Yes, I agree, me too.

And maybe you just need to understand that it is the "random" that LL wants to end. It's not rocket science.

LOL YES, that will hurt Linden Lab. While you are at it for the SLexit, send Linden Lab a few huge bags of nuts. I mean, some American CableTV did cave in going further with a tv show that got cancelled. Maybe that will help keeping gachas for your enjoyment around.

Yeah, that is what I mostly do anyways. If I like something, I look for resellers on the MP. Instead of trying to get it from a gacha that most times, gives me things I don't want. It's then cheaper to buy it from a reseller.

A creator, that only relies on the income of gachas, is a creator that only does it for the money. I get it, make as much money as possible and get rich quickly paying out that huge amount of real dollars. Because it is many people that throw in thousands and thousands of L$'s at a gacha. And that is why, it will be a good thing gachas come to an end. Solves getting in debts in the real world too.

Then, I am sorry to say... it is a gacha. Acts as a gacha. Because if you want for example item #12, and currently it is item #4. You have to buy item #4. And next it's gonna be item #9. There is no difference, it doesn't make things better with showing the item you are getting and hovertext..

Fine, I will try to answer your question. The difference is, selling items randomly on that vendor you keep mentioning it is maybe an option to continue, is not at all different. Yes, you can see what is up for sale. But what if someone would not want that what is showing. Have to buy it anyways so the next item shows up? And if that is not the item someone wants. Have to buy it regardless so the vendor shows the next randomized item that will be up for sale? Now, how is that not same as a gacha? Unless, I missed something and a purchase is not required for the next item to show up.

You don't have to edit all your previous posts about this. This new kind of vendor, still acts the same like a gacha.

I really do dislike that new kind of vendor even more where I have to buy every item that shows up randomly. In hopes that finally, finally maybe after 20 items I don't want to have, need to be bought, so the item I do like, comes. That is no difference to any current gacha out there right now. It is the same way.

Maybe, that logic goes up for you... But it doesn't for anyone else, that maybe does not want all of the items that gacha has showing on the picture. You can try to bend it all you want, in the end, it is one random item of about, 20+ other items you might get. And take into account, you ending up with so many duplicates as well. And the duplicates, is probably the whole issue of debate next to all this being random why Linden Lab wants to end gachas. You do not go to a store and buy 20 of the same dress or whatever, or do you?

I had a breedable, a Meeroo. It was male, my friend had a female. I was happy thinking, 'thank gawd, I won't get more of them'. Until the day I logged in to a message, "congratulations. your meeroo just gave birth."

Sure, you do have a right to gamble at casinos that are legal in the real world. You do not have a right to gamble in Second Life as it is forbidden to do so. That is why gambling got banned in Second Life years ago. Pretty much end of the story.

Yeah, because this isn't Jurassic Park where life found a way.

And how would that work out to implement such thing? I am from one of those countries that restricts sales of lootboxes in the real life. To implement such restriction inworld is pretty much a ridiculous thing. Banning residents based on country will only hurt Linden Labs and Second Life. I do not even go to the skilled gaming regions. But your solution is basically a much more crazy one similar to the you know what, travel ban. And you said, 'sims'. Linden Labs should send you to the cornfields for a week.

I really hope not. This would be the worse kind of loophole for gachas to continue. Specially when the prizes are no-trans.
