Precursor crafting, more like gold sink simulator.

Actually its not about how much i paid, i could afford it and i did it, what i am "complaining" as u said is that there is less and less fun going into these things and more gold sinks, read what i wrote before u post please. When you say "less fun" do you mean "less fun than spending 1k gold in one go on the TP" or "less fun than throwing 400 exotics into the mystic forge" because, if you want, you can still do those methods. -

They are meant to be expensive, you chose to increase the expense by buying ascended mats (which you could have been saving up for a year before hand). Your complaint is a complaint about the core aspect of Legendary items - rarity achieved through expense. -

I like people doing maths but you've made a mistake, you're not reducing the total with each roll. The first is 1/30, second is 1/29, third is 1/28...This is messing up your numbers. -

Oh good, we're in the "eat each other" portion of the political movement, kicking people for buying items is insane. When you start purging people who you deem "harm society" you might worry that your education didn't take in the first half of the 20th century.. -

How do you feel about the people who buy a new iPhone every time they are released? Is that deliberate targetting of vulnerable people? Can we please just try to get to a point where we don't use "vulnerable people" as a bludgeoning instrument to get what we want. Every single day there is someone getting up on a soap box demanding something then wheeling on a "vulnerable person" and telling everyone who doesn't agree with them that they are hurting Timmy. I won't be buying the mounts using this delivery method, I don't like it. Anet will need to look at their data and see if this model is worth it and sustainable. Make arguments about customer trust, about reasonable price points, about the structure of the stable but please stop wheeling out a "vulnerable person" to guilt people into obeying you. -

I'd be careful getting people to looking into the Isle of Man too much, the red scourge is currently licking its lips at all that private jet tax avoidance. I'm pretty sure the gambling law is very specifically designed for tax avoidance too xD -

No. There is no such limit. You're assuming that ArenaNet will not add more skins to the pool. I can guarantee that they will making the odds of getting "the one you want" lower. People absolutely have the right to gamble - but then GW2 should be rated M (or even AO) and clearly labelled as a gambling product, not just a video game. Like online poker. You don't have a leg to stand on claiming this is gambling, it is just extremely expensive and badly designed (leaving an awful taste in the mouth). No casino on earth gives you a jackpot guaranteed after a maximum of 30 rolls. There very clearly is a limit, 30 rolls. There is buckets wrong with this purchasing model, inventing wrong problems does not help. It’s gambling. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gamble It is gambling in the same way buying something for £127.50 when it comes with stuff you don't want is gambling, ie. not at all gambling but stupidly expensive and badly designed. Gambling always requires a chance you will lose, you cannot lose if you buy 30 tickets or even the whole bundle "deal." I really have no interest in defending this awful decision by Anet, but it is not gambling. Gambling is the wagering of money or something of value (referred to as "the stakes") on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning money or material goods. The outcome of what you are buying is uncertain until you have only 1 skin left. The object is 30 mounts which Anet has valued at £127.50, they will deliver it to you one random piece at a time or you can buy it all at once for a discount. You are just excited about one piece but the product is the whole thing. You aren't winning anything you are just buying a group lot in a random order with the option to stop buying pieces once you get the bits you want. As I said, I hate it but it is not gambling. It is gambling and you are derailing this thread. I didn't bring up gambling, other people did, complaining about "derailing" the thread when you are arguing with me is ridiculous (especially since the OP of the thread I was speaking in, before the merge, specifically was talking about gambling addiction). The model is gross, they need to change it but it is not gambling (you can prove it by buying the set unlock or 30 tickets).
