Magic POP Event... Scandal!

TheSlink · **Joined:** May 2008 **Posts:** 364 **Location:**

Well i would like to express my feelings for this retarded event..

Basically i'v seen so many people gain them for well under 500 silk.. im talking about the SUN weapons, not the devil spirit or Sun Armors!.

So to this date i have bought.. Brace yourself.. 1,900 Silk.. that means 190 ATTEMPTS to get this prize.. So.. each 500 i got a "bonus" 25.. that means i have had 197 attempts.. to no avail.

How much more silk can i possibly throw at this to actually get my Sun Staff?? I can only max another 100 silk.. and im POSITIVE i wont get it from the 10 trys from that. Also, im not even sure if on Tuesday they will reset and more weapons will appear on there for others to "TRY" to win!..

Well, my rant is over.. and now im seriously questioning my mental health status.. becuase WASTEING $190 is physical and mental insanity on a patheticly managed MMORPG.

/Rant

neh, an addict will waste 190 bucks on a stupid in-game gambling system then come here and rant about it, a sane person would just quit this game and save that money for something more productive, or at least don't waste as much! ^_^
i know you were trying to apply a funny logic to your post, but people wasting 190 bucks on something like that surely need help.

If people got the money to spend and they like the game, why not? It's cheaper than buying gold for Sun, or directly from Ebay or something >.> And it's not against the rules.

When will people understad that iSRO is the trashbin of all other SROs...

Seriously...

- isro is filled with bots (That don't get banned)
- also filled with GOLD bots (that can just remake acc, and back to fill the servers)
- in resume of the 2 above:no serious anti-bot system (if any)
- events are always stupidly hard and low rewarding
- game became a bit unfair with prem+
- it became even worse with d.spirit
- now the "wonderful" magic pop...

iSRO just doesn't deserve all these players...

it's not the fact that's it's legal or not. it's the fact that people actually waste as much. it's just like going to the casino. wasting 5000$ on a poker hand is completely legal, i'm just stating that people willing to do that are either super duper rich, or need help, or both.

as i can gather from that first post, that 190 bucks made an impact on that guy, maybe cuz he isn't as super duper rich to throw that kind of money around maybe?
either way, 190$... that's just wrong man.

If it is a hobby why is that wrong? People all have things that make then happy. Fishermen buy random expensive crap, people that use photoshop for a hobby pay big loads of money for the software. It is what makes people happy. If I had the money, I would be pumping mad silk myself.

I guess ur right

TheSlink · **Joined:** May 2008 **Posts:** 364 **Location:**

Well, as someone said.. Its a hobby.

I would much rather waste money this way in a half-assed attempt for SUN.. Rather than failing at buying a sun weapon becuase i got scammed by a retarded greedy player.

This is NOT the end of my quest to get my sun.. i WILL have it. <-- Serious Face.
I will get the last 100 added asap.. Then if i fail still.. guess i gotta wait 2 weeks for my silk to be reset. (I hope in that 2 weeks they dont change the Sun Staff out).

Greetz to everyone, thanks for the replies.

ive spent like $200 buyin tons of special beers in a pub, in one night. whats the problem wastin less on ur game? some ppl drink, some smoke, some buy clothes, some pay hookers, and some play sro.

First of all why waste it all on pop cards? Secondly dont try them all within the same day/week...i would try like 5 ...wait a couple days try another 5 ..something like that...pace yourself so your not trying all of your attempts in one setting.

NuclearSilo · **Posted:** Sat Apr 18, 2009 1:53 am

- no one force you to buy silk
- no one force you to play the game
- magic event is like lottery, some ppl buy lottery for years but don't win, some ppl buy lottery for the first time and win....

No offense but...
First when I read the thread, I thought you were going to rant about people being able to get a sun weapon for cheap, which is fine...
Then as I read, I realized you were just complaining because you had tried 190 times and still didn't get a sun and you were pissed that you were getting milked for so much money...
Finally it turned out that you are just annoyed because you reached your silk charge limit and can't spend any more!!
Seriously, I can't believe the degree to which some people are addicted to the game. I can understand buying silk for a game which is a hobby, I used to do it myself. But some people, not just you, act like it's a MUST.

Because drinking is fun. Clothes? You fuucking wear your clothes and hookers for obvious reasons. On the other hand, 1900 silk to win a virtual item which has no value outside the game whatsoever is just stupid. Your logic there is phail.

Well they may find SRO fun, as do I, have values by not getting hookers, and you don't need new clothes all the time...

Your logic is fail. Drinking is fun? Who says what's fun and what isn't? I don't think that's you. 'Fun' is perspective, and to some, games/money = fun.
