At the risk voicing an unpopular opinion, I have to wonder why anyone would respond to complaints in THIS particular thread, since by its very title it is a thread dedicated to venting. That's like going out into the rain and complaining about getting wet. To me, this just defies logic.

Yes, there has been a lot of upset comments posted lately. A lot of negative views shared, and a lot of individual threads started dedicated to this very thing. But if everyone was to vent in one specific area then why can't that be tolerated? Providing ToS, rules, laws, and civility is adhered to, isn't venting in the one spot a good thing? Isn't it better to have a majority of the fires contained to one area rather than battling the flames as they pop up all over the forum? And while I know this thread isn't going to stop everyone from posting their own threads completely or even stop the negativity, it may lessen the instances of them. It might even be making people feel a little better to get their frustrations out here amongst others who feel the same way. What's the harm in it?

If people are sick of reading such posts, why come here to this specific thread in the first place? What do they expect to gain beyond further frustration? Is it the sheer thrill of arguing? A need to convert others to their way of thinking? To prove themselves right and others wrong? I just don't get it. 

People venting about people venting in a thread about venting... 🙄

So now that I've effectively and undoubtedly offended someone, fire away.

( And yes I'm fully aware I'm venting about people venting about people venting in a thread about venting! *my aching head* XD ) 

This basically covers everything I've been thinking... Well said

I doubt there exists something as a "fair distribution" - they should just have waited until enough were ready - the damage is done and irreversible - now they have to deal with what they caused

You are probably right. Can just hope they pay attention to all this and learn from it.

I'm really tired of waiting for a linden home.  I abandoned my old one in April and by the time I had cleared it, the new ones were all gone and I've not been successful since.  I've been premium for 9 years but no priority and you are in a lottery with those who join today!  Sighs.  

Yea, and that's in my oppinion very badly handled by LL. Instead of this whole drama storm, they should have distributed them fairly. Longer the premium member, higher on the list of getting a new one. It really baffles me, the way LL has handled this... They should have seen this coming.

You really don't see the issue with telling someone, anyone, to "get back to work"? 

You're one of those people who really enjoys making servers and cashiers cry, aren't you? And every time you demand to speak to the manager you begin with "As a paying customer..."

If you're unable to see how that is rude, nothing I say will change your mind. 

No I do not see the issue with that, and I also dunno how that auto refresh stuff works as I am not all that tech savy. And I think it's very wrong that someone who has been premium member a week for all I know ?? can abuse that to get ahead, while 7 years or longer loyal premium members are stuck waiting. I do not think that's fair, and I will speak up my mind, and I hope LL pay attention.

Am doing whatever I can to keep LL on their toes. As a paying customer. I really do not see the issue with that.

i love being homeless its just so fantastic 

I know right... You'd think 7 years of premium membership meant something, but apparently not... I enjoy the raised costs of my premium membership however.

[NO Linden Home?? Please Vent Here!!]

I am beyond dissapointed myself with how Linden Lab is handling this. I keep seeing all this hype about new homes, and yet I cannot get one. I've been a premium member since 2012 !!! And I have been sat here patiently for months now waiting for a new updated premium home. Meanwhile I just love reading about all the stuff you have been doing to pamper the community within these new regions... How about you get to work and let the rest of us have one of those homes too? Abbandoned my old premium home months ago so I could go claim a new one... Still waiting for that to happen... Unbelievable...

Of course, it didn't take you long, to raise the monthly costs for my premium membership... Any chance I get what I'm paying fore soon?

When can we expect more of the new homes available ?

in short, verify is done between paypal your bank/cc account, and you, action is made by Paypal on your request, you can''t start this by your bank.
If you didn't do that, your paypal is not verified, and by that, declined for payments by LL.

Thank you! Have been unable to figure out how on earth to do that. Will try that and hopefully that should do the trick.

That link needs to be highlighted and put onto SL billing info page! Just saying

 

Yep, this worked! Thank you so much

is your paypal verified ? because "just" adding a bankaccount doesn't verify it .. seeing you mention it's only a few days you tried to add that. Normally the verification will need a couple of days already, and mostly working days i think.

I dunno. I looked around for an option to verify it both on PayPal end and in my net bank but couldn’t find any such option

I recommend PayPal over Skrill.  A number of people have had problems recently with Skrill...not on LL's end, but on Skrill's end.

I recommend paypal too, but LL don't accept my paypal when I try using it...

[Payments getting declined]

Oki so a small update should anyone else have this same issue, using Skrill works, so when first and second normal payment options don't work for mysterious reasons, Skrill is good for an alternative solution when all other fails. Cuz apparently 2 different payment options isn't enough... You need 3

Yes was a misstype in the hurry. I know it's obviously not your guide

Am trying live chat

Visa Electron (non-U.S. Residents only)

That's what I've always been using, and it worked just 3 days ago to purchased lindens, it worked also few days before that for my premium membership. But since it for whatever reason isn't working today or yesterday, despite my bank saying everything is fine, I tried all your guids on set up paypal, which also don't work.

The system was changed well over a year ago.

My card was renewed about half a year ago, and has worked just fine up until this weekend, and as mentioned, I tried using paypal too. Am also waiting for a reply on the ticket I submitted to LL

[Payments getting declined]

I've been using this payment methood for all of my 12 years in SL tho....

[Payments getting declined]

I had premium membership for years, using same debit card. Over the last half a year tho, at random the payments to LL get declined. I've had to update the billing info over and over (putting in same card) to mostly get it working again. But now for two days it keep declining. My bank says everything is fine, and the issue is on LL's end, or whoever handles the money transactions. But attempting to get this working myself, I tried using paypal instead, because paypal works just fine for me. Only that SL again, does not work properly with it. I have linked my bank account to my paypal account, like SL says I need to. I have followed the guide on SL website, on how to set up paypal for SL, and it still doesn't work...

Just FIY, my debit card worked just fine with SL few days ago when they billed me for my premium membership, and a few days after that for buying a few extra linden dollars. But now it doesn't. Anyone else have such issues, or any ideas how to sort it.

I'm to the point where I debate on maybe open a Skrill account too just to see if that will work...
