Malachyte-KT Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 They are going ahead with the class action lawsuit against EA for Lootboxes. YongYea is a little pretentious but he at least is good with sources. This is a big deal going on atm because outcome and ramifications can apply to games like Aion in NA, Austraila, and Europe with things like the transformation boxes, crafting events like with the Celestial weapons, and any other event or sale that requires extremely low odds RNG and that amounts to gambling and contribute to gambling addiction.

Hoarror-KT Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 @Kibbelz@Loki@Hime What does this mean for AION? What is the plan of action for this up and coming possibility? Hopefully you at NCwest/NCsoft are able to start thinking about this now and be proactive about it rather than reactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 There is a video about this(for the life of me i can not remember the name) in Korea's side of this issue. All that came of it in Korea was that they have to show %'s of being able to obtain something so it will not go away but players can make more informed decisions.

Tbqh that'd be much better than what's right now. As much as I love this other game, I hate the most desirable cosmetics (thank god it's only cosmetics) being gated behind RNG boxes that you don't know the rates on, let alone having necessary items gated behind RNG.

5sB1C19-DN Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Well.. the p2w people might as well all file the class action lawsuits and watch NC pick a decision on how they want to handle it. They purposely do not list the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what's really funny? If they made an ultimate xform on BCM for 8000 BCM they would make so much money it would break the NCSoft quarterly earnings. It's hilarious to think about, but they aint running this game to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hilarious to think about, but they aint running this game to make money. 8000 would be too cheap the way transformations are going. They had titles(aion chosen and maybe some others) ranging from 4k to 8k in packs with other items. Also brokerable, so instead of players buying from gold from gold sellers, they would buy from NC instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
