To all the people that are sayin that its a waste of money you need to stop and look at exactly what you are saying. In essence you're all saying that HE should not waste HIS money on a game/gambling system (or any game) that YOU don't like just because YOU think so.

That is very presumptuous of all of you.The fact is we all waste our money and time on something but that is only true when we ourselves believe it is a waste. Not what others think.

of course he can do whatever he wants with his money, it's just silly that he decides to pump it all in magic pop bullshit, that's all. besides the fact that it's quite sad tbh.

it's not like we can do anything to stop him from wasting his maybe-hard-earned money anyway.
the thing is, believing that spending 190$ on magic pop bullshit is NOT a waste is not the best way to think. there's obviously addiction and greed in between. OBVIOUSLY.
lols.

@ all the people who are flaming him for spending money on Silkroad:
It's his money, he can choose how he wants to spend it. If he wants to spend it on Silkroad, so be it.

lols.

Its not silly because YOU think so... Its silly for yourself not him.. Its not sad because YOU think so..Its sad if you were doing it....Believing that it is not a waste depends on the person who is spending that $190.00... And it seems its not a problem for him since he is willing to go ahead and do it again... All of you are just projecting your own perceptions on him thinking that he should be thinking along the same lines as you.

What I am saying is you may be right that he is wasting his money but that is for him to decide or eventually realize. I don't know his financial situation. But I wont think that he's just like me in the sense that he shouldn't be tossing $190.00 on the gambling system.

He was just ranting when he said that because he didn't win anything. He probably didn't mean what he said and the proof is when he stated that he is gonna wait till his next silk funds are in place to do it again and again till he wins something.

So he hasn't made your point..

evilpeta · **Joined:** Feb 2006 **Posts:** 895 **Location:** ...

he means what he writes. and him saying that he'll do it again doesn't show me anything more than just feeding addiction, thus feeding my point.

i should of added my own thoughts to it but...beh...for me a hobby is something that has physical attributes (i wouldn't consider psing pictures to be a hobby)...for most ppl on sro=main occupation since most ppl who play it are kids...sro isnt a hobby for most players...its an addiction

value of sro =/= other players (on my basis)

value of sro =/= value of old hot rods (on my basis)

Congratulations. SRO has turned into a lottery and you spent 190$ on it, and won nothing (first prize was a bunch of pixels arranged to look like a weapon). Not sure if this post helps, but i tried.

Pro:
- Everyone should / can spend his money on what he likes to do, not what YOU think it's best he spends on.

Con:
- He ranted about himself ?

Is SRO really that much better than WOW? 190 bucks on one game in one month is ridiculous.

You are retarded. You cannot compare drug addiction to a game addiction. A hard-drug addiction screws up your whole life. Just because you don't have a J-O-B and cannot afford to spend money on a game doesn't mean you attack people who do.

you are retarded for saying I don't have a job and can't spend money on this game when you do not know me at all I can have a very good job for all you know. I'm just smart enough to not throw away hundreds of dollars to such a crucked **** up company. and for those who do I don't really care. whatever floats your boat. It's not my money being wasted.
EDIT: To topic starter if you blow even more money and still don't get your precious seal of sun weapon please post it so I can really lmfao!
