This is just Greed at this point

They are doing another pop event isn’t this like the 8th one we had? First it was those summer skins and in total that was 6. the 2 pajama ones bring us to 8. The dino one brings us to 9. The 2 celestial ones is now 11. Now this new one brings us to 14 gatcha events. At this point it’s just scummy

I don’t feel bad for anyone who has an issue with these. If you want the skin: slight chance to get it cheaper. If you don’t want it full price and only buy some balloons hoping to get it and then are mad you don’t, that’s your own issue, learn some self control, don’t gamble and then complain you chose to gamble. I enjoy being able to buy one balloon from each at the slight chance of getting the skin, but if not still getting some emote or spray or nameplate or something. There is nothing “greedy” about this. You can claim slight scummyness from putting gambling in the game, but the decision to buy the balloons is up to the individual player so just learn some self control.

Nice try netease employee. I want the skin, not useless emojis that I'm forced to pay extra for compared to a shop skin. The "slight chance" is so miniscule that it might as well not be there. I've gotten 4 balloon skins and literally all of them only gave me the skin on the last balloon.

And here’s the fun part: if they were shop skins, you would have payed the exact same price you as you did for the balloons

Is it math or just game knowledge that is not your strong suit?

You know you can buy JUST the skin without the bundle for most store skins? And if you do that, they are indeed MUCH cheaper than the bundle. The gacha mechanic FORCES you to buy the entire bundle if you don't hit early.

Literally would have paid less because hes skip emojis

[u/TopLight135 → u/C0y0tea]

You are literally proving in real time that the people who defend this balloon BS are low iq. Shop skins cost LESS than balloon skins because you're not forced to get the emojis to get the skin in the shop. You can get the bundle without the emojis for 2200 in the shop whereas the balloon skins are 2400

OOOOOO I SAVED 2 DOLLA, you are all over this thread lmao

[u/TopLight135 → u/DaringDevil12]

If you're low iq just say that. Nobody is buying only 1 skin. It adds up with each skin. But you aren't smart enough to think about that. And you actually save even more because you can get the skin for 2000 in the shop instead of 2400 in balloons. I'm all over this thread to dunk on simpletons like you.

Calling someone “low iq” because they benefit from a system you disagree with is the only actual low iq behavior going on here.

bro go outside jesus christ

[u/Peechez → u/TopLight135]

Watching zoomer pay pigs boot lick for this garbage is wild lmao. Truly a generation lost to consumerism and brainrot

[u/TopLight135 → u/Peechez]

Exactly, this is why we can't have nice things. There's too many low iq npcs that ruin it for the rest of us and act like sheep instead of using their brain to figure out what's in their best interest.

[u/C0y0tea → u/TopLight135]

It’s the low iq people that don’t have self control ruining the pop and win for people who enjoy it. What’s in my best interest is spending my money on shit i enjoy, and I enjoy getting two random items for 150 units. The “sheep” are the people all collectively upset about something for separate reasons. The comment section can’t decide if they’re upset because it’s gambling or because you can’t buy the skin separate, just following the herd of being upset

"It's just some horse armour who cares"

So you agree that you and the other complainers on Reddit else’s in the minority? Glad you realized it.

[u/Extreme-Sense-2411 → u/TopLight135]

I want all 3 and now I have a chance to get them for $1, $3, $7, and $15 instead of full price and then the other 2 will be discounted down at 50% off, saving me $24.

But god forbid you apply logic to why this type of event is beneficial to players when you can just endlessly whine about “predatory monetization.”
