I've had to update NMS every few days and Stardew around 2-3 times a month (around 200mods in total) I've found the new popup to be far less intrusive than most make it be/sound. You can either just accept it and get to playing your modded game, or not. Doubtful it's going away anytime soon.

I admire your patience. Too bad we are forced to get used to an ill-intentioned annoyance, right now I don't feel up to it.

 

 

 

It's NOT ill intentioned, there are people here who have been using the Nexus for FREE for 10 - 12 years, and never have and never will pay, it costs money to keep the nexus online, unfortunately out of 18 million members, around only 186,000 actually pay for premium, while some people pay nothing at all.

So, now, to keep using Nexus for free, you have to be slightly inconvenienced, and that's a lot less than the Nexus is inconvenienced because of people not paying.

 

It's a fair trade.

 

It is ill-intentioned obviously. The message is clear, and you see it yourself from your comment: "If you don't pay, FU, here is slow download speed, and annoying popups until you do." Slow speed I could understand, but timed popups for each file are inexcusable.

 

@1ae0bfb8 Its not that, it get very tiresome and annoying after a while to see after each file "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download" "slow download, fast download". Its not about a protest, its about getting sick of always seeing it and clicking on it, for no reason, just because they wanted to punish us non paying sinners.

 

Its like, I get it, its slow, no need to tell me a million times and make me click on slow each and every time. Its ridiculous.

 

i get the same page, the same issue - its all on you. if you really don't like it, a solution is available to you. if you want this to go away because it gives you so much pain and suffering in your life, then invoke the solution. if you don't want to resolve it with the available solution then there is no more to be said about it, simple, yes?

Is this how you go along in life? Just take it from the man with no comment, no protest? Its not like this was a necessary change, the site worked fine for 12 years+ without it, it was a change made to annoy people into buying premium. I can at least complain about it, and its a justified complaint. Its just an annoying, ill-intentioned, unneeded change to the site.

It could easily be much worse, like daily download quotas like some file sharing sites have. If you are min maxing cost and ease of use what they are doing is balanced. Its basically 68-70$ for lifetime premium, if ads bother you that much it may be time to buy in. I may do that in a few months as I worm my way back to modding and fixing my budget and I am a limited income of 700ish a month, all in all at least they have a reasonable lifetime plan.

If this would happen a lot of people would quit modding. I don't think that mod creators would be thrilled about that either. Free mods on a not so free site.

Alot of people say that but no they would not, if I have learned anything people go with the flow more than fight it, I mean look at how bad the tipple AAA industry is. Plus people don't give up hobbies easily so they would go else where but where would they go? Creating, refining, expanding and offering a secure service is not easy nor is it cheap, a couple more clicks per download is not going to matter, if it did they would have changed it already.

i think there's way more to be concerned with in the world today than an extra click on a webpage, which will go away if you apply the solution.

it's all about priorities.

you have a solution. it's up to you whether you use it or not, but if you don't use it, then you can't really cry about it. well you can, but you know.......

The "Slow Download Speed" you mention is 1/mbs for non-paying users that use Ad Blockers, and 2/mbs for non-paying users that don't use ad blockers.

The speed cap was RAISED.

Downoad speed for non-paying members has been the same FOR YEARS.

 

What's ridiculous is using a site for free for 12 years, then getting mad when they have to ad a pop-up to try and get people to become paying members, so they can stay online.

They didn't "have" to do it, like they didn't for 12 years so far. They chose to do it, in a very rude way. I don't want to pay premium because I am a simple casual user, always was. I usually follow some guide once a few months/years to enjoy some Skyrim/Oblivion/Fallout, and that's it. I never cared about download speed, I get it that its slow to save money, and I don't complain about that, never did.

 

Am I one of the users that should just quit? Is the site transforming into something meant only for serious modders that invest a lot of time for the perfect mod lists? With this change it sure feels that way.

How do you know they didn't "Have to do it"?

Considering they have 18 million members, that download and using bandwidth, while only around 186,000 are helping the Nexus pay the bills, they needed to do something to increase the amount of Premium Members.

You seem to have a weird definition of what is considered "rude"

To me, using a service for 12 or more years and then getting mad that the service is now inconveniencing you for 5 seconds per download is pretty rude, as if it's the Nexus that owes YOU something for using their site for free.

 

I paid for lifetime, 12 years ago, a one time payment.

I've left Nexus for a year or two at a time, but the one time lifetime payment was worth it

 

If you're a simple casual user that only follows a guide once every few months or years, then the download popup should be of absolutely no concern for you, because you'll only be seeing it every few months or years.

If you think its such an understandable change, try it. Make a test account without premium and try to download 100 mods, with no addblock. You would think you were on a scam site, with some adds even blocked by the antivirus. Then maybe you would be able to empathize a little with my complaint. Just criticizing me is not helpful to the website, I am at least giving my feedback, while others that are bothered by it stay silent, and just get used to it, give up and pay or abandon modding. You show the mentality that seems obvious from the ones who took the decision to add the "slow fast" extra click, that we free users are the enemy, we are the rude ones, the evil greedy ones, that don't want to pay up monthly to get free mods. This sounds like the start of death of modding, if more and more measures like this would be implemented on nexus and other sites like moddb, until they become unusable.

 

Its unbelievable how people can think that these kinds of hostile changes are defensible in any way. To get monthly payments from users the best approach is to convince them that its the nice thing to do for the great service you are getting, not annoy them into submission, with slow speed, dangerous adds, and useless clicks. Its crazy that this is considered acceptable.
