Putting a special day behind a paywall is insane to me.

If you dont't want to code a special day from scratch for free, then DONT DO IT. Either unlock it for everyone or remove it completely. Stop embarrasing yourselves for 5 dollars

Instead of bringing problems, why don't you bring solutions?

ie:

I don't think this SD should be DS exclusive for "x" reason. I think we should instead implement a cooldown for each special days and lock player models behind DS so they can have exclusive perks and a reason to purchase DS.

This will be received way better by all of us, might bring changes and show your dedication towards maintaining this community, which wouldn't be possible without an embarrassing 5$/month.

This topic was discussed quite a bit when the change was made here: https://www.edgegamers.com/threads/394268/#post-3461720

I'll copy my response from there into this thread:
"locking a mechanic of jb (no matter how small) behind a paywall is bonkers to me. If it was something like a cosmetic that has no impact on actual gameplay I'd understand it more.

As an alternative, why not just have a cooldown after each unique special day to prevent them from being spammed?"

Still feel like this applies. Instead of locking features behind a paywall, just have a cooldown between individual special days (i.e. if I call speedrunners, I must call 2 different special days before it can be called again) and make this cooldown shorter or nonexistent for paying users.

Agreed, but this is not the way to do it.

A problem doesnt cease to exist if its not on the forums. I can't bring a problem anywhere, its already there im just shining light on it. I can bring a solution tho: use common sense.

If this change was paraded around as a solution to spamming special days then thats the funniest shit ive heard on here. All of this is common sense, If i have to make a forum post and argue in the favour of common sense we have regressed as a community. Either way i completly agree with you Wailord.
If I can’t have it nobody can have it. Don’t think this is a good look.
As usual a detached higher-up completely missing the point. Let me dumb it down for you.

This part refers to the person who coded the special day for source2,I asume its MSWS since he does most of tech stuff for jailbreak (doesnt matter either way). Also, i don't play CT let alone warden. This is not a child throwing a tantrum cause it cant have a certain toy. I'm pointing out common sense.
We had a certain thing, Source2 took it away, ego brought it back, half broken with a price tag on it. If you can't see the greedyness that oozes out of that, then I don't have anything to talk with you about.

Also, why would you think I care what you and your pals think is a "good look". You dont mean anything to me? I dont want anything from you?

This is the impression I got as well reading his post, but I want to believe he didn’t mean it in that way.

Sneaky, you have to understand that for the founders here they would not “embarrass” themselves for any amount of money. Dude they have dedicated significant portions of their lives to maintaining this community for us. Do you think this is some quick cash grab? we do appreciate your ideas and you keeping this community in your thoughts but there is no need to be so upset about this. I appreciate you even as a DS, but this place isn’t cheap to maintain. I feel like this thread was a mistake the second it was made and that could’ve been avoided if you would of not said that one comment.
 
We appreciate the suggestion, and we welcome people to add their input, but please leave the toxicity out.
 
This is something we will be reviewing. Thank you for providing your input, and again, please remain cordial.
