[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 280742, member: 134"] I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at this. We actually ripped quite a bit on this for the podcast this week, but the fact it gets even worse as you level up, wow. I sorta ran into this with the Skillz app, which FarSight and Zen have games on. Each time you play a match, you earn 'ticketz' which in turn can be used for prizes. As you progress, you can earn multipliers to more quickly earn ticketz. Your progress bar to the next multiplier however resets each month, and it is virtually impossible to get there without a) playing an obscene amount of matches, for which b) you can only play if you have money to spend for each game. Remember, this is an actual game you can win cash from, but you have to have money in your account to play. I was on a crazy win streak, during a weekend where all ticketz totals from wins were doubled, and I still couldn't get from 2x to 3x. Wanna no why? 1x to 2x you need to earn 250 ticketz 2x to 3x you need to earn 50,000 3x to 4x you need to earn 150,000 4x to 5x you need to earn 400,000 5x to 6x you need to earn 800,000 That first jump up is no joke and is not even a nice way of dangling a carrot in front of the donkey. It's downright a punch to the face coupled with a kick to the balls. Sadly, I think FarSight sees this and goes, "seems fair". I mean hey, you can actually purchase a Porshe with your ticketz winnings in this game, [I]just by playing[/I]! Isn't that something? So when I read the whole leveling up thing MBeeching posted above, I just had to shake my head and laugh. It's beyond absurd, so laughably unachievable, and all for what isn't even a new style of game play or anything, but for a freakin' skin! It literally has next to no value, something you'd pay 79 cents for in Tomb Raider so Lara can wear her 'classic' outfit instead of the modern one. I don't even have VR and this sets me off. [/QUOTE]
