Discussion 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.

"Just learn self control" as if gambling addiction isnt a serious mental health issue that can be quickly solved. Jesus christ this take is so out of touch and unempathetic.

Every other ad on every website and every other commercial is a gambling advertisement. For gambling that risks losing money for nothing. 100s of games have lootboxes and other forms of gambling if you have an issue with it there’s many sources that are causing much more harm. The pop and win balloons are the least harmful “gambling” I’ve ever seen and there’s no chance that you spend money and get nothing, you’ll always get something.

I have issues with all of them, yes. That doesnt mean this one isnt an issue as well. Lootboxes and gacha have been banned in several countries for a reason. NetEase has done everything they can to trigger our brains to want to gamble more while just barely not breaking rules.

Sounds like YOU have a gambling issue. In which case Reddit and Rivals probably isn’t the place for you

I dont have any gambling issue at all? Just because I dont like a predatory system doesnt mean Im personally affected by it. Its called having empathy. Try it.

I have it. When I have an issue with something I fight it at an actual source, not be the 50th person to cry on reddit about the smallest case of the issue

I can fight it at an actual source and discuss it on reddit as well. Whats with you thinking people can only do one thing at a time?
