[Approved] Paid/not paid column in alliance members list

[Rc mayhem]

Title says it all. I would like a column on the members list only viewable by HC, which says if the member has paid for their account or not. This would be particually helpful for smaller alliances so that we can see who we need to bug about paying for their account.

[Rc mayhem]

I like the idea just so we can spam there mail constantly pressuring them to donate £5 to the planetarion coffers so we can have some speedgames for free after round 13

Agreed.

Would also be of some use having such a column in the galaxy list for your own galaxy.

bad idea atm as most evul galaxys are exiling them as soon as they find them not paid in some cases which is a bad thing.

Newbies who don't wish to pay should still have a chance to be in an alliance, or a decent galaxy.

If they cannot be in an alliance or a decent galaxy is more a matter of game features than whether they can hide or not.

Lets be honest here. How many newbies do alliances like Wolfpack take on, and how many unpaid ones do you take on? I'm sure its not many and anyone who is found to have a free account is no doubt removed quickly from the alliance anyway. And its not like they are hard to notice as the game progresses especially in alliances like wp who due tobeing at the top of the tree have one of the first choices of members and thus ensure people of high activity. As such this would hardly change the situation for the top alliances BUT for lower alliance it would be helpful as we get more of these players and it would allow us to see quickly where we need to invest in. This can currently be hard as often people either feel guilty about asking for a hand out or simply fear they will be kicked if the admit it. And when as an alliance your sitting on atleast 10 credits its simply not a good situation. This would help alot

I never said they had a chance to be in Wolfpack. I said they should have a chance to be in other alliances without being specifically kicked out for being unpaid. Some alliances require members to be paid, and some don't. In my opinion, having a "Paid" column on the pages would just promote more alliances to switch to only allowing paid members.

and alliances that do that will produce more resistance increasing the level of game play.

there will always be alliances for unpaid planets, as there will always be people who don't want to pay.

While some alliances can afford to be picky about members they are often in the WP, 1up ect ect range. This simply isnt the range that unpaid planets currently exist it and are unlikly ever to unless unpaid planets get all restictions removed. The lower alliances however dont get such a choice, they have to take members when and where they can and either try and persiade them to pay or find a way of paying for them. Even if you cant get them paid they still offer some help, the only difference is they might receive a lower priority when it multiple defence calls come in at once, just like many of the bigger alliances will give priority to members who have the most defence points.

The thing is many of us running smaller alliances are as passionate about our alliances and want to see them do well which drives us to find ways of getting people upgraded and this would be alot easier if we knew who was free and who wasnt rather than having to ask and hope the answer or guess.

I think alliances knowing this would be a good thing, but galaxies knowing would be a bad thing. SO Approved
