This is correct I have over hundred yocash already and had nothing new to spend on so why should I buy more? :oops:

I am honestly surprised by the negative reaction to this new feature. I believe that Greg and the Team were trying to be appreciative and reward those who have supported Yo and its new owners..they weren't intending to offend anyone. I really don't understand the vitriol around this...the badge system is simply a motivational tool used to drum up some more financial support for the game..for as many of you who disagree with it, there will be others who will purchase YoCash in order to proudly wear a badge. And..this is just in forums, not even in game.

I really don't get the angst. :roll:

I understand the manipulation at play here as far as people wanting that badge or feeling obligated to have a badge....as a way of BVG generating money but I want no part of that please.
If they want to generate money, then put some seriously cool s*** in the stores. ;)

Perhaps they need to get their minds in a Orthogonal mode and get a Polygon on the team?

EDIT:
I have been drawing this and want it finished by the weekend. To be Honest Most of the COOL STUFF is still in my HEAD!

There are a lot of opt out features in the user control panel.. maybe this can be made an option because I really would prefer to be badge-less just as I am now.

i don't really understand at all the big deal about badges. there are beggars with or without them its simple enough to just say no to someone. i think the fact that it changes monthly based on what you spend monthly will prevent any sort of caste system people seem to be afraid is going to happen to them? i understood in 2009 when people wanted the neighbors lists removed for showing coins and yocash amounts but that was because the game was being hacked then and people were paranoid about them being hacked. i don't really understand it now however honestly.

I see where you're saying. :) I agree. I can see the argument that it's not important, or not really people's business since it is a rank that involves money. But I too can admit I don't see it as being that a big deal. I guess I can understand both sides...It's true that I don't think it's anybodies business, but I don't care now that it is either. :lol: :)

What I bolded... is manipulative, not motivational. There are people who feel bad about their financial circumstances and can't buy yocash. No one should ever be made to feel worse about their situation. It's pitting the have and have nots against each other again and while you may feel proud to wear a badge, some of us don't need or want the recognition or want our spending habits plastered on our avis. Those of us disagreeing... DO purchase yocash.. we just don't want it yelled from the rooftops.

Would you mind terribly starting another thread with the hand drawns?

It's cute. But not appropriate here.

Please and Thank you.

I do not understand either. If it inspires some to buy YC-good. the game is financially losing money. If that keeps up it will close for good.

As far as beggars, badge can only be seen on forum. I really do not think we so many bothersome forum beggars. Just say no if such a thing happens.

I think that's totally fair. I'm a bit confused that this was even a necessary move or idea in BVG's plan. It seems a bit pointless to show when people pay and when they haven't. but also there is a weird amount of attention to it, too. lol. I hope for those who don't like it can opt out. :)

I can assure you from my point of view, I'm not going to spend money just so it can be seen here in forums via a badge under my name.
