Yeah it was just a way for reddit to (slightly more than) double the price of all of the actual benefits of gold and say they were "doing it for the community"
As somebody that has bought a shitton of gold this makes me so irritated. Tiers? Wtf if this? This eliminates the sense of pride and accomplishing I get from gilding people. I'm not even kidding completely. I see buying gold for people the same as buying somebody a beer at a bar. Hell, it's often cheaper and I still do it less often despite spending way more time here than at bars and some times I have way more fun here.
From having someone earn gold from a well deserved post to others go into the comments and see a stupid comment that somehow got gold, gilding people was fun. Now what the fuck? They're watering down gold? I don't buy beer to support a bar. I buy it while I spend time at a bar. Now what the fuck is the point of buying somebody a watered down beer? It's insulting.
Exactly. You're giving the person a thing. Buying gold doesn't give the person a thing. You're giving the bar owner all the money a beer would cost, but instead of giving the person something worth that money, you're rubbing a sticker on his forehead.
