What does everyone think of the new grab now?
I have been on grab as a free member for a long time now and always enjoyed the site except for a few occasions when the glitches got too much and I left for a while. Lately I haven't been on here as much, but I do still play games, visit the boards and chat to friends. I haven't been off grab for anything (recently) other than personal reasons or everyday life commitments that mean I've not had the time to be here. I'd never seen any reason to go gold as I didn't seem to get anything worthwhile for my money. I was just happy to come to grab and enjoy my games etc.
But now I'm not so sure I like the place anymore. I really DON'T like the VIP thing, I think it makes us non-paying members seem worhtless and although many have tried to say this is not the case, I saw a post on "grab bag" with the gmail that gold members recieved before the change that basically said non-paying members mean very little to the site. it states that VIP members are classed as "very important person" and that their oppinion means everything. Fair enough, they do pay, but what about all of us who've been here for years and stuck with the site through all kinds of problems?? Surely our oppinions count for something too!?
Sure change the name of "gold" to something else if they want but I think VIP is the wrong choice. Status in life is always an issue among people and to bring it into a games site where some will probably abuse the name tag, (look at karma, a relitively smple thing meaning nothing in the real world, but it was badly abused) seems very wrong to me. If they do nothing else, I think changing that VIP to something else is a good idea.
As for all the new bugs and glitches, as with every other change on grab,they happen and I'm sure in time they will be sorted out.
