I am a regular player, FTX never gave me anything more than what I paid for. But unlike many who spend a lot of time and energy on complaining and requesting more for less money, I am realistic about what we have a chance to get and what we will never have. So I just try to position myself into...

What is 25 levels higher exactly?

I am not, but feel free to think whatever suits you.

I am no shill, nor am I an FTX employee. I'm just saying that you have to set long-range targets and goals in a game to make it appealing and maintain interest in the long run. Again, what matters is how well you manage with this constraint compared to your opponents that matters, not how long...

In substance I agree with you. FTX has never tried to hide that it is a business, therefore aiming at maximizing profits. But from a strict lexical point of view I think it should be called virtual or simulated gambling, as it is not exactly the same as direct, real-money gambling. Holding coins...

It is virtual gambling, as lobsterboy clearly explained. Whether or not it is moral to allow 13y old kids to play this game is a different topic, but playing the talent roulette isn't the same as inserting real money into a slot machine.

This issue has been discussed in several other posts already. I started getting level 54 outposts when I reached level 37. You have a high medal count (and I do to) so I'm guessing this is one of the reasons we get these high level outposts but the difference is still too important in my...

Haha, I'm sensing a little bit of bitterness here Seyfert... :p

It doesn't matter how long it is, what matters is how much faster you can get there compared to your opponents.

That sucks... I agree that those chests should release better sicarios.

That is one way to say it... What I meant was: I have never struggled to get anything from the workshop until I had sicarios to level up to max level. It doesn't necessarily mean that something needs to be changed in the game math, just that I will have to deal with it in my game strategy. If...

You can (but it is not compulsory) pay real money to try your luck on the various "roulettes" available in the game, which will result in you getting virtual stuff more or less useful in the game. In no way will you get real money or material goods, which is the definition of gambling you gave...

Why would someone stop playing on the grounds that they'll stop losing time, but continue coming on the game forum to discuss this is totally beyond me...

In my experience, crafting time has never been an issue until I got to the gear needed to level up sicarios to the top level. You can always find a way around the rest.

Man I'm just quoting you: Do you get money on the talent roulette? No. Do you get material goods? No. This is not gambling, period.

LAGRIMA I guess you spent quite an amount of time writing this message, so you probably intend people to read it. But people won't read such a dense block of text with no punctuation marks whatsoever. I would kindly suggest you make a writing effort otherwise you will probably just lose time.

Yes, just as you say: material. The things you get on the game "roulettes" are intangible and non-physical.

I was also using refresh a lot before, and have stopped doing so because of the combination of increased price + decreased interest in the displayed items.

I think it's more interesting to have a variety of defensive devices to choose from. Having weaker weapons is part of the work you have to do and allows for different strategies to be implemented. If all weapons were equally powerful it wouldn't make sense to have different weapon types. That...

Yes progressing through the leagues seems more and more difficult as you climb the ladder. Yet, some people succeed so there must be a way...
