A disciple of mine tried it and said that "it works but sweating is faster and more reliable", not to mention that it gives defense skills, so they don't really bring in any revolution or threaten the system, which is why MA probably doesn't care much. Although the spamming is annoying indeed, sometimes Icarus local chat consists solely of the same shit from 3-4 different people.
OK at the risk of "spamming" my own referral id
I have done a comprehensive review of the site for Entropia Planets that can be viewed
here. Personally I have found Entropia Partners (yes that is my referral link
)to be a better earner than sweating (although sweating is more fun/sociable). If you are interested in the details/numbers take a look at my findings.
Why on earth is this even being discussed?
So a group of people have gotten together and decided to support a group that pays people PED to take a bunch of surveys.
Who cares?
I mean, the PED comes from someone depositing into the system. It's then distributed amongst the low level population who likely will spend ALL of it, thus contributing to the overall loot pool.
Really, what's to be so uptight about? No, dont answer that. I already know. You dont like it, so you want to make sure it goes away and nobody gets to enjoy it. But your answer will try to make this action sound somehow heroic when its just petty.
If you dont like their service, leave them alone and dont refer others to it. Pretty simple.
Have to say I agree. I can't really see the issue with the site. It only brings money into the game.
From what I know Entropia Partners society has that website...You should speak with the leader Tia...after all are Eu Partners ...(hint they dev a new planet)
Tia is a planet partner developer?
- well that is a new one! Which planet prey tell?
I got the same answer from my support case about it - I took it as:
"we dont care if you use it, just dont come crying to us if you dont get paid'
I concur with that analysis.
Only one thought from here -
As you are getting peds with unknown records, these peds might have been obtained via credit card fraud and your account will be locked. So unless you want to risk your whole avatar for few peds stay away.
Remind me not to trade with anyone.... ever again... Seriously this is a daft point. Anyone can fraudulently deposit into the game with a stolen credit card or a credit card that they then cancel the deposit with. Same situation with any other business. Although its never been confirmed, the general feeling is that avoiding credit card issues is the main reason why withdrawals take so long.
I haven't seen too much spamming from people blasting there referral id. Which btw the referral system has got to be a joke seeing what they pay for a referee. There are much easier ways to earn money online.
I do see a problem with it existing only because MA is teamed up with Sometrics, which offers a similar platform. This site could be viewed as competition. Although, I think Sometrics has it beat.
Pig can you make some suggestions? As I pointed out in my review (see above for link) all "money earning" activites in/related to entropia are not highly paid when compared for example to a job. What other simple methods would you suggest that are better? I'm quite interested really.
Sometrics is an interesting one... I have found it useless so far... mainly due to little support/offers in the UK. So from that point of view the Entropia Partners is better.
this site only distributes PED which is already in game -- sometrics gives PED that has not already been in-game. big difference.
Disagree. The cash comes in to the owner from external sources that is then deposited into the game when users want to withdraw. Obviously the owner will be keeping a certain amount in the "float" in the game though just for ready cash purposes.
OP is complaining about the spam. Not about the service.
Funny thing is that now local chat arguments about the site's legitimacy take 10x much space than the advertising itself
True.. that is annoying I'll grant you.
Just an update.
We are waiting for an official "Approval" from MA. We have submitted everything required for the same and they are looking at it.
I hate spamming myself, and wish I could do something about that. This service is new to EU; we have been running it for months for Second Life users. SL has provisions where you can click on an ad-board and open a website (a way of referring people). But EU and SL are two different worlds.
On another note, almost 91% referrals to our website come from the web.
Drop me a PM if you have specific questions.
Cheers,
Tia

Good luck. Personally I think you guys have done a lot of work on setting up a good initiative. I wish you all the best in getting endorsed and also in improving your site/experience.
Just my thoughts
