aleco247 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 So this topic started din another thread and I feel like it needs it's own. Donating money to charity is good and right now the big one is ALS charity. I don't care if they do the ice bucket or not, but they could have an event were a certain percentage of plat bought would go to charity over a certain amount of time. For example, like 20% of all plat bought within a week would be donated, or 50% in one day. We, the community, could really make a difference in helping the cause. It would also make DE way better than they already are. So, what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nurmetya Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) They also need to pay employee's, bills and make sure the shareholders are happy. Do you think that they can do all that? I'm all for charity but it needs to be done with enough of a financial foothold to be able to afford it. edit - Oh dear seems I was ninja'd well played lad.

If you don't have anything nice to say, then p*ss off Oh I could of resorted to childish name calling and internet tough guy comments. But instead I was listing things that cost money to do. Instead of making Baseless comments on how the work they do costs nothing or assuming that I know the amount of money that DE brings in and could or could not give to some Charity. Maybe you should take your own advice. Edited August 19, 2014 by OniDarkClown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherIcarus Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 And we already have proof that even if DE were to do a charity event people would hate them for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People hate everything, even donating money to a good cause. I think that more people would like it than hate it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm not hating it, I'm just concerned that DE may have to stop/delay things for a few days, although I don't mind Idk about the others as long as the game still goes online.

Don't look at things negatively, it leads to a crappy life. Helping out a good cause is a nice, but doing so when you can't afford to thus causing yourself (and potentially others) problems is not. Edit: Just going to toss this out there, I don't really care about charities unless they're benefiting me. Yeah, I'm that kind of guy.

That's true, If things go slow for just one day, all hell breaks loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a "token" idea for doing something good. Could be anything. Edited August 19, 2014 by Lactamid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
