Now lets say you've been saving up for 2 weeks to get 63 dollars when your other siblings just spend it on whatever or save it up or whatever. Now lets say you bought a 63 dollar phone. A few days later your mom decides to give everyone who doesn't already have one the same phone. Wouldn't you feel like you got ripped off and wouldn't you want your siblings to have to work for that phone instead of just it being given away?

I don't really see any significant differences between the examples I gave and your example...

Economically speaking, this is totally destructive behavior. You are destroying total net value because of your "grudge." It really doesn't affect you either way whether your siblings get a free phone or not. The money you've spent on the phone is a sunk cost--you're not getting that money back either way.

Now... is this "fair?" I think that's a completely different question and totally subjective at that.

It's essentially the same concept.

I wouldn't call it a grudge more like i'm just mad or think it's unfair. We pretty much wasted the time and efforts into corki when everyone is getting him by just doing nothing. I'd rather make it fair and have them work for it. And if your going to play that "life isn't unfair" thing, then yes I know, but we have a voice and riot will listen to us which is why they made the topic so we'll do anything we can to persuade them into not giving him free. And really, what's wrong with just giving the skin to everyone like the promised? Just the skin. Or have corki in the rotation for 2-3 weeks after the skin is released.

Let's put this in your perceptive. Let's say teemo cost 6300 ip. You've been saving up for teemo for a while. Your a casual player so it'll probably take you two weeks or more to gain that ip. Then you bought him, shortly after everyone is getting a free teemo skin and the champion itself, wouldn't you be mad and not want that to happen? Or would you not care?

Not only that, its corki, with the horrible ass MM now and nubs everywhere, he isn't really an easy champ.

I mean if that happened with twitch it might even make me quit hehe...

I really don't think I would care too much either way. Yeah, maybe I would be a little irritated at Riot for not doing it sooner, but since I already spent the IP and there's no way to get it back, it really doesn't matter to me whether they give out a free Teemo or not.

I can see why people wouldn't want Corki given out. It dilutes the rarity of the item they invested in, thus reducing at least perceived value.

So if there was a poll you would vote for teemo to be given out away for free?

**Ralath** · 01-19-2010, 04:13 AM

Yeah. For sure.

I made a post on why I think sc2 will end LoL and other games, people didn't like it so it got closed due to too many thumbs down. Then I made a thread titles"-4 enough to close a thread? Really?" they didn't like it either so it got closed due to the same reason.
