TL;DR - Remove Subscribers from Wave 1 and put them at Wave 4. I know I had another thread, but In that one I was making a largely broad statement that was only tacitly related to the current outrage. This one is more about my actual thoughts about the recent change. I'm a concierge, full disclosure I'm pretty near the $2500 mark but I have largely restricted my SC spending over the last few years. I don't care that I lost wave 1. Full stop. Doesn't matter. However, it feels very ICKY for CIG to remove some of the biggest spenders from Wave 1, and then leave them a way to get back in by "just" spending $10. There is your optics problem, that is the main issue. *It looks and feels like CIG does not care about the money that was spent, and is only interested in fresh new money. This is evidenced by the fact that Subscribers remain in Wave 1, while the only other monetary method of remaining in Wave 1 is to spend $25,000 which is just a ridiculously high amount of money. You know these people spend money, you know because we don't get the status without having spending the money. So, you try to FOMO them, to get them to think "I mean I already spent X what's $10 more." We all feel it, we all know what your doing, and its wrong. EDIT *Had to edit the OP to further clarify the point regarding the Optics problem. Edit was made on 8-15-2023
