    Do you complain if you buy $500 on lotery tickets and dont get the major prize?

    we heard these stories and we replied back always.

    You know what you are getting into, as long as you buy they won't change it, because you pay them and make a thread about won't concern them. But if no one spend on loot boxes, I mean no one, then in a month or two, you see them reacting.

    That's gambling for you. I mean, I've spent money on lootboxes to see if I could get lucky, but it was only ever 10 to 20 bucks at a time and then I'd stop.

    I'm wondering what made you think that dumping 500 all at once was a good idea.
  • PrincessVPrincessV ✭✭
    like okay, how about being just a tad more constructive guys? Implement a fail-safe measure where if you buy 100 boxes or 200 idc you're guaranteed to have one? This is not the first time i'm intrigued to see the probability distributions and RNG behind those boxes, this is gambling and I'm this close to suing them.

    That is really unlucky. :/

    Given how garbage the chance rates are, it is probably best to find an emp buyer and then use the gold to buy one off the tb. It might be more of a hassle but at least you get what you want.

    well good for you that you cant control your gambling impulses. The UK Gov has you covered! Loot boxes that you pay real money for a chance at a prize are being outlawed at the federal level! you might see it here soon

    do not buy boxes, this is scam...
  • ValiantCorvusValiantCorvus ✭✭✭
    Why should they change them if you keep buying them? You should know better beforehand
  • ValiantCorvusValiantCorvus ✭✭✭
    Wait, what? You're going to sue them? For what?

    It clearly tells you in the description how the box works, it never guaranteed you anything. Assuming that it ever reached litigation they'd laugh you out the room.

    Next time just sell the EMP and buy the item on the broker. People have asked for lootbox reform for years but EME doesn't change it because every time they implement a new lootbox, some new person comes along and unsuspectingly drops their entire paycheck on the things. No incentive to change the system if it's making them money. Stop buying these things.

    Since obviously here we have a lil [filtered] so:
    1. The general lottery is governed by LAW. You think they will sell lottery tickets to kids?
    2. Lottery chances are clearly stated, how the winner is chosen and there's almost always a lawful witness to the process.

    The purpose of buying boxes in tera is that I want an outfit. I don't want to win a million dollars. There's a baseline difference between the two. If you don't have any positiveness in you, I kindly ask you to buzz off.
