i sure hope that was sarcasm

its like talking to a badly coded chinese room bot ive expressed that i don't view all monetization/loot box implementation as the same (because they're not) and therefore they should be treated the same you disagree you then go on to express that there are different monetization/loot box implementations so lets try this again, if both microtransactions and loot boxes are implemented on a spectrum - from "not predatory" (e.g. cosmetic options only) to "predatory" (e.g. content locked behind paywall) and everything in between - what is your reasoning for labeling all implementations as equal, regardless of their position on the spectrum?

then its 30% off try to keep up

you've posted in the wrong timeline

i wonder if posting a solution to the ddosing was taken as some sort of challenge by the perpetrators perhaps it would have been better to say nothing at all

first off there was 3 questions, and i very clearly answered one

i thought “don’t play in a group” meant “don’t play in a premade group” but it i can definitely see how playing in a random pug would be frustrating, doesn’t seem much different from soloing at that point

but most of them have quit already speak for yourself :^)

did you even read the thread? this is citadels event time, jericho is 4pm pst/7pm est

so you agree that different monetization schemes exist and yet you still think they should all be treated equally why?

just ban seedy from viewing the forums at all, then everyone’s problems will be solved on a serious note, iirc the first post of a new account has to be approved by moderators anyway, so there’s already a filter on new accounts it’s not like these new members have less of a right to voice their opinion just because they have a 2019 join date - after all the end goal of apb development is to get thousands of new players

the gun with a .76s ttk? should have gone with n-fa 9 at least m8

right? playing with friends is the only thing that makes apb bearable plus solo seems way more rage inducing

awkwardly, the stovepipe hat and the top hat are some of the few items not on currently on sale

literal brick of text jesus christ viewing monetization schemes as a whole is a mistake, imo despite repeated use of buzzwords like "predatory" and "psychological manipulation" not all monetization schemes are equal and they should not be treated equally businesses tailor their product to be as enticing as possible, aside from any mechanic that forces a player to purchase loot boxes/microtransactions, this is standard practice - do you complain that supermarkets are laid out specifically to "psychologically manipulate" customers to buy more and buy things they don't need?

there were some hiccups around 4pm est iirc, later on i was told it resolved itself but at the time it was noticeably affecting play edit: hopefully this actually mitigates the ddosing, the performance for the last few months has been atrocious

but the option to purchase legendaries for ingame cash means you dont need to spend irl money i cant tell if you're doing it on purpose or not but you're repeatedly speaking about loot boxes and microtransactions as a whole, rather than the separate and different implementations each game has

people like you?

yeah thats specifically not in the harassment category

no

as i understand it, since you always get something worth more than 100 g1c its technically not gambling as defined under the law i just dont get how the loot box argument really applies to joker boxes, other than vaguely similar opening mechanics - everything available in joker boxes can be unlocked for free ingame iirc

insulting someone is not harassment

so is op quitting or not

this is one of the largest reasons for the engine upgrade, it will allow the garbage systems we have now to actually be tweaked/changed entirely without destroying the rest of the game given how often this is discussed and how old you are as a player its odd that you dont know this already

have a repost, maybe repetition will finally make it through to the staff
