B0baganooshThat's already a thing they call step-up.

You can't use EVGA Bucks for Step-Up
Beside of that, Step-Up selection of cards very limited. Also you have to pay shipping both way and Sales Tax based on full amount of new card. Not mention separate queue for step-up. Not a good option in this situation.
 

B0baganooshMy idea was to help people with multiple users in one household who are not scalpers as well as the tide-over card buyers.

Those users may want similar series cards, not different.

I mentioned the limitation on step-up, albeit in an edit, but it was edited within a minute of posting the original comment...so I tried lol.
 
Item two there, yes, I understand, but what I suggested was what would be considered a compromise or "middle ground" that could effectively meet the desired change they are after, but still make most* people happy with the minimal change to the original rules (*any change will still impact some negatively and others positively, as I also said before, so I shouldn't have to put this note here, but you'll act like I didn't say it before so...here's your note).

I know it's hard to believe but there are folks in this world that do things to help others. Before money and greed ran rampant, folks bound together in towns and on farms to combine their skillsets for the greater good. It's the most fundamental trait of human society that has allowed us to evolve up the evolutionary chain.
 
I would even implore you, wholeheartedly, to give it a try. The joy that comes from helping another cannot be understated. 

If you only knew... I help friends all the time when in need, I was able to get a PS5 for a friend the other day. I wouldn't be upset if I wouldn't have been able to get it because I had already got one somewhere else... I would do anything for my friends and family.
 
I'm not sure why you and some other jump to conclusions and assume my whole response was blaming members of scalping/flipping... Use your brain for a minute, and re-read it. I was saying, I thought people were against scalpers. I wasn't saying everyone on EVGA and who have signed up in the queue are scalpers, but I can guarantee the odds are that some have done just that. If you or anyone else already had a chance at a card, and have already purchased one... why should you be more entitled to as many as you "signed" up for just because you "got in line" quicker... some people have to work. Some people didn't use multiple accounts etc. It's the same as when stores limit items to one per customer. Imagine if when best buy has GPU drops and they let the first person in line buy as many as they wanted because they were first in line, and there response was, it's ok guys, I'm buying these for my friends.
 
How else should they do it, how is this not a good thing, why is this a bad thing? You want to help a friend? You could have told them to join the queue or wait in line, or if you prefer to give the card to a friend, hop back in the end of the line bud.

Yes, enewt and the others here will tell them that EVGA didn't bother telling them directly (via email) something that would have informed them to change their buying strategy, and instead let them linger in hope until it becomes far too late for them to get a card.
It's not just bad CS, it's morally wrong and, frankly, cowardly.

I agree with it being bad CS, morally wrong, but I don't think I have enough information to suggest that it was cowardly. I think it is entirely possible that it was just careless.

What's your theory newt? 

The worst thing about this change is this thread (once our salt levels stabilize) is dead.  The tracking, spreadsheets, the very joy/agony of the day to day is now toast.  EVGA has taken away the rah-rah of their true fans.  Enewt, myself, and others appear on the first 5 pages of this thread.  What a dang ride, and now it is over for reasons that don't add up to me...
 
It is like the Packers decided to remove all season ticket holders and distribute the seats to people who want to attend their first football game...  When the "cool" wears off, and the newbies move on, you've effectively already told the die-hards that you care more about growing your reach, than dancin with who brung ya (to flip enewts argument against him lol).
 
Edit: Wow, just read the update.  I am shocked.

The solution is very simple. The next time EVA open the queue (if they ever do it for 3000 Super), all the good samaritans should ask all the people they saved from the ignominy of not owning a new brand 3000 GPU, to return the favour and spam the queue until they get 1 for each favour they made, so they can finally trash the 3000 placeholding the GPU they wish and to distribute the scraps to those in greatest need of course.
However, I get the feeling that many will feel legitimated to do what they claim others are doing. Spam the queue with fake mails until they get what they feel they deserve for some divine right or meritocracy. Resulting in a huge hypocrisy.

I made a request in june.. anyone with a june entry get a card yet?
Wow nvm i see some are still waiting a year later.

So I made a guess on the other thread, but does this put us at version 2.1 or 2.1b or 3.0, or what for the queue? (lol)

They continue make things complicated...
One card per customer totally fine if purchases made before 10/4/2021 will not count. That it. So simple.

Can you imagine signing up for a card last October and then coming into this forum a year later and trying to figure out everything that is going on and all the changes they made

If you signed up last October and you havent gotten a notify yet, this change is probably going to be the best thing thats happened for you.  It literally means you are probably going to get a card much faster now.

It is the Queue Announcement Anniversary. I couldn't bring myself to say "Happy...QAA" because this is hardly an anniversary worth celebrating.
 
As a reminder, EVGA changed the Queue rules yesterday. In short, if you have purchased a 30 series card from the EVGA queue, your remaining queue registrations are deprioritized until others in the queue have purchased a 30 series card from the Queue. If I had my druthers, I would have made the change prospectively -- not retroactively -- so as to afford those EVGA account holders the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether to click the “buy” button for a lesser card than their preferred 30 series gpu.  Instead EVGA has left it for “Jensen to sort them out.” 
 
It is Titanic Tuesday. EVGA_JacobF has completed his Twitch stream for the day. Hopefully he is picking up his writing implements and preparing to draw us all like his French girls. (Narrator: For the foreseeable future, expect Titanic Tuesdays to be solely about the drawing of Queue Purchase Virgins.)
 
Best of luck!

May your remaining wait be shorter than you anticipate; it is already longer than you deserve.
 
Best of luck!   twene  

This update is now the roadmap for choosing which 2 stay, and which ones are kicked off the island.

Good change. Good on Evga for listening. Definitely makes me happy.
