MTX news should have a separate news thread. This week has lots of great QOL changes, but got downvoted due to the oddments nerf. This is really unfair to customers and J-mods that create actual game content.

Bottom Line Up Front: I know MTX threads will always be at 0 up votes, that is a very small price to pay instead of having ALL the news at 0 up votes.

New, returning and existing players will look at the up vote count to see how the update is recieved. This one should be at 98-99% up vote. The one bad thing in it has it tanked at 48%! That is not good.

It makes potential new customers and returning customers think this game had a bad update... this one is super good!
It is unfair to all the J-mods that created the actual game content from being shown the appreciation they deserve.
It is unfair for existing players that think "well another sh*tty update... why did I buy members?"

Like I said in my opening sentence.... what is the point in having ALL the news downvoted instead of just the one or two small MTX related things? This actually hurts your business! It hurts player moral and keeps other players from joining the game... we NEED new players!

It's been the Structure of TWIR Posts for as long as I recall, we'd need to ask Azzana (on Discord because he prefers it there) to separate them, and then hope his successor follows suit.

At least it makes sense to separate them when they're cosmetics like the ones we'll get, for other regular promotions, like the ones from previous weeks it's fine for them to stay in the news posts. They're like 12 Lines of text.

But on the other hand, there's people who are used to read about the latest and upcoming TH Promotions in the Weekly Posts and actively look forward for them.

😬

Idk, i didn't expected this topic to have these many facets ...

I read reddit as well don't worry.

TWIR is aimed to be a catch all of the things happening around when its posted, this can range from updates, patch notes, merch, events and Treasure Hunter Promos.

While I get the want to separate them out I could see it causing trouble (I don't imagine the people wanting to ignore promotions would appreciate more posts coming out that are exclusively for promotions)
