Either way, it's a different alternative which in my opinion, wouldn't sky jack the retention rates but having other ways to earn TPE definitely will help with retention in my opinion. If a member doesn't like writing, nor can they do graphics, they leave the site. fuck that, I'm not writing 600-1,200 words every week is what some likely say. Well, I can't do graphics so guess I can't really make a good player.
Different alternatives will make it better for veteran members. DUR. Thanks for pointing out the opposite, but we're no different than new members. As it benefits them, it would obviously also benefit us (and that's not a bad thing).
In my eyes, if we can take a look as a community and find effective, beneficial ways to revamp the TPE earning system and potentially bring in alternative ways ot earn TPE, that would be a bonus for the site as a whole (which includes retention and possibly recruitment). This, VHL Big Brother, was a simple - enjoyable way of doing so. Doesn't have to be this - was merely a suggestion that I know some people would like and see no harm in doing.Maybe the prizes could go down, sure, but it is lengthy to mind you.
