Its not priced in such a way that would incentivize that.

Literally, you gotta be out of your god damn mind to spend the $$$ for those buffs.

Literally.

Like, dad owns a newspaper (there was a rich guy on my live server back in the 2000s who was kicked from every guild and always made different character names and tried to hide who he was cus he was banned from every guild and his dad was like a billionare lol)

It's a super smart way to reinforce pay to win communism. Like the game feels unplayable when you're not running around with bard speed. So people bitch passive aggressively in global ooc, and cool rich guy sprinkles some money on the server and makes it better. Now you can buy this currency with plat and not spending any money on the server was totally sustainable, but it meant that at least 240 EoM / day (or whatever the actual figure is) had been for the volume of these buffs to occur at the rate that were occurring.

Yes these guys were ike, MUHAHAHA i have an idea MUHAHAHA lets spend all our free time learning how to make a free game MUHAHAHA and it will be stolen (mod) lol MUHAHAHA

it's just absurd. This is they kind of "Im outraged. im being attacked! opressor oporessor!" bullshit that everyone who was raised by helleicotpor parents believe in today.

Did they make a mistake? Yes.

Did they fly to close to the sun? Yes.

Were they designing some elaborate hoax to prey on people?

targeting whales/people out of their mind is an entire industry practice now, and that was even before

>Star Citizen has raised over $800 million in crowdfunding

lot of fish in the sea, only need to catch a few.

talking abut targeting whales as an industry practice.

And then suggesting that the uys that worked 24 hours a day on something they love are doing that.

It takes a lot of karren level mental backflips to turn the guys who did this into "money grabbing preditors".

This is why i hate gen Z and the internet, they all act like everyone is trying to fuck them over.

Are you new to the world, not just the internet, in general? Everything and everyone, generally speaking, will fuck you over in this world if you don't CYA. If you dont think so, I could really use your help. I am a rich prince in Africa that needs your help getting access to my money, if you send me some ill pay you back with interest. Once i get my money ill come to America to sell you a Bridge cheap too for helping me out! Since we are such great guys just helping each other in this world.

The people who helped code THJ, i think largely didn't realize what they were going to do with this. Supposedly Secrets had a lot of help with the code base, and she had no idea it would be used in this way. This is a few individuals fucking others over for some cash. Story as old as time.

I've been ripped off by every single person I've trusted with my account in every MMO. Special exception: Eisley. I trust the one who has mine atm more than most, but it's been a troubling trend. For such a toxic person, I don't have the impulse to rip all the gear off people. Why are normal people so evil?

My best guess? Tribalism, we are nice to the people we know/like. However, we are also quick to "other" someone that is outside our proverbial "tribe". You add in taking the path of least resistance is the most likely path for any living thing and being nice and considerate is a lot harder than being an asshole sociopath. Sprinkle in some online anonymity, and it's a recipe for people who are social rejects to come together to make the 'normies' miserable. A game like EQ just really makes these things easily come together to make a toxic landscape if not moderated heavily.

This is Gen Z in a nutshell "There is Nigerian prince scams" so that means "everyone is scamming me"
