If this were to be implemented ETF2L would still make efforts to gain the support of sponsors to be able to provide a minimum prizepool for certain tiers. To give you an example: Let's say the prizepool for the high tier happened to be a minimum of 500€. Teams can choose to pay 10€ per team to be eligible for it,with every payment being added directly to this prizepool. Teams that don't want to pay can still compete in the high tier with no difference to the teams that did pay,other than the fact that if they happen to place first/second/third they won't be eligible for cash prizes. 10€ per team really isn't that much,split by 6 people that's about the price of 1 mcdouble (for the traders out there that's a little less than a key) that every individual has to pay per season to be able to receive an exponentially higher prize which'll (in this case) AT LEAST be ~300x the money that you payed as "Pay 2 win entry fee". Naturally with odds this good any keen team should take the challenge and risk a tiny amount of money to win the big pot. Combine that with donation incentives like we had for this season, potential rewards/perks for teams paying higher entry fees (of cosmetic nature, none of which will give you an unfair advantage over "f2p" teams of course) and the resulting higher prizepool will motivate more teams to be competitive. Just like perm I'm also against ETF2L becoming a pay to play league like ESEA happens to be. Not judging the americans or anything,but as far as we're concernced it just doesn't feel right for a community run non-profit free league to suddenly force cash and/or item payments onto their userbase just for a few extra bucks in a prizepool that ultimately won't matter because there won't be any teams left to claim it in the end.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=31020&post=526007 Sun, 01 Feb 2015 01:08:24 +0100 Reply by CHERRY COKE https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-31020/page-2/?recent=526021#post=526002 Quoted from Phnx

I like Permzilla's "Pay-to-win" suggestion, would be nice to add such thing, it won't harm anyone.

[...] Where is the subtle donate button? I would like to donate, but I am guessing you have to go on the IRC, to contact an admin and trade them, or does ETF2L have a trade bot?

I dont really think Entry fee needs to be applied. I mean, what ETF2L is doing now is completely fine and suitable. Donate if you want, nothing forced. Get some perks in return. I like that.
