GPRO is dishonouring our credits following this evening's race, so time for a last minute protest.
Black livery has been mentioned, but I have a better solution. Why don't we all just transfer whatever credits we have left into Vlad's account? Theoretically, he could raise the credits per race high enough that not a single person would have any left on their account after tonight, and we'd have nothing to complain about. Ain't that right, Mikko?

Enough people do it and we can shut down our team forums, not have access to team liveries etc. Whilst it wouldn't affect tonight's race, the start of the new era would come in under a cloud.

...or if you don't trust Vlad, designate a team mate and transfer them all to him/her, assuming you want them back after the protest.

Vlad, you now have approval to increase the deductions per race to 100cr, effective immediately. No-one currently in support of dishonouring existing credits will complain. Logic.

I had 4 races at 0.4 and 0.5 cr per race when the announcement was made. The actually price increase and dishonouring of my own credits had zero impact. My viewpoint is clearly unbiased on this matter. People purchased at a price, therefore they should receive at that price. Anyone that purchased after did so in full knowledge of the increase, myself included (go figure), so don't suffer adversely as a result.
Vlad completely disrespected existing supporters with the way that he chose to implement this change.
Honour existing credits at purchase price. Easy solution. Has no actual financial cost to Vlad. People would be happier if he did the right thing for once.

Well if everyone who was against it would do what they said and not buy more credits when they run out, he would feel the financial difference

I don't think it's a case of the price but the easy it was done, you but credits and it says €6.8 a season, you but 3 seasons worth and then get told that they aren't worth that anymore. The issue is about honouring the credits bought at that price, not the actual increase itself.

Well it won't change anything no matter how hard we protest, they only thing we can do is stop being a supporter and that is exactly what i will do when i run out of credits.

I can see where the objection is coming from. Perhaps it would have been better to make the announcement and say that it would apply from after the next Christmas bonus purchase period or something, but it is only 10 euro cents per race, or 1.7 euros per season.
Is it really worth all this stress and anguish?
Up to the individual I guess but to me it doesn't seem to warrant such a harsh reaction.

Surely the solution to all this is for everyone to just give me their credits.

I've been wanting a personal livery for ages anyway. :P

I paid for 1 seasons worth of credits at 6.8 supporter credits. That should be honoured.
