LOL. I'm detecting a hint of jealousy perhaps. The truly moronic indeed. Fuck those ads before the videos, they drive me nuts.Zeeky_Santos said:Your so called benifits can go fuck themselves. HD video? Really, all I watch is ZP, how is blue, yellow and white flash animation improved to a great degree? And Ads? Only the truly moronic and impatient cannot wait an extra 30 seconds. only the foolish get so easily distracted by flashing lights in ads that they pay to remove them. Custom titles? Pretty cool I guess, but no way near worth the asking price.
I say again, go fuck yourself pub club.
Your laptop doesn't do HD? Unless it's similar to the computer from War Games then the chances are that it does. If it's less than 10 years old, it pretty much definitely has a resolution of 1024x720 or more. Also, DVD will inevitably be replaced completely by Bluray or an alternative Hi Def format in the same way VHS and audio tapes were replaced.MelasZepheos said:Why would I want to be? I don't mind about the adverts, since I get them on almost every site I visit now anyway, I think HD is a fad, and since I don't even have an HD laptop it makes no sense, and I don't particularly want another forum in which to discuss things. I have quite enough pointless chit-chat on the regular forums to contend with.
None of other benefits that I'm aware of seem worth anything either, why would I want larger avatar images when they just slow down my computer? Why would I want extra badges when I'm not an achievement whore? Why would I want to be able to change my title?
So in short, the Publisher's Club has absolutely nothing to entice me with. I view it in the same category I place 3D and Blu-Ray in. A pointless fad that I'm rather angry people are wasting money on.
Because I don't want to be? It's nowhere near essential and I'd rather save my money, to be honest.Kouen said:I've always wondered this since I noticed most of the escapist is not members, and always wondered why. For a whole years membership there not asking for alot of money and just the HD Video's and No Ads make it rather worth it in and of itself.
So I put it to you my Non Pub Club Escapist Comrades! Why are you not a member and what would make you want to be a member?

I see what you're saying. I joined the pub club for three reasons only.Zeeky_Santos said:Not jealousy rage. No, this is elitism rage. Because honestly, what do you expect to happen to a community when you ad a premium feature? Do you honestly expect the people who paid money (for as I said the dumbest of things. Seriously, you can't stand an extra 30 seconds? I wait twice as long for half this shit to load, I know how to do shit in the down time, you should too) to act the same as they did before?khaimera said:LOL.

Hell, even this thread looks like a 'I pay for shit, I'm better than you' jab. It's incessant and moronic.
Jealous? Fuck no. Pissed off? Fuck yes.
