Respected Status Updates!!
TONYMON...Since we got some staff active I figured I would give this a shot since I've been thinking about it for a while now. I was thinking you guys could make some upgrades to the perks rewarded for buying respect. Below is a list of some of the ideas.
1. Maybe if 90 day respect is purchased we receive a % off of our next fav purchase. Maybe 30%? I think this may close some of the PP deals being done and in theory should bring more $ back into PB. Could even do less of a discount for smaller amounts of respect purchased.
2. Maybe respected members recieve 1 day monthly (or more if you choose) where there are no OD's. Possibly an item we
Receive when we purchase respect and can be used anytime within 30 days to use for 24 hrs.
3. Maybe respected members are able to sell back their unused amens for favors to the warden at a fraction of the real cost. (hopefully this will raise the value of amens (which should create a demand for players to have more favs?....lol it's a stretch but why not ask.
4. If events are possibly in the works respected players would be allowed to participate 24 hours prior to non respected players and 24 hours after.
In the end I'm just trying to suggest things that may give people more of an incentive to purchase respect which should bring more $ in.

why not just make it a pay to play game then
not every1 on here feels the need to spend rl money on a idle pc game..even if they actually do try to revamp pb, still people on here who grind shit out instead of being paypalers, so why punish them for that..be happy with the perks u already receive from being respected & stop tryn to make it mor difficult for the grinders! hard enough for them already..seeing as probably over 50% of pb population are grinders, dont need to giv thm mor of an incentive to quit..just my 2cents
shawshankTony....I love ya like a son........but have ya noticed how many suggestions you've made?..or how complimentary and respectful you've been torward staff....for not??......most here recognize you've invested a lot of real life money...and we all have..but to grasp at straws every time kt or mufasa logs on.....c'mon man....your looking pathetic....from one vet to another....you may have a lot of time to kill,but hoping 24/7 that an event happens ain't working......with that said,I'm bbuying DH2'S AND Phoenix'S

JoeInBe...While your idea is good Tony, that would provide way too much separation between the F2P players and the cash players. If you're going to add all those bonuses specifically for respected players, then there needs to be a better method for players to be able to get respected status without paying real cash. In essence, you reward the most active players with better ways to become respected. I don't know if most people know this, but you can buy respected status using favs from the warden, too. You don't need real cash for it.
Anyways, there should be a wheel spin added to the game that users can spin daily, and make sure to include 1 day (10% chance to win), 3 days (7%) and 7 days (5%) of Respected Status on there, along with cash (60%), favors (15%) and rare amenities (3%). That will at least keep people logging back in and give them a chance to win free respected status. And if they want an extra spin it costs 1 favor, then goes up incrementally. So 2 favors for the next, 3 favs, 5 favs, 8 favs, 12 favs, etc.

Spinelli#1 ... no
#2 ... no
#3 ... I like the idea of being able to sell back at a maybe 10 favor or 5 favor rate depending on the amenity. Amenities collected could be used to stock joe and adam, which would hopefully cut down on getting the same "very common" amens as often.
#4 ... no.
#3 Is a real diamond in the rough though. Respect has pretty much been the same since I started minus telling us when joe and adam are in the yard, thus it should stay the same. Also no player should ever be given a day that they dont overdose. Top players who have worked tirelessly to get where they are (Im def not one of them) would feel like their accomplishments were belittled. You want stats you should have to earn them. With great stats comes great power as you can clearly see.
Not trying to start shit just giving an honest outlook from my point of view.
Welcome back Sangria and Tommy!
TBH im good with ANY change they make(as long as its not "reset stats"
).... it would show that they have plans for pb's future and not just letting it run into the ground even further

What is the point of resetting stats? Like spinelli said if you want stats then work for them..I worked my ass off for even these stats I have now, and I hate to say even people I don't like on here put in the time to train hard....If you don't train now then why would you start after a reset? Or maybe you would to start with but eventually the same outcome would happen and you would get bored training.
I like the idea of good changes and to give credit to Tony he is constantly trying to make staff listen and had success with his last idea which staff implemented. Not saying that you're wrong either Shaw about Tony wasting his time.. But it's that or nothing and I know you're just looking out for him...
