fact?
from all the members who have said on this thread they were happy to do this, in an earlier post cant remember which one someone said about a small minoritory spoiling it for themselves apparently refering to DBD bookers .
so which is it a small minoiroty or the same group making endless complaints
The Issue I dealt with is whether they got a lot of complaints, not the % of members those complaints come from. It is fact they got a lot of complaints, DVC has also said so in their explanation. I believe in this situation the % isn't especially applicable but you can disagree if you like. In my business we deal with every complaint and if there are repeated complaints about a given system, location, person; we make changes PERIOD. We're the industry leader in the SE and one of the top 10 HMO's in the US each and every year and the only one that's been in the top 10 every year while holding premium increases to roughly half the national average. Basically, if you stay the same or don't improve, you get left behind. On a related note, one of the leading models currently in vogue for making changes is to come up with a quick idea, make the change then change again as needed rather than analyze it to death and get everybody's input. I personally don't subscribe to that approach but will admit if you get too much input you rarely get a consensus and usually don't get anything done.
why?
why not say those that travel furthest/ stay longer / most in a party
I've said those that stay longer could get a priority, within the guidelines we've discussed. The others have no real bearing other than to come up with absurd examples which I do not believe are applicable or comparable. This isn't an issue where we're beating around possible changes, this is a change that has happened and I believe is here for a long time though likely with other adjustments, we'll see. I guess the ultimate question that many here have to ask themselves, given all the complaining about things that might or might not be, is whether DVC is a system you want to own. If I felt DVC simply decided to make changes on a whim for no reason with no input and I truly believed they did so in such a way as to make it truly unfair, I'd sell plain and simple. Now I'm as willing as the next person (and more than most) to try to affect change within a system if I don't agree with it or don't like the way it's done but this seems deeper for some. If you get down to it, some here are simply questioning both the intelligence and member centered orientation that I believe are things that have drawn many members. The bottom line is if I felt as you and many others seem to, I'd formulate a specific plan to bail out. To be clear, I'm not saying if you don't like it, sell, but rather that the attitude and feelings of some here call into question DVC's integrity, at least in their eyes and I'd definitely sell if I felt that way.
This is the part of your statement(and many other members here seem to agree) that I don't see as being factual. There is no proof yet that the new system will cause a heartache on anyone's plans. I have to see proof that indeed members are cut out of making the reservation they wanted due to this policy. If indeed that happens, then I will grant you and everyone else the right to say to me SEE I TOLD YOU SO! I will then support your position to get the policy changed, but only then.
I'll go a few steps further, if or when there are such post, my view will not change, even if it is my reservation that is affected. Why, because I feel it's an appropriate and needed change that is good for the system and the members as a whole. The truth is, if some are accurate, it will affect me directly in a negative way.
