eazy-vinny Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) 'Effective June 20th 2018, we are restricting the purchase of Loot Boxes. This is a short term solution to bring our games into compliance with the rules laid out by the Gaming Authority in your country. In the near future we will be unlocking these purchases, but enforcing trade limits on rewards. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.' When did this apply i can't buy joker boxes anymore?

Inquitoria Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 And who wrote this where? Afaik it's Belgium and Australia introducing legislation, possibly China too.
Kevkof Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 This was done for people from Belgium and The Netherlands, since it's in the legislation there and the bigger companies have also taken similar steps. Armas was changed for that around September 2nd. Sadly I can't legally buy jmb's anymore ... Yay Belgium
JungleFlaco Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Restrictions to this should be applied depending on which country/IP you are.. It does not mean you can not spend money on these, but being restricted to certain amounts.

(LO should add option to buy legendary without gambling... u know acc. perm option) p.s. you can change IP. Edited September 27, 2018 by MartisLTU
NotZombieBiscuit Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) Good. Now hopefully the rest of the world tags along and gets rid of these gambling practices or at the very least restricts them as such to force the hand of the gaming industry to look elsewhere for profit.

Pillowlol Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 It's pretty dumb, I can go to the casino here in NL but can't buy a jmb on apb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Could it be that RL casinos require licenses and that all the machines are "sealed" and controlled by government agencies that inspect casinos regularly? That you know your chances of winning in blackjack, roulette and etc. Who controls gamedevs though? Nobody lol

TheDogCatcher Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 I don't like the idea of lootboxes, I bought a few of them when I first started playing but soon realised they were a bit of a con. I do wonder though how much of the game's income relies on their sale, I'm guessing it's a pretty hefty chunk. If LO got rid of them what could they replace them with ? Something would be needed to fill the void, I doubt clothing and weapons sales could ever make up the shortfall.
Omitsu Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 Meanwhile its 2019 and i still can't get any boxes??

That would be a law that needs changing There's nothing about *cough* going to a different country *cough* and buying them there though. While it is illegal to use tools to break local laws, they have to catch you first
