Habbo, Scamming its own users?

[Moose]

Thats something to think about...

Mentor, your looking at this exactly the way they expect you to see it. Of course you are entitled to your own opinion, but when you look at it from the corporate standpoint you can clearly see that when a user gets scammed it is more beneficial to habbo than damaging. Sulake claims to have over 200 employess worldwide, if this is true then why are we not able to receive any responses from them? They have a ghost like customer service department, I bet if I were to send an email to their advertising department suggesting that I am interested in paying them for an advertisement on their homepage I would probably get a rapid response from them. Do we all tend to forget that Hobbas are unpaid individuals who provide voluntary work for sulake? And when people get scammed they dont usually leave habbo, havent u noticed that there are tons of people saying "Ive been scammed plz don8". Sure I would agree that most of these users are looking for sympathy and make ficticious allegations of being scammed but the high percentage does show that people will remain on habbo after being scammed.

you may not also be aware of teh mod team, or payed staff, or the fact that alot of work goes in to setting up the habbo systems, and the scammer reporting systems.

They do advertise on teh front page, bu tnot very much, it would end up like fake town without the credits, aka ever bit of furni u click pops up as an advertismnt, sytesm like habbo are not cheep to maintain.

The fact they say plz donate, rather than rebuying tsill shows there not getting any exstra stuff.

Plus if they dont get scamed, they may pay the money in anyway for more stuff, if they get scamed, they ether dissapear, stop buying credits, or spend money they would have spent anyway. as well comaplining, voidng any agin, plus the bad repution it would give would cause the majority of people who may have being thinking about habbo not to join in the first place.

I dont believe habbo should be free, I myself have invested money into this technology and would be quite angry if all of a sudden everyone was able to obtain free stuff that I had to pay for. I understand systems like habbo are not cheap to maintain but if you can not afford to pay for your systems, and also have a department you pay to look after customers concerns then you dont belong in business. Complaining doesnt seem to do anything for anyone regardless, I believe the whole suggestion is up in the air and only time will tell what Sulakes true intentions are and what the future has in store for its users.

No it shouldn't be free.But cheaper.Beacause think about it.Milliojns of habbo's buy credits.And when habbo closes millions of PEOPLE have wasted 10p per credit.

Your wasting it even if habbo doesnt close down, onece you pay its gone, and chnage in to valueless pixleated furni.

Complaing never works, if people stop buying credits then they will lower the prices and make chnages, but as people are still buyting creds by the truck load, theres no need, and all they would do is be making less money, not a good move for any business

Right, I think somone has hit you hard on the head. I don't really get this, why should we care whether Habbo give a :rude: about us anyway? Wouldn't you be out there to get the money? Obviously Sulake doesn't care about the game itself, you never see HM walking around the hotel talking to people and stuff. The only time their ever on is during updates or Habbo games. Their purpose is to provide us with the things we need in order to satisfy us and bring in money to Sulake. They wouldn't have made Habbo to help children, if they wanted to do that they would have offered educational courses etc. Why does any of you care if Sulake cared? What would you get out of it if they did? What are you missing that they don't care?

Everyone whos ever been on Habbo hotel has had something go wrong with their account e.g. Creits, Accounts, Hacked, Scammed, Scripted Room, Pass Changed, Account Name Calling. People come on habbo to get away from the meanys in life and enter another world, Then other think it's a chance to do it again on a game.
