    Another well-written post, and for that I give salute you!

    Though the main subject matter here is "gambling", you've provided some great tips on how to do it wisely. Gettin' a feel after every batch of opening dem crates reminds me on how I pause every once in a while when I can't get through a level in Candy Crush. Resuming after a well-deserved break usually does the trick ^.^

    Another great post True

    Do you study Stoic Philosophy? Great quote from Epictetus.

    The amount of crates you posted tells me you were working with somewhere around 5k plat, plus or minus a couple hundred. That's an insane amount of plat spent. o.O!!

    Granted, you got several items that made the entire process worth it, but it's still incredibly expensive. Most players can never hope to own that kind of plat.

    Pacing aside this seems to be a spend money thread. LOL

    Wow.. I'm humbled, thank you everyone for all your kind words! Initially I wasn't sure how this kind of writing would be received, quite delighted that it worked out ok!

    If those items fell to everyone so easily, they would be way more common than they are, and would go for much much less gold on the open market.

    The "Midas Touch" achievement is not one that can be bought
    And it should stay that way, imho. This didn't get published for weeks coz I had this internal debate about which info might be useful and which might do more harm than good. Parts I thought might kill the economy, make things harder for everyone, got rephrased or completely cut out ..

    for eg, one whole section that fell on the cutting room floor explained why I stopped at only 40 crates on day 1 but kept at it on day 2 .. why I decided to buy more crates at peak prices .. It was titled "the arcane theory", so.. u get the idea.

    Someone here just mentioned that it normally costs more to open 300+ crates - that's a big clue there. Big clue. Depending on peer feedback, might even delete that part..

    Hey Time, funny u mention that. I've never formally studied philosophy, nor read many books, believe it or not.. rarely tune into any kind of mass media either.. just always felt they discouraged the imagination.

    Anyway your post got me looking up "stoic philosophy" for the 1st time - That quote was picked from a general list.. and .. this is a bit disconcerting for me *raises face to sky* What does this all meaaan! lol

    Well True, after i think maybe 200 or more crates today, all I got was tons of gold, level 10 pinks to sell at twink level and a BLOOD RUBY OF SHUYAL.

    Thats it. I technically gained only a little if I resell it.

    I did get tons of plat today which allowed me to keep on trying to crate that midas touch.

    lol true, well i'm liquidating all the pinks now and I'm making a good amount of gold from it since it is twink gear.

    I was hoping for at least a few mythics not just one ring, lol. At least an arcane!

    If I get more plat I'm definitely burning more on crates. Its too addictive!
