I don't really disagree with this change because it was becoming far too easy for some to level up. Those original requirements were set years ago and a lot has changed since then with new offer categories and external offers.

RaveAddiction Rave I think you are personalizing this and just think you cant do it but that doesnt really mean anything :\ I mean its even the same for some US members who think diamond and legend requirements are set too high. First of all honors arent made to be something everyone can achieve but earned from the work the member has done for the site. A similar issue I can remember about members not liking the amount of refs needed for them as well just since they dont think they can get to it. That is personalizing the honor to your own satisfaction. Honors are meant to be something you work to getting but if you cant get it, you cant and if you can you can because you earned it. The reason this has changed was to make everything fair. The UK now has just as much ways of earning now that the externals were added (matomy, USamp, peanutlabs and others) along with the recurring tasks AND daily surveys. Dont focus about how the US has "more offers" but focus about what you have to earn overall and overall you (UK) have just the same amount as earning as us (US). Offers have nothing really to do about this change since as you havent noticed alot of members are earning the most (both US and UK) are not from the offers but from EXTERNALS. Even I myself do not do offers with the $1350 i made here most of my earnings have come from the daily surveys and tasks. UK has just about the same amount of daily surveys too and they are an excellent way of earning. How alot of people are earning lately are from these vs the offers so it doesnt really have anything to do with what you stated. Just because you cant earn alot with what you have doesnt mean someone else cant because it is possible. What you were doing is comparing and I think on that level its not fair to group who do the best with what they have (since they are working for it) with those who arent doing as well. Its like comparing students with C's and D's to A students or with anything in life O,o All the material you need is here but you just need to work to get it. You can earn alot (just as much as US) from the new things added here which is why the change was made but if you cant do it that doesnt mean its not possible for you! or for alot of others. Just earn it and put in the work it because always pays off and thats for anything you do. Its made to be fair to everyone. Maybe if you get there youll see how rewarding it is to reach it and realize it was not as hard as you thought it was before when you werent really trying. I know i felt that way when I thought getting elite was impossible but now im diamond ^*^ and very close to legend.

Guess this was posted before the message was sent out. Members wouldn't be demoted from the honor level they have now, and for those that haven't read the message yet, you can also send in a ticket to the admin team if you was supposed to be promoted within the next two weeks which makes it pretty fair for members.

hm i agree it was easy like 50% of the US need to level up but if the CA/UK only have, lets say 75% of the offers then they should only need to have 75% what the US need to level up not the 100%.

Well said, Abby :thumbup:

My point of view as well, and a lot of others.
This honor level change was discussed a lot in the suggestions forum by members and it was suggested by a platinum member. The admin are just listening to what our concerns are and making it fair and challenging for everyone. Like I've mentioned in my earlier post, keep in mind that the requirements for most honor levels were set years ago when less offer opportunities were available to the UK and CA. Many, many new offer groups have been added since. External offers (now a great source to earn from) did not count towards honor levels when first introduced and now they do.
