I love EVGA and customer service and by no means am I speaking negatively about the company, this is just my personal thoughts....and my rant beings :)
This is crazy, Evga says thay want more cards for gamers but isnt that LHR is for?
By cutting the queue down do you honestly think cards are going to fall into "so called gamers hands"? you will just get a influx of new users and google numbers.
I have joined many queues only because EVGA pours more inventory into Bestbuy, Microcenter, Amazon, etc ( which truly is bot city ) and no human stands a chance than its own site. This is just a personal opinion as i see weekly drops with them and not on evgas own step up queue or email queue system.
I joined up for queues back in Sept 2020 and its still stuck there after 1 entire year. Hell I join a queue 9 seconds after launch and here I am 4 months later and you still have not fulfilled 9 seconds!!!
Why launch models that you cant fulfill in a reasonable time even with a shortage? Why even allow customers to sign up for a card that has a backlog for over a year?
Lets be honest EVGA is just trying to make there own queue system better so they can say '' our customers dont wait that long for a card '' but would that really matter in the end if you cant produce every model you launch? To top it off why punish customers that are just trying to get the first card they are able to get their hands on? I mean look at EVGA B stock cards, I see nothing being done about to stopping bots and scalpers when they drop weekly.
If Evga ever reads this, the only way to stop bots and scalpers is to either limit orders to each household maybe 1-2 cards a month ( like zotac ). maybe give people the chance to link facebook to their account for human verification. Ban Ip address who try to spam your site? Why is there no Captcha for your B stock items? For the love of god remove the who xxx post amount to become an élite member. I personally feel this is more of an attack on customers than bots and scalpers, basically from what I am reading EVGA is saying " Hey pick 2 cards that you MIGHT get before super series or the rtx 4000 comes out, May the odds be forever in your favor ".
