It's amazing to me how often they are planning to have these mog lotteries now, they are turning gambling into content..
"Lootboxes" and lotteries are completely fine if they're in-game currency only, which they are.

They kinda arent too, because you can pay 1$ for another chance in those lotteries and lootboxes. You even need sacrifice another 10hours of playtime to push another mule to the point where you get access to some things and automatically you can lie to yourself that its not p2w, because you needed to put work in it :) SimonSes said: » Asura.Geriond said: » "Lootboxes" and lotteries are completely fine if they're in-game currency only, which they are.

SE gets away with a lot of bad things without any backlash. All the while pretending to care about their playerbase when they clearly don't. XIV included. Yea most of this stuff appeals to the large casual base. They think opening up a box is content. I've never won higher than rank 4 in a bonanza since the very 1st one and I dont plan to start now!

You are lying yourself now. Paying for an alt to get more rolls during DM campaign, Login points monthly, aman monthly, gob daily, silver vouchers/sphere giveaways etc. is exactly the form of microtransaction. Alts are part of your account and you can send most items to your main. Its not the same as buying new account or buying more copies of pokemon. Buying more copies of Pokemon to get more chances at the in-game lottery (assuming you can then send reward to your main account) is not a form of microtransaction, but its a form of pay2win. Offline

It's a good way of removing a lot of gil in circulation.

stoping inflation at a certain point is cool and all, whats less cool is turning hyper inflation into hyper deflation. imho ppl want a stable economy with prices they can calculate with unless your the speculative type of guy.
those type of gil sinks seem to target the little guy, why are there so few that only target the gil selling whales? do gil sellers even participate in bonanza? i didn't math it out but gamble usually has the odds against you so i suspect they don't. There's probably someone out there who sells accounts buying a thousand marbles for the chance to sell a winner to a moron.
If there isn't there should be. I bet you could get at least a grand for a 99 trash account with a rank 1 winning ball. Sometimes I bother to pick em up in the hope of doing that lol. Low effort, high reward. Who won?
These are the winning numbers, someone already put them on bg
Rank 1: 596 Rank 2: 22 Rank 3: 4 i've stopped playing the lottery. i don't even play lottery irl.

I got R1 on my Alt character.. She's Geo onry so not that great. Would've rather had R2 on her.

I’ll log in and check tonight. I have a few myself.
In your opinion, how much would these weapons sell for if they dropped from AMAN Trove? I feel like someone would pay 300m for these. Offline
