[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 231376, member: 134"] I just don't see how putting what is arguably a $2.50 add-on, but what most would acceptably pay $5, into the upper stratosphere of pledges. I also am not a fan of locking out portions of a game so others can have bragging rights. This goes for any game, not just TPA. I feel this way about pre-order exclusives too, especially when multiple options are available depending on where you purchase from. Tell me, who does this really make happy? Certainly not consumers. Giving away developer shirts or hoodies, hey that's great. Giving away timed exclusives that eventually will be made available to the public? Fine with that too. I have no idea if or when TAF Gold will be made available for general purchase. I whole heartedly think it should be. In the meantime though, FarSight is not earning ANY money off it. And while the numbers of lower tier dollars may not help much in the big picture, it does increase the number of people suddenly interested in it succeeding, which in turn increases the buzz. Buzz and excitement are what juice a kickstarter. I doubt there is anyone out there who either hasn't pledged or did so at a sub $25 level that would look at TAF Gold being added to the $100 or above tier and think, "oh, well now I'll increase my pledge!" That's why I mentioned the deep pockets. I am all for upper tiers getting good rewards, as they should. I don't believe in this "let's have tables exclusively for us" mentality. It's exclusionary and hurts the community. Is my logic not sound? [/QUOTE]
