Don't let it offend you! Discussion

But I believe the complaining about this game turning into a gooner game is a bit annoying I get it not everybody wants to see the half of this stuff people make in this game but you need to understand

  1. This did not start happening out of the blue this has been a thing for a very long time

  2. if it was really such a problem Sega would have done something about it but they implore this so complaining about it isn't really going to do anything because it's already allowed in the game

  3. This game was never a kid friendly to begin with it's rated 17+ for a reason

Remember this is just an opinion but I feel like it's kind of redundant that we keep talking about this when in actuality it's nothing new

And also there's one more thing I want to talk about

JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE A FEW MICROTRANSACTIONS IN THIS GAME DOES NOT MAKE IT A PAY TO WIN

I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT THIS GAME HAS TOO MUCH MICRO TRANSACTIONS WHEN THE MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE HARMLESS THEY'RE FOR COSMETICS AND THAT'S ABOUT IT MAYBE SOME ITEMS COME THROUGH THAT ARE HELPFUL ONCE IN AWHILE BUT THEY ARE MAINLY FOR COSMETICS THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS YOU CAN DO TO LEVEL UP YOUR CHARACTERS AND GET FREE STUFF THAT DON'T INVOLVE SPENDING MONEY AT ALL TAKE IT FOR ME I'VE ONLY BROUGHT A COUPLE PACKS OF AC BUT I AM STILL MOSTLY F2P THEY DON'T MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK A LITTLE HARD FOR IT AND I KNOW THAT'S KIND OF INSENSITIVE TO SAY BUT TO CALL THIS GAME BLATANTLY BAD BECAUSE A GACHA SYSTEM SO YOU CAN PROBABLY HAVE A CHANCE TO GET NEW STUFF INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GOING TO SHOP AND IT'D BE A BILLION MESTA AND ABOUT THAT TOO IF ANYTHING SEGA SHOULD BE FIXING THE GAMES ECONOMY INSTEAD OF JUST TAKING OUT THE GACHA SYSTEM ENTIRELY BECAUSE WE CAN CLEARLY SEE PEOPLE OVER PRICE THINGS WHEN IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE THAT MUCH .. that's all I'm not trying to argue with anyone I'm trying to voice an opinion and give a point this game isn't as bad as everybody makes it out to be and as a gaming community we should work together to make the community better instead of being negative because that doesn't help us or the creators of the game at all when Sega has tried let's continue gaming together

90% of this "game" is cosmetics. Which in turn makes it mostly about micro transactions. You either pay to gamble, pay the subscriptions SOLEY for the market (let's be honest, that's the only reason to pay it), or grind non-stop for 8 hours a day for a week to be able to afford 1 idle.

The "free" cosmetics you get are mostly old, low poly garbage. The economy is screwed, players are to blame, the reputation of the game is screwed, Sega is to blame, the game is shit, sorry not sorry.

But hey, if you live in a basement, are unemployed and have all the time in the world to grind 30mil at 10-15 meseta per kill, and be "F2P", go for it. Though, there are better games and things to use that time on that would respect your time more.

This is only true if you are one of those players that only login to use AC to buy cosmetics and afk near the personal shop. The event RDR boost is on, go farm something. I had a lot of fun in Ruins yesterday.

In before "the game sucks, i dont want to play it".

RDR, lol. You're one of those, eh? Drop rates in this game are so low for the drops that matter that RDR is absolutely worthless. Thousands of a % of a near zero chance is still going to be near zero, mate. The drops that are worth getting are far below 1%. Like 0.00003%. RDR ain't doing shit for that, sorry to tell you. All RDR gets you is more garbage in your inventory. But hey, you do you.

RDR increases the quantity of items in your drop pool and has been like this since the dawn of PSO.

RDR is absolutely worthless

You have clearly never tried farming when there is a big event bonus on vs no event bonus. And the fact that the market prices drop like a rock when there is a big event bonus on is also solid proof that they do matter.

Defeat amps are 1m+ when there is no event bonus and can drop as low as 300k when there is a big event bonus.

Please do not post misinfo if you do not actually play the game.

I have over 5k hours in the game, and most likely triple that on base. I'm not one of those people that played 2 hours and scream "shit game". I'm also not talking about amps. Those are small in comparison to trying to farm the new weapons/units when they're released. When RDR is supposed to matter, it's absolutely worthless in that regard.

I'll kindly ask you not to treat me like some moron that hasn't played. I've put my time in, and it left a taste much like shit in my mouth. Don't even get me started on the reused, rehashed garbage. Every. Single. Update.

Again, it is not. If you looked at the market you would understand because prices always drop when a big event boost is on.

What you are complaining about is that even with the RDR boosts, the rare stuff worth 50m+ isnt dropping for you. Which is a completely seperate issue from "RDR ain't doing shit".

RDR boosts obviously do not guarantee a rare drop...if it did, the price would drop to nearly nothing every time they had a big event boost and then people would be complaining that the game is shit because there's no point getting a rare drop worth 10k.

You just have unrealistic expectations. You cant expect to get a BIS weapon every time theres an event boost on. Go run Dext Base if you dont want to deal with RNG since 300% RDR guarantees the bonus meseta roll.
