Raidbots and the Patreon Service Fee

TL;DR: You'll pay slightly more, you'll get slightly more

Hello folks!

Patreon is making some changes to how pledges work that will result in your monthly pledge being slightly higher (probably in the range of $0.30 - $0.50 per month) as a way to make sure creators get a bigger share of pledges.

In light of the new service fee, I've increased iteration and simulation time limits by 10% for patrons at $3 or higher.

Specifically, the new limits are:

You may need to reload the site to get the update.

Also, I do have some plans on allowing even higher limits in the future. I'm hoping to tackle the root technical issues in the next couple of months. So keep an eye around here, the blog, or the Raidbots Discord whenever I actually have some progress to share!

For reference, here is the specific information from Patreon:

Loving the tool. I do hope you'll find a way to improve the scalability of the system especially given how BFA requires much more iterations than Legion with the messy Azerite gear system.

You are awesome! Thank you!

i'm a big fan of you <3

I'm a french gamer and i'm disappointed because impossible to connect on Raidbots. I paid 6 dollars and i 'm waiting....

Sending you a private message to get account info and whatnot to get you sorted out!

It can take up to 30 minutes. Looks like your user got bumped up about 15 minutes ago!

Seems they changed their mind and aren't implementing that: <a href="https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/">https://blog.patreon.com/not-rolling-out-fees-change/</a> ^^

Not at this time. I hope to solve the technical problems at some point but don't have an ETA right now

Is it possible to get more then 2.6m iteration cap? :P

Legendary only ever got a small bump to queue priority. Iterations and time limit have been the same as Epic for quite a while (so the recent changes to Epic apply the same way to the "legacy" legendary patrons). I unpublished that reward months ago as it didn't seem valuable/supportable. I _think_ I messaged legendary patrons when I changed it but it's possible I intended to and just totally flaked. You should probably drop down to Epic tbh (unless you're just happy at supporting me at the higher level). If you weren't aware of the changes, PM me and I can refund you.

Do legendary patreons not get anything specific?

I would recommend checking out donorbox.org. I saw a video from Lon Seidman on Youtube (lon.tv) about him moving to donorbox as suggested means of support because of the new structure that penalizes the small donor by super high fees based on percentage (donate $1 its a 38% fee, donate $5 its a 10% fee). I am rethinking my support based upon this decision since it is automatic and will not require an opt-in from donors smacks of over-reaching control. In US we do not pay the credit card fees directly it is a fee charged to the merchant not customer for the ease and security of the payment, if a merchant doesn't want to pay the fee they can choose not take that form of payment, they accept it because it gives the merchant more payment security and customers more options to pay which leads to more customer purchases.

At first, I didn't get what the real world changes are that Patreon was doing but now that I do, I'm super appreciative of what you're doing in response to the Patreon changes. Thanks for your work on Raidbots and thanks for looking after your supporters!
