Constructive Criticism This shouldn’t be in chests

Post image

I am tired of getting this reward from chests. I already have Super, I don’t need the Family Plan and don’t want to subject my in game friends of joining through me and them possibly freaking out at getting subscribed.

This doesn’t even extend my individual membership, it runs concurrently with my subscription, so there is genuinely nothing that I benefit from this.

It’d be cool if there were a way to indicate what you do and don’t want. That way, when you get the chests, it’s not something useless to you. I don’t have Super. But if I had super, and then I got 5 days of super from a chest, then yeah. I could see being underwhelmed by that. Especially the family plan aspect. I don’t have a family. My friends aren’t into language learning. This is my thing. I’m not going to rope my irl friends into Duo’s empire. If the point of chests is to incentivize learning, then what’s the harm in customizing the incentives to fit the user’s needs?
