Player Boxes Rant

HighwayMan22HighwayMan22 Registered Users, Member 8 Posts
Man I am so sick and tired of getting ‘850’ xp(example)  on a box I’m paying 1k+ gold for. They should have an option to secure a for sure  player reward. Like how they already have the new feature to watch a video for a different reward. I’d much rather pay an extra 250-500 gold per box to know I’m getting a player. 

add me for a game : HighwayMan22

    The fact that there have been 10 new threads on the same subject shows there really is a problem. Im with you i went 0-11 on boxes. I have no problem “spending” money but as of late i feel like im “wasting” money. Time to put it towards madden lol.  I think the reroll idea is great.. id throw 200 extra gold at a pick even if it were only like a 10% odds increase.

    I've come to a moment of clarity and enlightenment over the last week or so.

    GLU is not an honest or ethical company. They quite clearly manipulate the odds of many aspects of their product to create advantages and disadvantages ultimately leading users to spend more money to chase something that's not really there.

    In many respects, they're lucky they haven't yet been subjected to state or federal laws regarding honest disclosures for gaming and gambling providers. No one should be surprised if they were to discover that the best rewards are always claimed first by their friends, colleagues, and themselves.

    The evidence to support this is fairly well documented and all but admitted by GLU's customer service. They'll gladly admit they play the game themselves and enjoy certain perks.

    To be clear, Tap Baseball is properly considered a gambling product. You pay money for a chance at a reward based on supposed odds.

    In any other gambling sector, giving your employees casino credits to play against other non employees would lead to fines or worse. Giving them loaded dice to roll at the craps table would end your gaming license.

    We know all of this. They are not honest. They are not ethical. They are not good people. They're con artists.

    But, they've made an enjoyable game.

    We can either accept the reality of GLU's chicanery and subterfuge, even when we get the raw end of the deal.

    Or, we can move on to something else.

    They're not going to change. They have no reason to. Their revenue year over year is up across all games. Their stock price, while still stuck barely above junk status, looks stable at the moment. No matter how poorly they perform or treat their users, a large portion continue to spend time and money on the game.

    I like the game, so I'll continue to play when I'm enjoying myself. When I no longer derive enjoyment, I won't play. Simple as that.

    Yesterday, the game gave me no pleasure. So, I didn't play at all. Today, I played a couple minutes of free energy and decided to streak for max individual tier in the weekend event. Once I got there, I moved on to something else.

    Namaste motherfuckers!

    Weekend bonus points are unfair for those who bought 10+ boxes and still didn't get a bonus player. Half of my club buys 2 boxes tops and gets a bonus player.  The other half of my club has bought 10 weekend boxes and received xp from every last one of them. There's no teams points this weekend which makes it even less interesting. I'm unselfishly thinking of the multitude of players this weekend in the same boat as I am in. Its laughable and glu you should be ashamed this weekend. Took the $ hungry schemes way too far this time, imo.
    Miss the RBraves..

    Glu is very honest in posting the odds for every purchase. It's not their fault if anyone assumes that they know math better than Glu. If you have a 5/1000 chance to get a legend in a box, it's the same odds each time. That doesn't mean you can buy 1000 boxes and get 5 legends. You have the same 5/1000 chance for every purchase. Percentages don't stack on each other when you increase the number of tries. If you flip a coin, there's a 50/100 chance of it landing on heads. The odds don't change the more you flip it. The odds are quite long with many boxes, but they're obviously stated and you have to make purchases based on your confidence against those odds. You just can't cheat math. Just my 2 cents.
