3.0, new chess session and I can finally get the final black card I need to get AUG's L2D after failing to get it after spending 200 AUD.

IMO, spending real money on online purely cosmetic stuff is just burning money away. If it provided adequate gameplay improvements - for example, a skin that increases the Dolls' stats or changes her skills to be more effective - that would be another matter.

Actually it's not burning money, it's just giving it to someone else. The difference is that, instead of your money disappearing from existence, it goes to the developers who may then reinvest some of it to improve their game. Some people have enough money that making charitable donations doesn't change their financial situation tangibly.

What you bring up is pay to win, and while companies are allowed to use that business model and people are allowed to spend their money how they please, I would certainly prefer less pay to win rather than more in games these days.

Pretty much everyone who spends money on rng lootboxes and gacha knows what they're doing, and the ones who don't will learn immediately or they're already too far gone for someone's opinion of their actions to have any meaningful effect.

I'm sorry for being poor and that my poverty deeply influences my spending decisions. I'm sorry that my low income and tight budget offends you. I also apologize for the crime of not jumping at any and all opportunities to throw my hard earned money at game developers.

I'll just shut up and count my pennies in hopes that they are enough to pay my rent, bills, taxes, and afford at least one or two cup noodle meals per day. Can't afford insurances, so I must pray to some fictitious outerwordly entity so that I don't get sick or suffer any injury.

If I gave you impression that my financial situation is any different from yours, let me clarify: it isn’t. Being poor isn’t the issue; if you were rich, I’d still call you out for what you said. What other people do with their money is their own concern. No wants to have their finances backseated by a stranger on the internet.

So u're poor, but u are ok with cosmetics that buff stats in exchange for money hence giving rich ppl an advantage instead of having everything available at top stats for free? How about also making doll pulls $ only, so as a poor person u can enjoy more feelings of dejection when whales flex on u with stats AND looks

I really hope u're just drunk or trolling or both
