About the lottery thing...

may I interpret it this- "eligible to win a prize"

as: So you can win a prize, but you might not... so you pay something but you might / might not win something..


But Remis, you DO "win" something for sure... or they could argue that we're paying for a random product.. (i don't suppose lucky dip was illegal?!)

Would that be the difference between lottery and remi?

I know what you mean I really want tem puppy ears~

Btw the puppy ears are now available in cash shop for 2445

That might be a way they justify it.

I normally do not rage at/towards Outspark. Because I know a lot of what they do within the game is controlled by outside sources.

However, they constantly tell us that they can and do have control over the cash shop. Therefore, I am really getting annoyed with Outspark.

They are treating Remi's as their freakin' gold-maker. If you want any of the cool new stuff - Sorry, you have to gamble with your money to get it.

I do not f'ing think so. You want my money Outspark, then do not make me gamble to get the cool new stuff. I work hard for my money and with the economy the way it is, trust me! I can find a better way to spend my damn money.

Put the damn new stuff in the actual shop - do not make people gamble to get it. Give us the option of buying it for "oh lets just say 3500Sparkcash or taking a chance and being able to grab a 3500SC outfit for Only 1500Sc". But please do not make it the only way to get your crap.

Seriously.

I am getting so fed up with that. I realize that the cash shop is one of their main sources of income/profit. But, it is to the point that I will not put anymore money on my account. I will use what is on there and I am done with it, unless they quit this stupid shit.

I can agree with you on a few points. But there are things you must realize.

1. If they put a cooler item in Remi's about 5 days before the actual release, Do you know how much money is spent trying to get it on average?

It's a marketing tactic.

2. If you got a great item every time you played Remi's, Would it really be benefiting OS? Noway, They need you to STRUGGLE to get the Mesa Pegasus
Or the Iron Case.

Now i've played Remi's lots of times, And not once have i gotten anything useless, I always get the 30 day Critical costumes or accessories, Extenders, and potions, And from time to time, A cool mover. It's matter of taste, I suppose, Why spend 3k SC on a SC potion, When for 1500 you could easily get the 200,000 HP potion or something. I'd say it's a pretty good deal, But i also agree that the price of the items in Remi's Should be actually 1500SC give or take 500SC or so. But sure, Keep the rare items in there, More people would definitely play it if there was a higher chance of getting something actually useful or worth the money they just spent.

I wonder if they're being regulated by California's Gaming Commission. From my understanding, the only lottery that is authorized to operate there is the official state one. Since it's on the internet, they'd be liable to comply with various other state regulations as well and that would enter into Federal territory. Hmm.

Edit: Yay for Google.

A lottery is a plan or scheme for disposing of a prize (money or something
of value) predominantly by chance to people who have paid something of
value for the opportunity of getting the prize.
Except for the state-run lottery, certain charitable bingo games, and
raffles conducted by certain private non-profit organizations, lotteries are
illegal in California.
A lottery is composed of three elements:
• A prize (for example, money, an automobile, a vacation, or the right to play a free game)
• Payment of consideration to be eligible to win a prize (for example, 25
cents in exchange for a bingo card, or the purchase of a product sold by the sponsoring company)
• Distribution of the prize by chance

If one of these three elements is missing, then the scheme is not a lottery

Having lotteries in California is illegal.......

But legalising Mariijuana so they can get the state out of debt is not?

What has the world come to?

[Hraesvelg]

The primary reason they don't want other lotteries is because they want to be the only game in town.

Understandable, But don't most lotteries just work for the same big company?
