Changes in October.
🕑 Added 2020-09-13 14:42:13 +0000 UTCHi everyone.
First of all apologies for the slow start to the month. As some of you might have seen on twitter my doggo was not well the past few days so I've been looking after him. Good news he is getting back to his normal self :)
Towards the end of August I asked for some feedback on how I can improve Patreon for you. As much as I'm sure you all want 2 attires a month again, the trouble is as more of you signed up that became less and less feasible to offer.
1 issue with offering only 1 attire a month is Tag Teams. I am considering starting a tier to allow for more attires if it's for a tag team. However the issue is making it fairly priced. For example a tag teams like the FTR or The Young Bucks both wear almost identical attires so you could argue it's only really 1 attire for both. However tag teams like The New Day each have unique (and time consuming) attires to make. So it's difficult to choose how to move forward.
Another option in the feedback was for a DIY tier where I simply just provide the logos for an attire. Not 100% sure how this could work. I have had a similar requests from someone who is on XBOX and someone that just wanted the logos for a figure. The reason I'm not sure about this is because I would still need to pretty much make the attire to make sure everything fits together in game.
1 change I do want to make in October is with pricing. As some of you might know I'm from the UK and all the Tiers on Patreon are listed in $. When you consider the exchange rate, Patreon's cut and the amount of hours it takes to make some of your requests I'm only making £3-4. So 1 way to slightly improve this is to get rid of the exchange rate. Patreon recently updated to allow pricing in £ and € and I'd like to switch to my native currency. This would mean for example the $7 tier would become £7 which according to the exchange rate today is about $8.96.
However the issue with this is that it requires me to delete all of my active Tiers. Essentially all you would have to do if you are happy with the change is to simply sign up again in October to the new tiers. I'll delete the current tiers a few days before the end of the month so no one should be charged at the beginning of October.
Anyway that enough from me. Let me know what you all think. If you happy with those plans or not and any other idea you can think of.

Why not do an additional charge for Tag teams? Like if they have the One CAW Slot do an additional charge for the second if it requires alot of different logos.
