the "make-up code" (which gives exact same thing on Thursday after
the podcast), people miss it every week. I'm not trying to complain
(though technically I am)....I'm just saying : This isn't 10 or 20
reserves and/or equipment....Why even limit it? Save the limited
uses for bigger rewards....it saves Tragic (or whoever sets it up)
work by only having to do it once a week. It also saves us
from having to type it in within minutes (to keep from having to
wait until Thursday) and if they would use "hidden" codes with
better rewards, harder missions with better rewards, etc. I think
it would increase viewership, and allow them to do more intensive
interactive events with the audience. Just thinking out loud
here.... P.S. ... How many in here watch Tragic's podcast on
Tuesdays/Thursdays, and/or participates in the games on the
training server that happen at different times (I'm not certain
Tragic is still doing them, but I THINK she has been doing them on
Thursday's later in the evening). They are an absolute blast! Maybe
Wargaming will even support the games with prizes of some sort if
people would participate regularly. I've been out of the loop since
Thanksgiving for the most part, so I'm not positive how many times
she did this through the holiday season. Hopefully it's something
popular enough for her/them to continue doing (it is varied
competitions in training rooms...like everyone jumping off
cliff/aircraft carrier, to see who travels the farthest in the
air...and many others). If you haven't seen one of these sessions,
you should absolutely watch for them!! Ok....my blabbering is
finished for now

Thanks for the suggestions!
The codes are limited as they are intended to be a reward for those who come to the streams on a regular basis. Kind of like a rewards card, a lil bonus for our regulars.
The make-up code was to help those regulars who wanted to keep up the streak bonus, but maybe had plans uphold (family comes first!).
I definitely understand the hope that players get the code from this thread, but increasing the limit has had zero impact on the viewership. I appreciate Warchild's code thread and we've spoken about best practices as to be respectful to the intent behind the Weekly Watcher Code.
Unfortunately, this also means regardless the code will find its way to forums/discords/social media so there is no way to stop the spread, and increasing rewards would only increase the possibility and the reward for those who get the code outside of stream time.
Quick Edit:
The use amount is by no means "small" 750 for the Tuesday one and 1000 for Thursday. Our average viewership is around upwards of 350~. Essentially double the viewers get the code before the stream end, which means not only do those watching have a possibility of missing out, but that means viewers are spreading it so quickly that 750 people use it within the stream time and we see none of the benefits.
