I am at the Crystals Hearts event today. Which is a good reminder for me as to why I can't really enjoy these events. 100 stalls with almost 100% gacha items. I want to spend money, but I can't be a responsible consumer by gambling for 100% of the items that I desire. Beyond the legal implications, its easy to see why so many people want this gone.

It just feels like everyone is trying to come up with some idea that is essentially the same thing. Just with more layers to try and hide what it is. I really don't think this will fly.

Plenty, but the user base doesn't get to dictate the laws of nations. So while I am not surprised this conversation is 60 pages long, nothing anyone has to say here is going to reverse this. The only reason they would change this now, is because there is outside pressure to do so.

Yeah that sounds like it would likely get the legs clipped out from under it. Wouldn't go scripting that just yet. EDIT - Aren't you just gambling to see the next item then? The more I think about it, the more it sounds like the same thing.

I avoid no-modify items. Just like I avoid gacha. If folks business begins to dry up from this, they will undoubtedly offer modify items. Content creators often work together, but at the same time they are also in competition with each other. If dollars are being left on the table, someone is going to reach for them. I've seen several cases where a vendor offers a no mod version and then a mod version for a higher price. I always reach for the mod version.

LL wouldn't do this if they didn't feel some sort of regulator pressure. So don't expect them to reverse it. Just get started converting items over to single sell or fatpacks. I am in full support of anything in the gaming industry that removes lootbox/gambling mechanics.
