Can anyone explain to me how a person in my club got VIP status while only having the game a few weeks? Customer care always says that in game purchases play a role in the decision but not the whole factor. I have spent over $500 dollars(which I was told by other VIPs is how much they spent before they got an invite) in less than a year and have been active 8-10 hours a day on the game, as well as active on Facebook, Twitter and this forum. How in the heck does someone get VIP in a few weeks?

If what I’m reading about how one gets VIP status is at all correct, it must stand for Very Insane Priorities. This doesn’t seem like something to be proud of or hope for, but rather a cause for serious reflection at least, if not outright concern. There’s a whole world of options out there, & even just talking video games alone, there are millions of them; thousands of which you’d surely enjoy as much or more! Think of how many games (or countless other awesome things) you could enjoy with that time & money.
Speaking from too much personal experience with addiction, I intend neither mockery nor judgment. I simply suggest that if any one recreational activity is taking a huge portion of money and time, it’s probably a good idea to seriously ask yourself if it’s really worth it; really making you happy; and really the best use of your resources. When any one particular thing starts dominating your life to the exclusion of all else, it’s probably time to try avoiding it for a day or two, just to make sure you can. Aside from obvious exceptions like family, career, & educational commitments, if there’s something you feel you absolutely can’t put aside for a couple days, then that thing almost certainly is or will soon be a serious problem. Games should be fun, not an obligation; a diversion from life, not life itself; and most certainly aren’t more expensive than rent each month for any reasonable person.
Thanks for considering, and best wishes to you all.
Anyone else had a similar or different experience?
