It's simple.
cuffmaster wrote:i understand. but using the words "donations" and "rewards" r very deceptive. Lsrcr has more of a buying/selling market. Not a donating one.You keep repeating yourself and you'll keep getting the same answer.
cuffmaster wrote:lol i keep getting the same answer by different people, so i explain myself over and over again to the new people.Not really, when donating you're expected to know that you're donating and not actually purchasing real items that can be exchanged for anything IRL (or at least shouldn't be).
whats happening at lsrcr is very clear and anyone who chooses to ignore this issue is avoiding reality.
WHEN DONATING TO LS-RCR YOUR CONSUMER RIGHTS ARE NOT AFFECTED AS NO PURCHASE IS MADE. INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE PAYMENTS TO LSRCR ARE IDENTIFIED AS ‘DONATORS’. IN EXCHANGE FOR DONATIONS WE OFFER DONATORS THE ABILITY TO ACCESS SPECIAL PERKS (LS-RCR POINTS) THAT ARE NORMALLY NOT ACCESSIBLE BY REGULAR PLAYERS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT PLAYERS ARE ALL TREATED EQUALLY, IRRESPECTIVE OF DONATION STATUS. THIS MEANS THAT IF DONATORS BREAK THE RULES OR HAVE A QUERY THEY WILL BE TREATED IDENTICALLY TO ORDINARY PLAYERS AND ARE NOT GIVEN ANY SPECIAL TREATMENTS. ONCE A PLAYER HAS MADE THE DONATION, THE TRANSACTION IS FINAL AND REFUNDS ARE NOT OFFERED – FOR THIS REASON BEFORE DONATING BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU HAVE THE BILL PAYERS PERMISSION AND THAT YOU ARE CERTIAN YOU WISH TO MAKE THE DONATION TO SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY. IF YOU MAKE AN ‘UNAUTHORISED PAYMENT’ COMPLAINT VIA PAYPAL WITHOUT CONTACTING US VIA THE TICKET SYSTEM BEFOREHAND TO SEEK ADVICE, THEN ALL ACCOUNTS LINKED WITH THAT DONATOR WILL BE BANNED FROM THE COMMUNITY. WHEN USING THE IN-GAME STORE, PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL AND ONCE THE TRANSACTION IS COMPLETED IT WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. IF YOU MAKE A TRANSACTION AND THE PAYMENT GOES THROUGH, HOWEVER YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THE ITEM, PLEASE CONTACT STAFF VIA THE TICKET SYSTEM FOR A RESOLUTION / REFUND – THIS IS THE ONLY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT POINTS WILL BE REFUNDED. IF A PLAYER BECOMES BANNED BUT HAS ACTIVE DONATION ITEMS WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER OR REMOVE SAID ITEMS – ALTERATIONS CAN BE UNDONE PROVIDING BANS ARE LIFTED ON PLAYERS BY ADMINS. IF THIS HAPPENS PLEASE CONTACT THE STAFF TEAM VIA THE SUPPORT TICKET SYSTEM. SELLING DONATION PERKS FOR REAL MONEY TO OTHER PLAYERS IS FORBIDDEN AND IS A BANNABLE OFFENCE. CUSTOM DONATION REQUESTS SUCH AS GROUP BASES CANNOT BE SOLD OR GIVEN TO OTHER PLAYERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THE CUSTOM DONATION SERVICE WE OFFER IS BESPOKE AND INDIVIDUALLY TAILORED FOR THE PLAYER WHO ORIGINALLY REQUESTED IT. WE DO NOT WISH TO DEVALUE THIS SERVICE BY ALLOWING THE ITEMS TO BE RESOLD OR GIFTED. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER OR REMOVE ANY DONATORS PERKS OR CUSTOM ITEMS IF A PLAYER IS BANNED FROM LS-RCR, OR LEAVES THE COMMUNITY, OR BECOMES INACTIVE.cuffmaster wrote:exactly. I have pointed out ls-rcr being deceptive in the sense of making people think they are donating, while most people actually purchase a specific item from the market.If you wish to write a complaint about our current donation system, please forward it to a senior.
