Yep. The only people who are against these are (a) people who think it's someone else's responsibility to help them control their gambling problems or (b) obsessives who need every little cosmetic thing but refuse to do a few dailies or something to make the credits for buying the items off the GTN.
Im pretty sure that if you see someone putting a bottle of vodka infront of an alcoholic, you would still blame the alcoholic for drinking it...
What i think they should remove (especially since it cant be removed with coins, only with subscription) is the -30% XP restriction.
Meaning if you play F2P (preferred or not) you earn 30% less XP constantly... this is why there are so many F2P players asking for help with class missions on higher levels (and getting yelled at because of it in general chat)
So, what youre saying is that Bioware should not implement any form of voluntary lock on cartel packs for people with gambling problems because its more or less our own fault.
And how would the many be punished by implementing a voluntary lock?
Ps. i bet you kick homeless people for fun since its their own fault they are homeless right?
The system, unfortunately, brought up the compulsive gambler in me before i even had a chance to react.
Currently i am unemployed and was planning on spending the fee cartel coins i got for resubbing on unlocking things so i could play F2P whilst i am without income.
Unfortunately, that is not what happened as my old problem of gambling reared its ugly head and i have now not only spent the 1700 or so coins i got for free but also bought and spent 2400 more coins.
All on the damned boxes.
Now that i have it under control, i will try not to use it, but its kinda like me going to the horse tracks each day to drink coffy and then try not to gamble.
Actually, come to think of it, i think ill contact customer service and ask if they have any plan for dealing with compulsive gamblers or if you could somehow ask to be blocked from buying cartel packs completely, but still have access to the rest of the cartel shop.
PS: need i say that i got nothing of use whatsoever from those boxes? got a few speeders and a few pets, all very common, and the usual glowing eyes/republic standards/crappy materials thing... nothing of import.
Why one minute past twelve? why not twelve exactly?
somewhat odd :/
but 1.2 yaaaaaay!
So... We have people who complain that theyre not fixing the game, and then we have people who complain that theyre patching the game too often and at the wrong hours... especially when its at weekdays during the morning/middle of the day...
There's no pleasing some people...
(thats just what jesus said sir!)
Only thing i dont like about this whole deal is the influx of pureblood sith working for the republic all of a sudden...
Or maby, just maby, there isnt news every single day in an MMO?
Also, the zoom in/out function only moves the weapons up/down on my screen :/
Great work! ive been wanting something like this in-game for ages, but having it here will certainly help getting familiar with the looks of the guns vs their icons :D
