It's disgusting. Before I get "u mad br0?" from the "mature" forum members, I just don't support EC being in presents because that's not the way EC was meant to be obtained and that's not the point of gift GIVING.

This isn't directed towards you by the way, Austin.

Answer me this, whats the difference in people doing gift 4 gift? Forcing another player to gift you is giving? Lol

I need to stop supporting the derailment of threads. Keep the thread on topic or make a new one to discuss your opinions.

There's not really a difference if your goal only remains to see how much you can benefit yourself. Giving gifts isn't really "giving" if you're forcing it or if you're only in it to benefit yourself.

Nothing much can be done since that's what people desire.
In every RPG game, there'll always be a few who spend loads of money just to purchase something for 'beneficial purposes' unless something were to be done that prevents p2w from occurring.

Again they dont support era or snk
All the money spent by graalers all go to Unixmad
So basically snk works to keep forums and iEra uo and gains no profit from either of them

Point is people act like ituners are a disgrace.

A lovely thing called personal choice.

Actually without iTunes
Unixmad just wouldnt be making profit from iEra
Snk even said himself on a thread that any money used on graal does not go to him

Yes, however buying itunes to just give presents to yourself? There's better things to buy.

Where's our better quality servers?

Our better quality servers....Nice joke.

I just want the truth about the probability. And i want everyone to know what it is. Maybe less presents will be bought if people knew that the chance of a gun from presents is actually next to nothing. I dont want people to learn the hard way like i did.

the probability of earning ecs through events is still greater than the probability of earning ecs through presents.

Am I the only guy who give gifts for a gift in return?

I'm just following the Christmas spirit.

pls gib me 38283837 gfts n I wnt noscop u #mlg420

Im not in it for the ec, i never was. this is about the present system. Why are we all (especially me) buying these presents with no knowledge of what is in them, and what the chances are of anything. Like seriously, theres not even any particular discription on any of the presents. Last year i watched people trade hundreds of presents, expecting they would get a chance at a gold souizen, in the end they found out they were opening "the wrong presents." I dont know if any of you realize this, but we should not be buying anything these presents expecting the same stuff from last year. I think there should be vague descriptions, and statistics in the description of the presents.

For example:

This is a pink present. W% chance of melee, X% chance of ec, Y% of gun1 and Z% of gun2

There is no reason that this should not be implimented except it would make presents less attractive to buy.

Gifts should be a suprise. Not knowing what's in them is the best part of opening them (well in real life). I would like to know too, however I'm not too worried about it. I might be giving a buttload of presents when I'm able to be on Era full time again :P only to friends, unless I feel like in a giving mood and no one begs me for them.

I agree with Mystic lol, if you were giving a present to a friend/family should you tell them what's inside? of course NOT, the element of surprise just makes it that tad more special ;)

I've got 85+ gifts, everyone who gives me a gift I give him another present, but I do not say that in public, the gifts are from our hearts, not just to get some items and get scammed.

And yes the chances are very low, I remember hearing 0.02 last year, but eitherway knowing the percentage doesn't increase your chance of getting it, it's just luck.

---

It's not that low, I asked people and they said they got like 40'ec from 500 presents and 25 from 250. If it was 0.02% there would be no sense in buying presents for yourself. If I were to guess based on what I've heard, the chances are most likely 8-10% per $500 presents.

Even if it was .02%, you still could get 2 presents, in a row, with ec in it. It's all just based on luck with the presents you get.

It's the most beautiful time of the year,
Lights fill the streets spreading so much cheer,
I should be playing in the winter snow,
But Imma be under the mistletoe.

Okay, im not going to be vulgarly explicit with you.

Its not .002%, .02%, or .2% chance of ec. Its .002% chance of getting a gun from presents. Because i have been told that, others have been told that.

For all you people know, you could be getting just food and some 6 damage melees from these presents. Apparently that doesent bother you.

This thread was never about the ec.
