Back in March I had blogged about my goal to get spotlight only to find out that once I reached level 26 I would not be allowed to get spotlight. Last week it was announced that level 26+ would be able to bid on spotlights on wednesday for a thursday spotlight. What they really mean is that you can bid but unless your level 30+...you won't get it. Yeah, you read that right. One of the requirements to reach level 32 is to get the spotlight after (insert date here..i believe its different depending on when you level). There are users begging for fubucks when they have well over 500mil banked. That should give you an idea how much the spotlight will be going for. How do I know? If you click on their level bar that shows how much points are left until they level it will take you to their level requirements page. Flip through the levels. One of the requirements is to have 25 mil banked in order to level. It shows you how much fubucks that user currently has. I won't be shocked when the spotlight is going for a billion. If your one of the people that didn't get to have the spotlight because of their hidden rule about the spotlight. Don't get your hopes up on getting it any time soon, you're still the odd fu out.
If they are going to play it this way then they should either:
a) Change the rule, instead of getting cut off of daily bidding once you reach level 26 make it level 28. I don't imagine it would be that hard for them to make it so if you are level 26+ and have had the spotlight already that you can't have it again.
or
b) Give level 26-28 their own day to bid that the level 30+ can't. At least then those of us that didn't get a shot at the spotlight before we reached level 26 can have a shot now.
