There probably are plenty of best case scenarios but the faucet is what causes the majority of spam on the website and account level farming/sales. How about an alternative that still rewards leveling up but in a less spammy and more difficult to game way?

ok this might sound a bit ridiculous, but bear with me.

how about implementing a new feature called faucet points or something like that, 1 point for 1 faucet.
we get 1 point for every 50k (or something) that we gambled starting from 1btc (or something).

there you go

bringing back whitelist would solve this problem

Whitelist accounts were auctioned off publicly, half the whitelist were botters.

o ya forgot about that

And as i said it was to subjective . We could give it to anybody who doesn't deserve it , or not give to somebody that deserves it but we don't like him. It wasn't good system.

As I was saying, removing faucet completely is a bad move, totally going to lose like half of the players you currently have to sites that still offer faucets.

Simple solution: Active members faucets remain the same, new comers have 1-2 claims per day so they are allowed to "test" the site, tell support to deal with the emails because that's their job, that's what they get paid to do. Not like they are urgently replying to emails anyway.

Just my 2 cents.

not even giving us bits. we get .00000001 of a penny like that is anything to blink at. Fuck it, it is the governments way of reminding us they have control over us, and we're allowing it. Primedice will do whatever they want anyay.

I got bit nostalgic about faucet.

If it wasn't for faucet i probably wouldn't be here today.

Primedice faucet and community is what got me started. And about year later im mod on pd and earning 1+ btc per month .

But this is also a business , if faucet is costing to much and causing to much problems for support , well got to do what u got to do.

Great thing is that Stunna is asking for community to give suggestions , to say what it has to say , and maybe give solution.
And im sure we can come up with some compromise that will benefit everybody.

I don't use faucet anymore but it got me started long time ago. So i can understand people that rly doesn't want it to be removed.

I started with faucet to get a feel of the game. I was new to dicing until I came to play at primedice so the faucet is how I learned to play. I went from freeloading the faucet to wagering 550+ BTC.

I am a regular on Primedice and deposit a few times per week, but in between those deposit I depend on the faucet to have fun. What will we do while waiting for a deposit that can take more than an hour?

Faucet, leveling up, and tips is what keeps me coming back to this site. Everything factors into the user experience and these things is what keeps people hook on your site.

If another dice site copys you and open up a faucet, they will take away 70-80% of your regular customers.

Stunna, if you value the user experience and the "fun" factor to the game, please leave faucet as is.

This is really well put and I think EarthBound is probably the "happy model" for what you expected from the faucet. End faucet abuse and the support spam that goes with it, not the faucet.

Thanks for Primedice!

If the issue is "support spam" ending faucet altogether is only going to cause more emails to support, from new members AND old members. If you want the faucet farming to stop, allow mods to mute anyone they suspect farming, only allow new members to claim once or twice a day, and tell support to suck it up and deal with it. That's their job anyway isn't it? To deal with support emails? I would assume they get paid, the mods deal with just as much, if not MORE complaints than support does, I guarantee it. And you don't see mods getting paid do you? And I don't think I have seen a mod complain not one time dealing with those individuals complaining about faucet changes.

Yeah Earthbound is probably right. Roll Eyes

There are plenty of people on primedice who work hard claiming from multiple faucets and try to double it, and cannot because there are pickles who abuse the PD faucet. Remove the faucet on PD get professional. Tip:yogi

Honestly, removing the faucet is a terrible idea. It's how I got into gambling and using PrimeDice. I've lost a fair bit (.5 or so) BTC in it, but it was fun Tongue

.

Removing the faucet would cause a lot of users to move and put their coins into another gambling website that does offer a faucet, and they'll eventually gamble their BTC there.

Since you say that support is the issue, why not have a separate team of volunteer community members to answer these tickets? You could create a "Category" section for support requests or have them email [email protected] instead of [email protected].

Or, make it so that you can only use the faucet once per x amount of time, or make it so you can use the faucet say, 10 or 20 times, and then you'd have to deposit .001 BTC or something to continue using it.

Rather than remove the faucet, explore alternative solutions. It'll be good for us all

.

Completely agree. ^What this guy said!

why not just lower back to 100 sat reg and 1000 whitelist. that seemed to work during the pd2 days

That wasn't rly fair deal. Coz we (mods) get to chose who gets on that list. Its not fair , it can be subjective ...

it can be but it worked fine for all pd2 it seems

I agree with this, removing it completely is honestly a bad move. I understand you are dumping a decent amount of money on faucet every week, but there HAS to be a way to control the farmers. And not just the regular members who use it for fun everyday, let them use it as they please, give it they are not breaking rules. At the very least make it that newer users can only claim once or twice a day.

I'm pondering the removal of the faucet more seriously now, the cost of it has significantly decreased but the incredible amount of support emails that center around the faucet itself or amounts under 0.0005 from faucet bettors along with a much larger userbase has decreased the quality of the support we can offer severely. Many argue that it must be removed as it lowers the quality of the chat and community as well.

What are the thoughts of everyone and if faucet is removed what should levels be used for?

Thanks

I think this is bad idea. why? because some people like me needs faucet to keep us hooked to the site after we're busted.
people don't have unlimited money to bet, you know. once they bust they'll have to wait for their paycheck or whatever before they have the money to gamble again. and they might search for and find a better way to increase their btc while they're waiting for that.

so yeah, I think removing the faucet would be a bad idea.

sorry if my English have some flaws
