Thank you frank, check out my feedback on the new system Feedback on the New Level System: Concerns About High-Priced Gigs and Deadline Flexibility etc.

Hello fellow Fiverr community members and the Fiverr team, I hope this message finds you well. I've taken the time to understand the recent updates to the level system, and while I appreciate Fiverr's efforts to refine and improve the platform, I have some concerns regarding how these changes might inadvertently affect certain types of gigs, particularly those with higher pricing and projects that naturally require more time for completion. Impact on High-Priced Gigs: It has come to my attention that the new metric system may disproportionately penalize gigs with higher pricing. These gigs, often associated with specialized services that necessitate extensive effort and expertise, are vital to the ecosystem. The higher price point reflects the quality and depth of work involved. However, under the new system, it seems these gigs might be at a disadvantage due to their pricing structure, which could inadvertently discourage the offering of high-value, specialized services on the platform. Deadline Flexibility for Time-Intensive Projects: Another point of concern is the handling of deadlines for projects that inherently require more time, sometimes due to the complexity of the work and other times due to evolving client needs. It's not uncommon for clients to request extensions or modifications that extend the original timeline. While these requests are often reasonable and part of a collaborative process leading to higher client satisfaction, the new system's rigid metric on deadlines could penalize sellers for accommodating client wishes, thereby potentially discouraging a flexible and client-focused approach. I believe the diversity of gigs offered on Fiverr—including those at higher price points and those requiring more time—adds significant value to the platform, enabling clients to find bespoke solutions tailored to their needs. To ensure that Fiverr remains a competitive and attractive platform for both buyers and sellers, I propose the following considerations: Introduce Flexibility for High-Value Gigs: Consider metrics that can differentiate between standard and high-value gigs, recognizing the unique aspects and challenges of the latter. This differentiation could help ensure that sellers offering specialized services are not unfairly penalized under the new system. Adjust Deadline Metrics to Account for Client-Requested Extensions: Implementing a system where deadline extensions requested by clients do not negatively impact the seller's metrics could encourage a more collaborative and flexible approach to project completion. I am eager to hear the thoughts of other community members and the Fiverr team on these points. My intention is to spark a constructive dialogue that leads to solutions benefiting the entire Fiverr community. Thank you for considering this feedback and for your ongoing efforts to improve the platform. Warm regards, thebrownie - Florian K

Buyer often want to extend the delivery time and I have no the problem with this. I had once a buyer who wanted to delay for several months since he didnt have time. And I get this now....great 70+ 5Star reviews - 12 000+$ of revenue iin a year and my gig is bad? The new metric system doesnt work it is so bad for some sellers you can not put all sellers into one pot and grade them some services have different approaches I really hope it is only testing for the metric system
