Serorusly you want too punish people who buy gp by not giving them the same chance of getting GP from the daily freebie? that isn't how you retain paying customers.....
since they already BUY gp, then why would they need to get FREE gp? most of the people who buy GP do it with some regularity. when I have spare money I'll buy GP, but I don't think big spenders like Nocifer or AFluffyBunny need FREE GP, it can always be a free GP scaled to how often you buy, the less you buy, the slightly more likely you are to get those 2 free GP
notice the part where I say when I have spare money I buy GP.
also, do you realize how RARE getting GP is in the daily reward? I've only ever heard of 2 or 3 people getting it in the almost 2 years that this game has been going. all I am suggesting, is tweaking it slightly to drop more often, give less GP, to the people who can't or won't. because maybe that GP they got from the daily reward will entice them to spend some money to actually BUY some because it's like hey, dropping that shitty planet was kind of nice, now I can get something better.
One or Two GP is every other month really won't make any kind of difference to anyone,

as I mentioned we all make choices with our spending, it is WON'T not CAN'T. If you won't spend money on a game why should the game give you stuff for free? Would not Free GP makes the same difference it makes you too, Maybe it pushes them over just enough to dump one more crummy planet?
don't assume that everyone who doesn't buy GP are people who WON'T, there are a lot of people who love this game and would love to help support it but simply can't be cause they can't afford it. if I had the money right now I would buy GP, but I'm kind of in the hole for money right now.
and I think the main difference between your argument and mine is this:
CC Player hears that there is now a better chance of getting GP in the daily reward, so he stops buying because that free GP is only given to NON GP buying people - your argument
what I am saying is this
GP gets tweaked to where it is a bit less rare, rewards less GP, to NON GP buying people, so as to entice them to start buying GP if they can, GP buyers will still continue to buy GP because 1 or 2 every other month or so is NOT even CLOSE to sustaining their GP needs.
People who CC regularly usually buy energy refills and buy the mission planets, which at a minimum would take
860 GP to have your mission planets, that is about 100$ to spend on two planets, now, what difference does 1 or 2 GP every other month or so make to the people who buy GP?
I have my mission exotic and mission dyson


and for me, only 4 of the terraformers came from TO Carriers for my exotic
I also used GP to rename my dyson, it was originally Maira, and I didn't think that sounded all that well for a dyson.
I know that over the year or so I've played this game I've spent about 100$ and I also know that 1 or 2 GP wouldn't mean #&$# to me because what is that supposed to by me? a spy probe? those are more common than sand on a beach.
The free GP idea has been rehashed so many times it's not funny, there were ideas about 1 a level, one every ten levels, one every 25 levels. just all kinds of ideas, this one would be the least hurtful to dan, and over enough time people could dump those trash planets they colonzied as a noob.
