Please do read and give some thought to my views here: > [@VIP points incorrect](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/vip-points-incorrect/1999/8): > > VIP is (by definition) to reward those who’ve put the most money into the game… It’s bound to be expensive… It’s an extra privilege and not a right. The bonuses are all nice whatever VIP level you’re at. GoW at the end of the day has to survive as a business venture. Whatever the f2p passions of @Sirrian and the devs (and I understand they loathe p2w at least as much as we do), if the game doesn’t make enough profits 505 will pull the plug. They’re not a charity… So we have a little creeping … Sad to hear your concerns. Give it a while and see how it plays… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/tribute-nerf-and-the-transition-to-pay-to-play/2009)._
