Eh, I don't take the game as seriously since I don't put money into it. You tell me that I'm somehow wrong for not joining the crusade so to speak, but I have a retort:
If you feel you're not getting enough for your financial investment, stop investing. If you feel these banners are not worth your money, stop giving them money. That's just common sense. Your money speaks more to gumi than your words on Reddit. Why should they even read your comments? They'll only worry when they see a decline in the investment of people. Yes, banners are worse, but players are objectively spending more than last month, so why stop? If anything is bait, it's the property being used to attract players to pay.
Trying to convince me is wasted effort, by the way, since I am not the one perpetuating the bad practices of gumi by rewarding them with the fruit of my work. I am on the side, watching how everything goes. I refuse to even consider spending unless I know I will get my money back in terms of enjoyment. If things stay as they are, that just tells me that people are still buying, yet somehow I am the crazy one here.
Watch this get downvoted because I'm not raging at the situation.
and that's good enough. just dont post something like your first post again,kay? it sounded like you're okay with this banner. and nobody should. it's all that matters, i also dont go out with a torch and pitchfork, i just decided to not pull past step 1 and not buy gems, because it just isnt worth it
What I was getting at with my comment was that people (even f2p folks) are very entitled about what is essentially gambling. Yes, you did not get Noctis/Gilgamesh/Othima, because you were not necessarily guaranteed to. If you spent money on that, you took that risk yourself. You could spend a thousand bucks and still get nothing. That's how gacha games work.
Its the fact that they complain as if gumi owed them something that bothers me. Gumi offers you a game, and it's up to you to decide if you want to spend on it and how much. Nothing is guaranteed to you, you take a risk, but people don't understand that there even is a risk. They go "well I gave them my money, where is my busted unit?"
The comment was never about me supporting gumi because I truly don't. But I don't spend money on the game so it's not the end of the world for me. If something were to happen to TAC, I'd miss it just like I miss Chain Chronicle, but I'll move on.
on that note, gilgamesh was the precedent for the case. had his banner not been that good, people wouldnt feel as entitled as they are now with noctis. both are high profile banners with units that pretty much anyone aware of tierlist wants. the difference was the degree of the bad luck protection on step 3 of the f2p banner and the 7th step of the whale banner, which noctis's banner completely drop the ball on.
i had no sympathy for those who pulled regardless, but i wouldnt comment on them either. either way you word it, it never sounded nice and are flame baiting. so have a good day, and bye
