samurai bandit 05/20/18 5:14:32 AM #51:	Im pretty sure that TC has gotten more hours of enjoyment out of his money spent on microtransactioms than what others complaining in this TC have gotten from getting drunk/drugs/going to expensive restaurants. Even a trip can be super expensive and it you prefer to spend that money elsewhere that's ok. As long as TC is happy good for him. However I do hate microtransactions as they seem a scam to me, but can see where TC is coming from. --- Go and watch Ef ~ A tale of memories now! <cite>samurai bandit posted [p:901665900] in I routinel...

DoctorVader 05/20/18 5:16:19 AM #53:	Lathissamus posted... Your spending is irrational because there is no rational reason to spend $3,000 on a mediocre mobile game, or any game for that reason, regardless of income, because the value of the game is not even 1% of what you have spent on it. The fact that you seem proud of your spending implies some sort of addiction or mental disorder. Everybody has different utilities. You can't attempt to rationalize that. Even if it's based on addiction as long as it's not leaving him broke and he understands this. If you have money and all your essentials are paid off and you have savings, then it's kind of irrelevant want he spends it on. The only concern we should have is that it will just encourage the industry to move more into this stuff, which is horrible. --- It all just disappears, doesn't it?

My bigger issue is how he's normalizing these practices for his daughter, that this is okay.

Sad_Face 05/20/18 8:34:36 AM #82:	Sent my Lilina to greet you. Don't turn Hector's daughter back now... cjsdowg posted... What do orbs do? It' the currency in which you use to summon for a chance to get new characters. You need at least 5 to start a summoning session. In a summoning session, you get 5 summoning orbs, you choose 1 to summon a character, then the cost of opening another summoning is another 4 orbs, then 4, then 4 again, then finally 3 so that the total cost of a single session maxes at 20 orbs. You need a lot because the percentage rate of getting a single focus unit of a banner, the showcased units of the theme of the banenr, run at a 3% chance. So you want to have at least 150 orbs for a solid chance of getting them. You could get lucky and get them on your first pull, or you could get them in 40 orbs, or you can get super unlucky and get them in over 200 orbs, or over 440 orbs (this happened to me, I didn't get that character). This is where the gambling element comes into play. But FEH gives you free orbs on a daily basis. You'll never have to play like TC, you just need to be patient and have some self control. --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif <cite>Sad_Face posted [p:901669360] in I routinel...

nemu 05/20/18 8:51:52 AM #88:	I'm about $7000 into a game as well over a period of three years. It's really no different than spending money on any other hobby. The main problem is that the rewards are not tangible, and they are tied to a server that will inevitably go down. The account only has worth right now, but it could only be sold for a fraction of the cost put into it. As long as the game is free to play so you know what you are getting into and the spending is not done negligently, I don't see any problem in the end. <cite>nemu posted [p:901669723] in I routinel...

I mean, I've spent a little on FTP games that I really enjoyed like LoL, but it wasn't more then like $75, and it was all for the cool skins I wanted. Shadow of War is a pretty good example, the game was designed to allow you to spend money on loot boxes in hopes of getting good orces instead of fun and interesting ways to earn them, and I just don't think that is fun. To each their own, but I'd consider investing some of that money into RRSPs and crap instead of wasting on a game that's servers will one day shut off and you'll have nothing to show for your investment. --- Everything EA contributed to gamers around the world in one youtube clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBoesEFWZnM <cite>rusty12000 posted [p:901673007] in I routinel...
