Opinions on Premium?

[littleboy6326]

I vote Yes; I find it quite pathetic that if you want to get decent valued items off the wizard anymore, you'd have to be premium unless you want other premium members sniping the cheap items.

I'd have to say no. I had a friend who had the modem connection or something so she listed one of my accounts as hers, I had Premium for a time. Would I actually pay for it? Doubt it. Do I think there's an advantage? Other than getting an item that can be resold for a couple of thousand neopoints once in a blue-moon (totally not worth the amount of real money being paid), no.

No, the 'advantage' is too small to call it that really. A handful of neopoints now and then is all you get from it. Even a gamer makes much more than that daily, let alone restockers. The SSW is mostly a convenience, not an advantage either.

Wow, I have to say I really disagree with the above comments. I have premium and I think it's a huge advantage in a number of ways.

I use the Super Shop Wiz to restock. That means when non paying members are searching through different groups of stores I get the lowest price of any item I search instantly, and I get deals that range from hundreds to thousands of Neopoints daily. As someone who doesn't like to waste time refreshing in shops to restock, this is fantastic, because even when you're banned you can start again the next hour. My account skyrocketted after I began using that to restock.

Premium members get "Something Has Happenned" events in their neo-email account with lottery winnings and items. Sometimes it's just a few NP or a cheap item, but other times it's items worth 50k to over 100k.

Every Friday Premium members get a Space Faerie Scratch Card which always wins something. Sometimes it's a few NP, and sometimes it's much more.

The Premium only chat boards are very good when looking for quick help with a faerie quest, or plot help, or any kind of help, really.

I even love the portal, though it's not *necessary* it's extremely convenient and fun.

We also get a Premium only problem reporting system that works a lot faster than the regular one does.

These may seem small, individually, but ultimately I think they really add up. My family's been on Premium for close to a year and I'd never go back unless we didn't have the money. If you're thinking about it, I recommend it.

Yes, only because of the SSW. Other stuff is fun too, but the SSW is the best.

As a premium member It is fair that you have an advantage. Since we do have to pay for the benefits...just like the new Lutari Island if you don't have a cingular you don't get the benefits...I dont have a Cingular to i cant get to the island but it is fair...and the Super Wiz is all worth it...
