Way to Make money without shafting us

Sisok- Sadly, my other account ran out the day before The Greedy One put his new policy in place, so I have to use this one until I am able to re-subscribe to Graal, though I think its coming to the point where graal is not worth 14 every 3 monthes. Well, here is the idea.....

Dollar to Gralat System!

players would be able to trade $1 for 10 gralats, using a credit card or other ways. This would help Stefan and the Greedy One make money off of graal instead of just shafting us gullible consumers by forcing us to pay for things like this board, which is incredibly stupid and greedy.

LOL! I can picture it now:
A kid comes to his dad after finishing his chores.
"Daddy, can I have my allowance now?"
"Sure son!"
The kid takes the money and goes on the computer.
"Yay! Now I can go by some gralats!"

yeah I upgraded for year.. I still have over 200 something days on it.. I'm not worried about paying.. if you just upgraded for a year it would be better because you wouldn't get forced to pay more money every 3 months or whatever..

This account has 150 days left on it from its half year. My other has about 335 days. So I'll be around for about a year at least. Then I'll have to cough up some dough or find some gralatless charitable rich man.

Sorry but I think it's a total rip off. Half the whole point of making cash is earning it

If it's not "worth" it, then don't pay for it.

Perhaps better wording would have stated, simply, "It's inconvieniant to pay 14 dollars every three months and not being able to use the boards otherwise. Change your system, or change your paycheck."

I'd much rather have a gralats to dollar system, but that'd cost Cyberjouer millions.

I think it's ridiculous to call them greedy just for charging for a service. Live with it, ey?

Stefan can do what 10six is doing

A Referal Program
If Player A tell Player B about Graal and player B upgrades his account and says Player A refered him..Player A gets a good sum of money

the problem with upgrading for a year is that graal is not worth a year

around 700 hours...divide by 24..=29 days. yep it took me about a month to realize this, too bad you can't upgrade for only a month.
