    Default This is senseless, is it not?






    And not a single trident
    Not fair! I got bought a lot, as you can see, and not one single devilish trident.

    Could you spare a zombie head? Jk anyway that seems a lot of plat being spent.

    I could see how that would make one sad, but it is random and the driving force behind the drop system and why this gimmick is making STS so much money right now. Players are spending obscene amounts of plat to get quadruples of rented costumes and pinning their hopes on one specific vanity item. Sure the devil set is pretty sweet, but if you're not lucky enough to get it in one or two shots the real "senseless" part of the situation is that you're still hopeful that you'll get it next time. I understand that it is your plat and you're free to spend it how you want, it doesn't affect me one way or the other, just now sure what you expect this thread to accomplish; perhaps deter a player or two from following in your footsteps, or just a simple statement of agreement... "It is perhaps the most senseless thing I've seen in quite a while."

    It's like buying Magic Card booster packs. You want that really rare card, doesn't mean it's going to be in there. Buying more and more would seem ridiculous to most people, but its your money.

    I used to do the same thing with Pokemon cards lol. But instead of a like 1 of 200 chance, you have a better shot.
    I've only wanted the new witch hat, and I got it last night attempting to get the new items. I sorta want the new shield now

    I feel like they should just sell the vanities individually for a boosted price, maybe 30 plat? That way, we'll still be spending money but without getting duplicates. Less money will be spent, yes, but players will be happier and more devilish

    Yeah, spent over 400 platinum on those packs. Now that I think on it, probably not the smartest move. I think I spent 400 platinum+, I'd have to count them up.

    Ah, but you see, STS is still making more money this way. I do agree that something like this would be better for the consumers, but not the producers.

    What they normally do is sell them this way, then when people complain, they give them refunds. They already got the money so they profit either way. It's a win win situation either way. At least, that's what happened last halloween. It's not necessarily a bad thing, as both parties benefit.

    Any system that is used and fails but isn't scrapped is a bad thing in my book. If STS has to revise things and refund players for a choice they made then I'd say a change is in order, sounds like a waste of man hours. Just create system where everyone has felt they have won; learn from mistakes and evolve.
