Any chance we can have some fairness and consistency with these rewards? I get the RNG is dependent on game but seriously? Don’t get it. Just give everyone the same set rewards. It feels more of a mystery ‘prize’ the May the 4th reward.

    Yep that’s what I’m thinking. Never spent a penny. I take it I was reading the contents of them kitten packs. Nice one and thanks for sorting out my crossed wire issue.

    Lol
    Maybe End Game isn't for you
  • It’s only a matter of time before that battle pass comes out. It would be a solution to fairness when it comes to ‘rewards’. 2 box’s. F2P reward box and and a separate Whale reward box.

    You still haven't said which May 4th reward you feel is RNG dependant.
  • Forget may the 4th rewards. That was me just getting crossed wires with some other whale pack thing that they are trying to palm off.

    You seem like you'll do well in games like this. Keep it up.
  • Have you seen my gp. I am.
  • I think 😂
  • I’ve played this game long enough now to voice my opinion. Make it fairer/clearer and more consistent on rewards. Don’t want probability or chance. I want to know what I’m going to get.

    You don’t walk into kfc, order and pay for something specific from the menu and the guy/girl says, there’s a 32% chance you will get what you paid for. There’s a 90% chance though your only going to get chips/fries with it. DONT EVEN GET SALT!!

    Kyno I know your going to kick me off/ban me.

    I just don’t like the thought of paying for something and not knowing what I’m going to get. Do you? The conquest rewards tell me what I’m going to get. It’s says guaranteed, So its more the packs.

    I’ve just had a quick look at one of the packs. Ones called the Zeta Material Mega bundle. It says potential item. I might not buy the packs, but I don’t like seeing people get potentially ripped off through chance. I’m suggesting something like those packs delete. Just make it clear what people are buying. They will buy anyway, but knowing what they are buying is fairer than these 32% here and 80% there.

    ok so you are talking about packs and not rewards.

    to be clear, you do know what you are getting, its stated in the pack description. Would I buy them, no, but thats just my personal choice based on what is stated as the offer.
  • I suppose the suggestion I’m making is how to improve fairness throughout the game but keep it profitable. Can a person who does spend money on those packs realistically say that they are making an informed decision?
  • This is not aimed personally at anyone. Just a suggestion on how to remove something that isn’t clear to the consumer and replace it with something else.

    yes they can. it is stated, and knowing the odds is what makes it an informed decision.

    which is a very fair request.

    I would imagine that the reappearance of something like this will be more dependent on how well it does.

    Casinos don't make billions from people making "informed decisions"

    Not sure about your kids, but mine don't have their own credit card with which to make uninformed decisions.

  • Just so I understand what point your trying to make. When you buy something, (not gamble) you get what you pay for? I suppose you are saying is gambling? Does that not require a license?

    It doesn't matter. Real life purchases require you to inform yourself. There are laws that require certain levels of visibility of terms, but beyond that it is up to the consumer to know what they are buying.

    If you go sign papers for a new car today, and don't understand what 30% interest means, that's on you buddy.

  • Keep the comments coming. More exposure more opinions. It’s just. The difference between gambling (a chance your going to get something) and paying 30% on a car. You already know your paying 30% you whoppa. It’s an informed choice?

    Can the forums make a good analogy?

    NARRATOR: No, they can't.

    How can a kid buy packs?

    If they are using their parents card online, then I suppose they could just go to Carvana.com and buy one there, no?

    Then don't let your kids have your credit card and make purchases. Would you let you kid go to the mall with your card?

    Because they might bring you back a six pack.
