Why do you feel entitled to have everything that’s available? Do you go to a casino and expect to come out with a return? Do you feel you are required to buy gems for something that’s completely optional?

Get over it. They are rare skins for a reason. You can’t always have everything. I want the shield skin badly but I don’t feel like I’m entitled to have it.

“Would you like to buy some Soda or a Hotdog? They’re $50 a piece.”

~~“Wtf?”

“Stop being so entitled.”

Worse comparison ever.

Here, I’ll fix it for you. “Would you like to buy some soda or a hotdog? They’re $50 a piece. The code on the soda and hotdog gives you the chance to win a new car.”

" Sure I’ll buy 4 of each"

“wtf. I eat my hotdogs and drank my sodas but didnt win a car. I should get a car because of what i paid”

“Stop being so entitled.”

Casinos have laws for “fairness”, and in fact have a base return and not only that but a visible display of that the return is. Even lotto tickets have this. It is utterly optional but if I played 100 $1 tickets I can guarantee one of them is going to be a winner especially when the return on the ticket says 1:5 is a winner.

I’m also not talking about entitlement, I’m talking about FAIR value.

You are talking about entitlement. You think because you spend money on gems you are entitled to get what you want. The fact of the matter is, you knew that it’s a RNG game when you bought the keys. Anet is not trying to rip anyone off. They put the mad king chest in for that same reason.

This has nothing to do with being fair. Its entitlement. The way it is now is already fair. Everyone has the same odds. You just feel yours should be better than everyone else.

I’m not quite sure that’s entitlement, when the value of a dollar is a morally understood point of value. For instance rigging the value of any economy around the world is considered a crime against fair and just competition to which prison time often follows. If you happen to live in a state where everyone decides that gas should be 3 dollars higher than what it is currently, wouldn’t you agree that that value is not morally right for what you believe your currency is worth.

Just because someone slaps down a price point and amount of return, when they are the only purveyors of said item/currency it does not automatically make it just. Especially not when there is a black market out there who sells the same thing for half or less than the cost. It is with a sense of fairness and expectation that people are not turning to that other market.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you trying to analyze a simple concept to make yourself feel smart and politically correct?

You buy gems at a fixed price. You buy keys at a fixed price. You use keys at a fixed value. You have a CHANCE to get items. You are not buying gems, or keys, for these items. You are buying them to open a chest. The concept is simple. It is not up to you to decide what the value on anything is, when the value has already been set by Anet.

It’s completely your opinion if you got your money’s worth. To Anet, they posted the price, you bought it, you got your money’s worth. Blaming a RNG and twisting it around with economic mumbo jumbo and using big fancy words is not going to change the fact that you feel entitled to get more than your money’s worth.

I find it hilarious how some of these SoR people are telling us how to play WvWvW.

“Just cooperate together and push. We’ve seen it before”.

Yeah okay, we take a tower and get COMPLETELY SWARMED. Then SoR camps our pk for hours.

Thanks for coming out guys.

Think bigger: Free Transfers are not the problem...

Free xfers should be disabled to allow the matchmaking to pair up servers accordingly without inflation.

End of story.

SoR was dead last last matchup then they spike and up and catch up somehow . This matchup we were all even then suddenly they now own everything.

Gotta love them free transfers. You guys wonder why GoM and us don’t play now. What’s the point when you guys got guilds moving in every day?

It’s quite a shame because in the beginning we had some good battles. Now we get swarmed by the entire server when we take one objective. Yeah so much fun guys!
