Premium vs. basic

Well, there were discussions... It was interesting to read few comments and case by case opinions.

I will number them randomly and put my comments.

1.LL support is worth 72$.(Pro Prem)
Well... m kay . Last year I filed two support ticket about inventory loss. I never recovered those items. I used chat last week. "Many ppl is experiencing same problem We are on it, TY for your understanding" ... lol
IS that worth part of 72$ ? no.

2.You can sell your stipend and make 20$ next year...(Pro Prem)
Are you nuts?
Am I supposed to sell 500L and buy back my $, to make 20$?

One of them call me stupid, because I am overlooking the opportunity to make 20$ of pure profit. Or pure profit of 1.80$ every week... *laughs .. Sure...
Probably he is a kid who lives with his mom.

I waste 5$ for starbucks , three minutes from my home couple times a week, even tho I have cuppucino machine at home. Making $1.80 everyweek does not affects my checkbook.
I don't drive gas guzzling SUV to grocery shopping, and try to find gas station located in 15miles away from my home because it sells gas that 2 cents cheaper than the one near .... (This always mind boggles me.)
My credit is top tier.
My rates for any loan is lower than any advertised national rates.

yea, So I CAN afford to and BE stupid about not taking 20$ of Pure profit from Linden lab.
(I know the basic number and that was the only reason I kept prem last year. 360L/$ was pretty good itself. Except, that I prepaid the money and payments will come in next 52 weeks... Oh come on... this is not social security check.)

Actuality? 72$ will go to my regular RL charity and I will add them to my Tax deduction. (Yes, I pay taxes. ... )

3. If you need support for your estate needs in the future... the concierge support will definitely provide the coverage. (Pro Basic)
Yes. Totally agree on this point.
Estate owner of my land, Crucial Armitage has excellent service for the past year that I owned his parcels. He provide better service than LL, if I owned the same size parcels.

4.You can make political statement of *Downgrade to basic* (Pro Basic)
Yes. lol
No, I just dont want to pay more money to LL.

5.Keep your 512 sqm land and provide for homeless friend...(Pro Prem)
No.
My friends are all adults who can provide for themselves.
If any of my friends need a place for whatever the reason, They can come to my land anytime, and stay as long as they need. I have done it without question. And it will always be like that.

The most without premium did not feel they were restricted of not having premium.
I did not hear really strong , convincing argument from *Pro Premium* side, except one person swear the support option worth the money. ... even that person said, it was useless about inventory issues, I should mention.

probably this is the only post I go crossover into my RL situation.
