Starlevels

The Starpointing system, the only thing that hadn't altered over the Stardoll ages, replaced by an ugly, eye-sore of a Starleveling monstrosity.
Royalty Diamonds and Superstar Stars pushed down underneath our icons so ugly, horrid, tacky looking crowns could take their place, broadcasting to the Stardollie World exactly what you are whether you like it or not.
On June the 14th 2012, Stardoll "Leveled up", replacing the Starpointing with a new "up to date" way to earn points called "Starleveling" where instead of earning a certain amount of points to get an item you now have to reach a certain level.
Personally, I don't like this new system and absolutely dispise both the green bar thing that shows our progess and the crown(I WANT MY PWETTY DIAMOND BACK!!! D<)there was nothing wrong with the Starpointing system, in my opinion and Stardoll should have left it alone.
Before I end up on a rant, let's move on.
I asked the club "Stardoll Royalty" what their thoughts on this new system were:-


I just wish we could see how many starpoints we had and the crown wasn't on our frame thing or at least have a different color for it. I would like diamond back.

I have mixed feelings.
I suppose it's easier for younger children to understand, and even for teenagers, a quick look shows you how 'high up' you are.
I like the fact you can see starpoint hair in beauty parlour, and apparently it'll become easier to get starpoints and level up.
On the other hand, the design is ugly. Yellow and green? (yucky) It was also a big dissapointment (sp?) that they got rid of the royalty diomand, it was a lovely classy picture next to our doll!
I think there should be different crown designs for each rank (non ss, ss, Royalty, Staff) or at least a nicer design!
I don't think stardoll will get rid of the levels system, so we better get used to it....

I dont mind it, but it feels like a competition to get higher levels than your friends, whereas with starpoints, it wasn't on show to everyone beside your medoll in an ugly crown!

It seems as if Stardoll has made it so that we're competing against each other to get the highest level. I also think it's completely unnecessary that it has to appear everywhere next to our username. It's an eyesore.
But what really annoyed me was that it replaced the place of the royalty diamonds. They were pretty.
I also just miss the starpoints system because it was simpler in my opinion, say if you had 4000 starpoints and then the next day you got 12 you would have 4012. Now, it's all confusing because you don't even know how many starpoints you have, just levels.
The good thing that came out of it was that you can get rewards earlier, but this is unfair to older members who have had to work very hard to get rewards and now it's much easier for everyone else.

I think Stardoll should make a new design for the crowns, those horrid things should never be apart of stardoll, nor any other site. Please consider making a new design.
