***Rant Warning--No malice intended-More ranty customer insight/feedback
I have a few memories of posts on this thread mainly about the player's nightmare that is getting to Level 21, average to pointless rewards and so on... I have done a quick search and seen a few that I recall or read vaguely similarly to how I am feeling right now. I have in the past added to such angry/pissed/feedback both pos&neg or just had a bit of whinge here and there! I do not always expect to be heard or dished out freebies in compensation sometimes its just nice to share stories or seek the advice of others in the same shitty spot concerning VS issues. In a shout out to the positive-- Often, Dan is quick to offer support to solve issues, and if that wasn't needed, he is always fantastic to send a quick msg and acknowledge my feedback which would then restore my faith and feel valued again. It is likely I will continue to play there even though i really feel strongly about the lack of reward/fairness is player bonuses/actions amongst a couple other little things.
Recently I had a 100 FS in Gonzo's and 20 or so in Lights. I assumed this was a reward for some sort of trophy as I had been broadening my game play lately. While grateful for the reward, I played and I think probably won about $10-13 (don't quote me it could of been more/less but it wasn't anything to start planning my retirement on anyway

)
I have just seen a post here on the thread, sorry I can't recall who wrote it-that mentioned 100 Gonzo Spins being the XP 21 Reward. Now that I know this information, I actually am pretty irked and kinda lost for words like jaw-drop Lol. ARE YOU ACTUALLY KIDDING. THIS CANNOT BE RIGHT, RIGHT? As you guys know, A damn lot of time, money and effort went into reaching that ridiculous level and having followed the forum here and there I would see posts about it and whispers of exciting bonuses at the completion of the milestone so I guess inwas looking forward to it.
Yes, I defs reckon 100 FS is a great reward in general, and I would typically be stoked but is it really in line with the efforts required for 21xp? And, not only that, my entire VS gaming history account will show little to no spins ever on Gonzo-because I actually hate it and never ever play it (aside for FS rewards perhaps, battles or when I was new and exploring) so why oh why on earth would I be thrilled to sit through 100 FS that I have to manually touch to spin and watch and wait and load and basically consider not even finishing the rest when i had about 79 to go.
If I'd known I'd hit level 21, I could of checked before redeeming what the reward was for and maybe gotten it switched. However, I did just try this with Chat, requesting maybe an exchange for FS for the £2 ticket I have seeings as I Cannot actually access that feature and my recent history will also reflect this-I reckon its been months since I was on desktop and sat througha good stint on battles. I know tailoring a promo to every single person is impossible.. But I really guess I was mislead thinking Level 21 would mean a little bit mire thought could go into it, theres shoukd be enough data to find something about me and my preferred activities.
Alas, I must wait for an email from the bonus department.I've already envisioned the response a,ong the lines of "sorry unfortunately there is no bonus available that we can give right now but VS offers regularly weekly rewards mondays/Fridays si be sure to check back again there to,see if you are a lucky winner"
I have no access to a computer, so am now an exclusively mobile player. This means
I get no notifications of new rewards (not that I'd get any anyway haha since none of my usual favourites have rewards attached to them and I cannot play battles)
I cannot view my XP progress easily:requesting desktop site often works, but sometimes it's a hassle so I only do it every so often mainly.
if ever I need to speak to Chat, I have to use desktop site, or send an email which is not helpful when ya want it fixed then and there. Other sites sre mobile support enabled so why not VS
But... Having had a few mixed messages in the past, I use it as last resort. Just try to fix it myself (off/on again instructions is not worth a chat LOL), Search/Post CM forums to help, speak with Dan or give it a day or so to see if it might fix itself. Navigating the desktop site via ipad is awful-tiny text and loads of links always risking hitting the wrong or a reload/refresh takes you back to mobile or even logs me out!
Though I know admittedly, I am well suckered in and will continue playing no doubt! But this brilliant Gonzo prize has honestly, actually seriously made me question staying- I mean, what is there to look forward to-if I haven't experienced it by xp21, I'm feeling like it's unlikely I ever will I reckon. I play at one other site only but always tend to stick with VS as the range of games is a little superior and come to think of it, Now I have got this far I don't exactly want to throw it away, it was nice to have a little goal and feel like a bit of a valued, commited player for having reached it if only for a moment in my head lol!
