Just purchased 92 tries worth of founders chests with both plat and gold.
I attained nothing but trash.
Someone kindly tell me why I support STS products again?

I didnt keep track of the number of bundles i bought but it was less than 30expected and get a whole set plus some. Also got one lvl 5 pink froom a copper chest (i think) early on. Roll of the dice i suppose
I bought 40 or so... Nothing not one purp either...
again. you're not the only one.
did the same ,same result
Then like I said in my thread, if it's not a bug that when I open 155 chests and don't receive a single pink, then the luck system in that game is a disappointment, and I recommend Developers to fix this to make it fair. Because someone receiving pinks from 30 chests opened, and copper chests, is a bit too lucky. And someone receiving no pinks, but only greens or rarely purples from 155 elite chests, silver chests and platinum chests is disappointing, frustrating, sad and pointless. I demand a fix, or if not, then make the luck system different. Just my $0.02, but they really count for me as a great customer to Spacetime Studios.Quote:

If I were you, I would probably tell you to cry more please. I'd probably laugh at your failure and mock you. I'd probably say to stop complaining. I might say something like "better luck next time sport." But I'm not you.Quote:

Sarcastic? :rolleyes:Quote:

One pink ring
Fml
155 chests total (platinum ones, golden ones, silver ones) = 0 pink for me.Quote:

And thats why we dont like it
I don't ever buy them. Random packs are ridiculous.
You may have stumbled into a brilliant idea and not even realized it.Quote:

lol after 19tries of spamming the 1k random. got a pink ring...lol I prob got it between 5-10 but kept spamming without checking. But yea these things are rigged to rip off the rich and give to the poor that when they get an ounce of money will spend it on STS cause they think they'l be lucky again ;) Good thinking STS. So don't buy plat for a week and then buy it and try to see if you win :D
Trust me... we've gone over this so many times since these packs were introduced. I don't think anything is going to change with them.Quote:

So folks, it's all luck. There's nothing else much to it.
Thank you, sir. Please take into consideration the following two things.Quote:

1. From Wikipedia: Gambling is the wagering of money or something of material value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods.Quote:

Unless of course, there is a new, secret, underground definition of gambling that I don't know about.
2. Yes you did state how you want things to be. And I just clearly explained why the idea won't work. So what is your point? Did you ACTUALLY read what I posted prior to this one?
For future reference, I always try to reason civilly based on the topic in hand. You don't have to react in a condescending manner because sooner or later you might run into someone who actually knows what they are talking about and make you look like an asinine.
Just out of curiosity... what do you consider to be the purpose of the package?Quote:

So now I have exactly the same question that you. Check this http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...cetime-Studios
It gives the items some sort of exclusivity. Why? Not everyone is willing to spend thousand of gold on these because it is not a guaranteed item. And even if you are willing to spend, it still doesn't mean you will get the item. Like I stated a million times, it's purely luck. Think of it as like getting a vanity item. After a few patches down the road, these items would have less purpose and you could see them around purely for aesthetics. Bear in mind that the Founder's gears aren't even best-in-slot.Quote:

I figured that if STS wanted all of us to get the items so easily without any repercussions, they would have put all the Founder's gear on the shop separately, with fixed prices, like they did with the platinum items on SL.
