Please Naker, you should not take the liberty of speaking for others, what's that ? You don't even say why you are a supporter yourself.
I pay to support the game. I can afford it. It's a tiny little help as a passive participation. If the game wasn't 100% playable for free, if supporters had game advantages over free members, I wouldn't give a cent. I like it the way it is.
Additional features, they are nice, they certainly are incentives. But if I didn't want to support the game, I could easily do without banners, flags and even PL games. And a lot of people do without them and seem to enjoy the game.
Those who behave like customers because they are supporters have sadly missed the point.
It is not an excuse for the latest problems on the site. Some of the critics are legitimate. But it is not a justification for some of the childish and disrepectful conduct you often see here. I will stop now because I could easily go overboard.
