    Default Supers and 'Never to be released rares'

    I am sick of Sulake profit mongering instead of considering its users. I hope Chris reads this. The definition of ‘never’: not ever; at no time. Where do Sulake fail to see this? They have furni they say will ‘never’ be released and then remove it from the list for the possible release. A lot of kids live by habbo and use money to buy rares to build up and then buy supers, and then Sulake go and release them. This is just wrong, releasing the dj decks, what is that all about? Has Sulake not got enough new rares to release? How long is it going to be before we read the headlines that a 12 year old has committed suicide over losing everything on habbo? I think competition prizes should stay as prizes and not be released like the red smoke, I sold mine when there were only two for 18 T. Then it gets released, so the poor people that owned the two that came onto the hotel by way of a competition lose a lot of pixels, if Sulake are going to release such rares they should have a page stating how many are on the hotel and the likelihood of future release. However they will not do this because it will make the competitions less appealing and so they will not make as much, as people will not trade for the items for high prices, there are way too many re-colours on the hotel anyway. Sulake are playing with people’s lives and need to consider the users a lot more. Ione gave out gifts that were stated ‘never to be released’ and yet again there is speculation that they will be. Sulake have killed the supers game, in it’s bid to profit monger. Sulake bring out original rares and stop this farse, or else make it clear from day one that these rares will be in the catalogue in the future, that way no one will pay a high price for them. The supers where there is only a handful are already too easy to manipulate the values, as certain people have proved. Habbo is supposed to be a happy place to be and not leave kids distressed because they invested in a lot of supers and then it gets released. It may be wrong for kids to get so involved in a website, but that is Sulakes aim to get them addicted, but then to smash their dreams is just plain wrong, no one wants to trade for supers because of the way the supers are being handled on habbo. The way staff handled the unreleased rares was despicable, logging into Andy’s (Evolution) account and removing items from him and changing the password was just pure wrong, and whether or not he was a friend of Justine’s (Callie) and maybe got a lot of rares from her still does not justify it. It was Sulakes security breach that allowed the account to become compromised with the result of rares that should not have been on the hotel becoming available. They should have eaten humble pie and reimbursed the users that bought them regardless! I did after long debates get my furni back, however others were not so lucky, maybe because I am an adult and they are kids, it just shows another side to Sulake. Taking their frustrations out on kids, because their security got compromised, and to them it is only pixels, and worthless, so where’s the fuss over reimbursing users?

    It's a business so they released whatever they think will make them money. If it's a super rare more people will buy it because they think it will be worth more when it is out of the catologue. I seriously don't care what sulake do with rares.

    I also do not care, and obviously they do not either, which is my point! Like i said, profit mongering and not considering the users!

    So his name is not Chris? Just because i refer to peoples real names instead of user names does not imply i regard them as 'mates'.

    As said above, its a buisness. I expect that the company manipulates rares - They'll look for super rares in high demand and release them, as it simply makes them alot more money. I expect thats one of the only reasons there are super-rares. So they can use them as a strategy to release when they feel they're in high demand so they make money.

    I definetly do not agree with the way sulake handle the releasing of rares but then again good on them for making money. So, its a 2-way story really.

    I have opened a topical thread, open for discussion, is that not what this forum is for? I can have opinions about such topics, as i said i do not care, that does not meant that i do not feel sorry towards other users that take their pixels seriously and who actually waste a lot of money on Habbo.

    They can release a new rare and make as much, especially if it a new rare and not a re-colour, and a useful attractive one.

    Lmao .... perhaps read threads where the topic of the unreleased rares that involved Emma (Redtiz) and then say i'm a suck up! I in no way am a staff suck up mate so get your facts right! I have had many dealings with staff, and none involved sucking up!
