THUMBZ DOWN. I'd like my money back for investing in gacha scripts and machines and the uploads for advertisements for it. How about that, will you pay me my money back? It's why I spend most of my time someplace else now. Edited August 5, 2021 by ChicYoda 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Whimsy Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Is it really necessary to make a new thread as opposed to posting in the actual discussion one? My magic 8 ball says NO. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arielle Popstar Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Not really a discussion thread over there. Mostly just trollers. And yeah, LL could have come up with an alternative solution to the Gacha's before bringing the hammer down on them. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Amore Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 What ever did we do before gachas? Oh yes, we paid for the goods we actually wanted, without the 95% chance of failure. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicYoda Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 @So Whimsy I was forced to make a new thread topic because the current one is in fact broken and is not allowing me to post. Maybe they can fix that too. So to answer your question, YES. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting just for the purpose of getting a thread locked is a good way to get yourself banned -- and not just this sock puppet account, but all of your accounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LL did not come up with gachas in the first place, so why would LL have to come up with an alternative? Nearly everything you can find in SL started as the idea of, and is made by one or more members of the community. So it is up to the community to come up with an alternative, and the community will. It may take a short while or a long time, but someone will come up with an alternative. Maybe you! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is likely not allowing you to post because you were probably using an account that is new to the forums and those accounts are limited to 5 posts on their first day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicYoda Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 @TDD123 I don't have that much gacha items, maybe 1%, but I still spent my own money doing it, and time lets not forget that, it's extremely time consuming. Just think of the people that it's all they do basically, how much money they spent on uploads, spending their own money for something that will now ban them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelodicRain Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hey look it's another gambling addict displaying withdrawal symptoms. Here's an idea, go play a mobile freemium cash grab, connect your wallet, and tap on the shiny stuff. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Nothing interesting to see here.

I've had a script on my land to monitor concurrent users of SL. It's been running for about 10 years now - though I reset it last year and carried the numbers forward... In that time, the average concurrent users has remained almost solidly rock steady. The highest point I ever saw was maybe a decade ago: just over 75,000, but right after my reset I came within a few dozen of meeting it again. The lowest number I ever logged, some 5000 or so, was in the same month as that high value a decade ago. Over all this time, it's remained solidly around 40,000-50,000 during US peak hours, and dipping by about half that for any time of day someone in North America might be awake to look. As in... if it gets lower than that at 3:37am in the morning, I missed seeing it... But point is... SL is not and has NOT been declining. In fact over the last 2 years the average number shifted up by about 5,000 or so, from usually the mid-low 40k range to often the mid-high 40k / low 50k. While being a gambling junkie is popular in SL, I don't imagine it's even a large number of the playerbase. I suspect even most Gatcha users are not junkies - so they will survive the drugs being pulled off the table. Also, isn't ALL discussion of the Gatcha policy change supposed to be here: ?

ChicYoda Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 @MelodicRain Perfect example of a toxic gamer. I'm not going to ask why you even think that or why you didn't read a few of the posts before you spoke. It's about removing and banning it's gamers for using something INGAME, that they spent their own money on and wont be reimbursed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't, that is on them for not doing the necessary research before jumping off the proprietor cliff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are removing a game. They aren't removing anyone's content. They can still sell their content. Like the majority of SL merchants. Just not in a gacha. Get a grip.
