Wasted platinum (New moon item pack)

[Dragonrider023]

I wasted total of 125 platinum on new moon item pack for chance of eclipse or whatever it's called. And I didn't got it in any of those tries, it's addicted. I rly wanted cool necklace!

Refund!(they won't refund anyway)

It's a gamble...and although I don't think they should have gambling in a game that's already addicting enough...it's their decision. Adding an addicting thing like gambling to an addicting game is just asking for trouble since people have no self control. It's like the casino. The "real money" is out of sight and you're given chips, or in this case, platinum. It's very easy to blow through platinum because although it's worth real money, it's not money in hand.

However, you knew the risks before hand. It took me about 400 plat to get the flamebrands.

STS is really taking advantage of the 17+ thing

I'm not against the whole "gambling for items" situation, but what does grind my gears is that you don't even know what chance you have at getting the rare items. Smart move for them i guess, because if people find out it's 1%, most would not even bother to try.

I'm going to quote Airrie in this thread. He said it pretty well:

In an effort to prevent this from going in the wrong direction, allow me to clarify with some simple points.
If you buy a random pack, you're always rewarded. It may or may not be your favorite item, but the outcome is always positive.
Actual gambling, like at a casino, runs the risk of an absolute negative. There is no guarantee of any positive outcome and the odds are either entirely for you, or against you at either a gain or absolute loss.

Think of it like buying a booster pack of cards from your favorite card game or putting a quarter in a machine that gives you a toy at random. Chance.

You guys are wise beyond your years!
Well put.

Use a normal account with your own money and try to get one of those random legendary items,

then tell us how much it cost you to get one and what's you thought.

I think that will be more objective.

[Xettacross]

Got it on my sixth try. Booyah XD

Gonna become or already is? This pack is only 5 plat... And if players are spending 800 plat (which in DL RL currency is NOT cheap) are still not getting it, it is a gamble. No disrespect to Airrie, he's a cool as heck mod, but booster packs didn't cost this much before getting, using Pokemon as an ex., a cool AF holographic card. I remember forking over $10 of booster packs back in the day for a holo dragonite but still getting a cool holo raichu and zapdos instead. IMO, they need to raise the % of the desired item. DL plat is significantly more expensive than what we're used to from Pl/SL.

I'm sticking to the drops from 3D missions and I'll be milking the 2x energy regen weekend for what it's worth.

Time X effort > real life money.
