* in 2015 as a starting supernova player, u earn 350k fpp (first 100k vpps) u get 350k*0.016$=5.6k$ in rakeback (obv also stellars as said below)
* in 2016 u earn roughly 5.5 starscoins per 1 vpp (as starting supernova player?), so thats 5.5k$ per 100k vpp in rakeback;
But u obv dont get 1.2k$ stellar bonus for first 100k vpps in 2016 compared to 2015, and 2.6k$ milestone bonus for second 100k vpps (the 100-200k jump), 2.8k$ for 200-300k vpp etc;
So ur roughly losing milestone bonuses each 100k vpp`s u earn (plus 100-200$ each 100k vpp in fpp=starscoins difference) this year right?
Thats 1.4k$ loss for 100k vpp per year supernova player, 4.2k$ loss for 200k vpp supernova player, 7.2k$ less compared to last year as 300k vpp player etc?
Also my status currently says im supernova, is that the case? i don`t need to maintain or what. This whole new system is quite confusing.
There is no monthly maintenance but you still need 100k VPPs over the course of the year to maintain it next year.
Stellars have been abolished.
VPPs are earned at 5.5 per $1 raked (which is a 0.5 reduction for FR games 25 and above).
Every 1000 vpps earned gives you 5000 stars coins which are worth $50 cash. Stars coins have a fixed rate of 1c per stars coin and can be purchased in $25, $50, $100 and $1000 denominations but the rate doesn't change.
Every fifth 1000 Vpp step pays 5500 stars coins so extra $5 each time upto 100k vpps. So first 100K vpps = $5100
After 100k vpps it's still 5000 star coins per 1000vpps but every fifth on pays 9000 stars coins. So each subsequent 100k vpps is worth $5800.
I guess then its not the hugest loss for lower 100-200k tier volume grinders, but it gets quite depressing for the 300k+ guys.
But yea the direction of their decision making, coupled with the spins etc (that hurt winrates badly) is the main problem where Stars is heading here.
^Those charges are the least of everyone's worries. Once the boycott is over and games settle down, the reduction in "rewards" will also sit alongside tougher games and probably less traffic too.
I said couple of months ago that people should be very careful how much money they leave on stars bc nobody is really safe these days. This illustrates it fairly well
