screw or two, now I know for sure. Why a business would risk losing their loyal, repeat business to bring back lost customers is beyond my comprehension. Sure. Everyone wants to retrieve that "fish that got away" but you don't dump the rest of your catch in the ocean to do it. That is what AiB has done. In an attempt to bring back people who obviously decided to no longer play there for one reason or another, they have lost some of the people who, win or lose, have been there every single day, spending their money, building up the tournaments, virtually keeping the place from becoming a morgue.
And what is their reply to our inquisitions about this matter? "They are working on something for the regulars". Pfooey. Why weren't the "regulars" taken care of first? Top rule of business... take care of your repeat customers, their loyalty can make or break your business and they are the only ones who will be left in the end. Unless, of course, you allow them to walk out the door.
Besides... what in the world could they possibly do now that would extinguish the anger we feel? What can they give us that will not feel like a token meant to simply pacify us? Are we to feel that our worth is being measured by some two bit exec who doesn't have the common sense to build his house out of bricks? No matter what they do now, for some (or many), it will not be enough.
I have removed my funds from this site. I will not play in a place where my patronage is appreciated less that that of someone who has long since departed. Besides... if the current situation is any indication of the way AiB does business, it's obviously more beneficial to the player to leave.
