I, like many others it seems, am somewhat disappointed by this decision. Not particularly angry, but definitely disappointed. When I decided to get a couple of months premium, I was under the impression that this would allow me to get a free cosmetic item once a month, not one singular point that does absolutely nothing on its own and that REQUIRES me to pay for a premium membership for 10 full months just to come in use eventually for one singular premium item. That's my primary issue - the fact that, to use this specific perk of the premium membership I purchase, I HAVE to keep it for 10 full months or I get absolutely nothing in the form of cosmetics.

Additionally, 1 month of premium is 500 turnips, which is $5. Not much, yes, and I do like the additional perks that come with it. However, the gacha cosmetics seem disproportionally expensive compared to how "cheap" a premium badge is - one spin is 180 turnips, so $1.80. That means three spins are already more expensive than an entire month of premium (180 turnips times 3 are 540 turnips), and for what? Three cosmetic items you can't even pick yourself and, if you're unlucky, you might just get the same thing for each spin.

As someone who has thrown a lot of money into things such as the lootcrates in ESO, I'm honestly not as bothered by the gacha element (especially since I do at least have the option of trading or selling my duplicates here on DV), but the "you have to pay for 10 months premium to receive one single free item" thing still doesn't sit well with me. Please listen to everyone who has voiced this before and just turn the point into an actual free spin - you'll probably lose more potential money if you don't, to be completely honest.

I don't think any of us are complaining out of malice, but because we do like and enjoy the site and want to see it grow and become even more popular, and things like this tend to really screw with the growth of a site.
