You answered your own "question"... Don't buy random containers and then complain about the randomness. That's like buying a kick in the nuts and then complaining that your balls hurt. 9 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You buy something that claims to offer "a chance" to get something. The percentage of that "chance" is not provided. The mechanics how it works are not made clear and cannot be checked by the customer. Why on earth do you buy it? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the power to you. :-) The only way to have them know you're not okay with this stuff is to not buy into it. Just don't. I read in another thread that somebody bought 200 crates. That's just unhealthy no matter how much cash you have to burn. It's addiction and buying into legitemate but still obscure scammy manipulations of game companies that has shifted the focus of these companies from game design to addiction design. They manufacture designer drugs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
