There are so much complaints about the credits system that I myself begin to doubt too. I won't revert back to the level system though.

Although most of you don't know how hard or easy it is to gain credits, you have assumed that you will run out of credits one day and can't leech anymore.

I may consider the option to make gallery downloading free from credits. How will you like the credits system then?

Do you have any other suggestions?

Interesting, the downloading section would be as it was, then the rest of the credits shall be for what kind of actions?

I still don't understand how the credits work, and I MT3 doesn't want people to necessarily know the formula so they can spam, but the speed of earning them (and what DOES earn them confuses me).

Also, I lost credits accidentally clicking on a scan I'd already downloaded. I would LOVE if the gallery was free downloads, as I think it would cause less confusion (or maybe make the 'cost' more visible? I was at a loss as to why the credits were going down until I finally found the 'cost').

submitting wallpapers costs credit, creating group costs a considerable amount of credits.

NO, in Mt2 you needed to be level 10 in order to download scans. If I make downloading credit-free, it will be available even for just-joined members.

how about switching back to MT2, but keep the credit system, because this is pretty wrong, i love the old one

Yes i agree too, gallery downloading free from credits would be a good idea and will reduce the complains (that what i thing). and what about if we submit new artwork then we have to use the credits? what the main reason they do that?

Well how bout credits for scans, while walls for free, cuz before we had to be lvl 10 to get scans anyway
Also why would having friends in your watch list affect cost?(prolly a noob question:))

hoho, Minitokyo finally changed, but in worse than b4 ^^

I don't like the new credit system. If anything, it would probably stop me from coming to MT. I think the levels should go back into effect for scans, but keep the credits for submissions and group creation. Though, I don't want to have to start over with my levels either. I've been a member for almost a year (it will be exactly a year in one week), and I don't want to start from square one.

On a side note, I need to contact support about something, but it seems that about half the support links are broken.

I agree on making gallery downloading free from credits.

As for the credit system, I don't know what to tell you...sorry ^^;
I am not a fan of the credit system.

But I do hope you consider on making gallery downloading free.

I suppose you can keep the credit system for creating groups.

There's a credit system?

Right now, I still confused about the whole makeover MT has just been through.

If you mean credits as in like money to download stuff, well I guess it's only fair since some people do kinda leech.

But I agree with twinklebyte. Maybe show how much it'll cost. And how to earn credits.

If you make the downloading system free, what will the credits be used for then?

One way i thought we could earn credits was through favs n comments on our submissions, only then peeps would be spamming those to get eachother's credits up
What i really like is the fact that it'll cost credits to upload, it was a bitch browsing the images and only finding one keeper out of a hundred pages

Why not make the newbies get to a certain number of credit points like 50 points? once they hit that they can start downloading for free :)

Dunno how complex that could get, but it's like the old system... I know lots of people work hard to get to level 10 to dl scans...

I don't know what the script will be like for that *once you hit 50 you can dl from then on, even if you hit below 50* or whatever...

But it does stop people from dlling like mad.

I'm still so confused about the credits... I lost points for doing nothing ... hahahaha oh well :)

I see your point. Any kind of Credit level then, like 20-50 for downloading?
How many creds does one earn with uploads/posts, etc then so it can be a reasonable amount of creds.

how about if you submit the scans cost credit while submit your own making artwork didn't cost credit? because making artwork like wallpapers and doujishi is so hard and pain in the ass! MT should grateful that they had the beautiful artwork from their member which already making it so hardly and cost lots of time! while the scans is simply find, copy and paste!

when i first heard about this idea, it was a real surprise to me. but i believe ill go with
the credit free thing. lol

i guess it took me a long time to get to lvl 15 .....I still like the level system....boo to the credits

The scans should be free. After all, one cannot make an anime wallpaper without an anime scan, but submitting a wallpaper should cost you credits. I believe this will force wallers to put an amount of effort into their work, as submitting a cut-and-paste wall should not be rewarded. If one creates a good wallpaper, they will gain those credits back, and then some. Perhaps credits can be used to purchase rankings of a sort, in which the user gains priviledges, such as a discount on creating a group, or browsing the site without any ads.
