So will level 7ever happen?

I don't believe it for a second! I'll bet she confused it to mean her next is (whatever, but not level 7).... even on my page, although it says you're next level is 7 (mystery) it doesn't tell me how many... only that I have 4 combs to my next key, which btw, with 2 campaigns just underdway, I'll be there in a very short time... only to be told, "level 7 is just a little ways away" LOL

I got that message about 75 HC ago...

I thought it was a bit odd too but was hoping that maybe she was just some sleeper out there that was sneaking up the ladder. When I tried to locate her on FB, I couldn't find her and I haven't replied to her post yet. Maybe I will just to see where she's at now.

I was mainly just curious since it's been so elusive.

I'll believe it only when news of a Level 7 comes from BzzAgent itself. Or when someone I trust says "Hey, I can see a Level 7 and it's called Halleluja Bee!"

I sure hope it happens, I would like to know that I am earning my way towards something....

This was posted over at SlickDeals. It's a question and response regarding the fictional Level 7. I edited out the agent's name.

Is there really a level 7? I know tons of agents and none are more than a 6! Fess up!

Hi BzzAgent ________,

Thanks for your email. You caught us red handed! There actually is no Level 7...yet!

We are in the process of ironing out the details of Level 7, so while it is not there yet, you are still working towards it even if you don't know exactly where it will be. But keep an eye out as Level 7 should be coming soon!

Thanks,

Jake
BzzAgent

Soon is such a relative term, isn't it? LOL!

Hmmm, seems like only a couple of years ago they promised Canadians that the BzzMap would be changed to include Canada soon. Wonder which will happen first?

They've had a year to think about the Level 7 question. Is it possible that stealth government agents have infiltrated the Hive just to slow things down and mess with our heads?

i think we should all start asking bzzagent about it. if there is enough interest from the bzzagents, then maybe they will work a little faster to develop level 7 and beyond. Just a bunch of general nice friendly emails where we ask what's up with level 7...
I sent one today since I did it a while back and they told me some exciting things were coming, if Bzzscapes was the excitement, then I am very disappointed.
Afterall we have quite a few people on this board that are awesome agents and bzzagent shouldn't ignore their loyal agents...

LOL that's an understatement!

i got a response...

"Hi BzzAgent briteasafirefly, Thanks for your email. Not to worry as we are aware that people are getting ready for a new BzzAgent level or 2 and we are working on getting that all figured out! While we are not quite ready to divulge a new level yet, keep an eye out as it should be available soon! Thanks, JakeBzzAgent"

well not soon enough probably...

Hmmm. I wonder if their definition of soon is the same as mine. That Canadian BzzMap has been coming soon for years.

For me a level 7...doesn't matter. I wasn't a bzz member long enough before Shitlola, so I am hardly into level 6 compared to some. I don't think its fair, but I guess I just have to deal.

seems at this point they need to go beyond 7 and on to 7, 8, 9, and 10

Why does everyone seem to think there will be anything special about a Level 7? Does a Level 6 now have a huge advantage over a Level 5? They may get their early invite a little earlier, but there's still no guarantee of getting in to the campaign. Besides, everyone will be a Level 7 in a bit just like almost everyone is a Level 6 now.

Probably true. But for people that are less then 20 combs into level 6 and some are like 40+ combs in (or so they say), I don't see how I can ever make that up.

I just assume that people higher into level 6 get things and by the time they get to me, there is nothing left.

I hate to break this to you, but there are people who are over 180 honeycombs in to Level 6. If you can bribe her to count them, Erin is really, really far into it.

<---Erin, trying to count her honeycombs

Way back when... Rebecca and I were told a few weeks early about what the Shaloha changes would be. We had to swear to not tell and we weren't the only ones in on it. Anyhow they wanted to see how people were going to react and I mentioned this very problem. Your advancement isn't in your own hands. Way too much of it depends on IF you get invited into campaigns. You can't do a post-survey if you don't get an invite. Plus, we all eventually move up into whatever the highest rank will be. It's not a matter of submitting more detailed reports or being more active in Bzzing.

i am slowly catching up to you ladies who are in level 6 and to me it doesn't seem fair for those of us who are way behind you to be catching up while you are standing still so to speak

I just don't really see much incentive being 30+ combs in anymore, sure I get the key that I can't use.....and I enjoy the new products. But I could use some more incentive for all that I do.

just hit your history button and it will show the total number of honey combs you have. i know someone who is over 150 combs, so that would be 124 past level 6

Damn! Is all I can say. I guess I will be level 6 forever. Bzz did a really poor job when they setup the new system.

i was looking at the set up of the levels the other day and they don't make a lot of sense to me. To get from solitary to carpenter bee/ level 2, you only need two combs. From carpenter bee to busy bee/level 3, you need 4. From busy bee to honey bee/level 4, you need 4. From honey bee to social bee/level 5, you need 6. From social bee to sweet bee/level 6, you need 9.

I know the idea is to keep agents wanting to advance, but thats only 25 combs to get to the current top. It could potentially take only a year to 2 years to reach the current top.
I think that there was a few more combs in each level would slow down the amount of people getting into the top. So they could restructure it for all new agents or for everyone and give something to current agents for losing status. Or they could make multiples tiers in the levels 6 and beyond. bzzagent got themselves into a mess and it will be interesting to see how they fix it....
