I hardly get on IMVU now.. The only way I know how to tlak to my friend is to get on there.
I don't know her AIM or anything so yeah...
She's a friend from about a year ago.
We were RP friends in a big group, I forgot what happened...
But then.. our whole group sorta... broke up.
It just sucked.

Meh...should have known.  I have also noticed that at least twice a month they always come up with some "oh look this scene is so awesome!" nonsense.  Also when they took away the gold pass and added VIP status it is the just the same but gold doesn't charge monthly.  I am grandfathered in, I still get a small discount but why would they remove it?

Probably to get more people to buy the VIP membership.

That's the problem. Too many credits are saturating the market.
They're trying to reduce the supply.
And also by doing that they're attempting to help keep demand up by slowing the fall the value of the credit.
If there weren't any destruction of credits (submission fees, taxes, etc) the demand for credits would drop
and almost bottom out. But considering IMVU keeps making them that'll deplete the value of the credit.
Not just for resellers or IMVU, but for developers as well.
That stamp you got for 200 predits might eventually cost you a few thousand without any
checks and balances for the economy.
IMVU should increase the markup some to help reflect inflation.


The only reason people are against this is because they're too quick to jump on the bandwagon.
IMVU keeps listening to all those whiny idiots who're always wanting stuff for little or no effort.
They're like " nooooo not my credits. give me more."
Then people want to ignore the fact that IMVU is learning about stuff along the way too.
IMVU does have a communication problem though.
And I don't mean about them telling the community about their plans. (There a business. Changes resulting in them staying in business aren't your business and the community doesn't need to feel they have to be privy to everything.)
They just don't put their foot down when explaining themselves to your average forum going whiner.

The only problem is that IMVU saturated the market with Predits in the first place (which was a bad move to begin with). Developers are already hurting due to that. When they implement the tax situation, it'll happen to all credit transactions, not just those with resellers or customers buying from the catalog. If they want to get credits out of the economy, they should stimulate the economy without injecting more credits/pseudo-credits into the system. They could make (worthwhile) bundles without credits added to it as a start.

IMVU's action-without-thinking precedence is not working so well for them.
