All legal casinos are obliged to post the payout for each game on the slot machines.. The RDFM rule applies here (read the manual)... Payout is a percentage of the money that will be returned to players for an x amount.. 90% payout means that for 100 dollars, 90 will be returned to players and not that you will win in 90% of the spins.. Ofc 90% doesn't also mean that every player will win 90 dollars for his 100 dollars.. It means that at the end of the month the casino will have returned 90% of all the cash in.. If we are talking about millions, you can understand that 10% profit is too much... I agree with OP that chances should be posted by NC.. However, i cannot help to think that spending so much money without visibility certainly helps the company to continue with their policy, since it is so effective.. And on the other hand, this randomness and this difficulty to obtain top items with crazy spending seems like it's a protection for the not rich players, which is actually the 99% of the players in here.. I am not judging anyone for the ways that he/she desired to spend his money, but this is my opinion on a public forum..

So you remove them from the store without notice (according to event details they should be available until 2/12) and then ask from the players who were fast enough to purchase them to talk to support in oder to get the correct ones... You treat us like @$% once more... Most of the time i feel robbed by the company itseld in this game..

Typical arrogant comment from a representative of the most arrogant class on the servers... Most of you rerolled to an archer just to be OP.. Many of you behaved like you own the whole map.. We know you know.. Now you claim you weren't OP.. What's wrong with you guys? I didn't want to take part in these threads but i cannot tolerate arrogance... Where were you when all the rest of the classes were nerfed?? Where were you when mages were nerfed, when the wynns got nerfed, when sayhas and so many other classes got nerfed?? You were just laughing i guess.. And btw if you really spent 1k per month, where is your problem? You can reach top critical rate in a month again... Oh don't tell me... You are doing it for the community??.... laugh... Bottomline is that we are all "dancing" on the company's rhythm, but 1k per month obviously helped them to follow that path..

That's also correct.. They are careful with the wording they use..

In a roulete, casino has no preference, in both cases some will lose and some will win.. In the case of the OP you have 2 possible outcomes, where 1 is like a jackpot and the other is like a fail.. These events have nothing to do with a roulette, its more like a slot where an algorithm decides the outcome.. No physical rules apply.. Everything works as planned in a casino and you can never beat them.. You may win once but you will lose 50 times.. And yes authorities do check casinos and there is nothing illegal there.. The probabilities work in the billions.. If you can't try 5 billion times, it's "your fault"... This is how RNG works and it's quite legal in casinos.. Take a slot machine for an example, where payout is 90%... You think you will win 9 out of 10 times? You are wrong... You may lose 500 dollars just for fun and the next one may win with just 2 dollars.. Illegal? No, just casino practice.. And believe me i am not taking out of my ass about this..

What you and other ppl are saying is correct on the physical world or when tossing a coin.. However, RNG is not working according to the physical laws.. In gambling aka RNG, you could have huge discrepancies in the results, meaning you could have lot of failed consecutive attempts and then lot of succeses.. What matters is that at the end of a cycle, which could be even a billion of attempts, the nominal percentage is reached.. I am not in any way defending NC or saying that this is what they actually do or they should do, because i don't know.. I am just saying what really happens with RNG/gambling products and to me as a player this is how the events in l2 seem to be working like... My opinion is that this is a game and shouldn't be a casino and more importantly a very expensive one.. I mean there are events here where you can gamble with 500 dollars and get nothing.. This is as close to a scam as it can be if you ask me, and despite that there are ppl who do try.. Add to that, that casinos are being audited and monitored by authorities so more or less they do follow some rules, which is obviously not the case here.. And by the way, there has been some improvement in prices and events over the last few months, but there is much more room for more imo...

I agree with that but there are 2 facts to consider: - They are not being audited or certified by any third party or regulatory body so they can claim everything without consequences and without anybody being able to verify their claims. - Even if the odds are correct, i.e. 50-50, high risk events or odds for expensive items are made in such a way in gambling products that in order to reach the actual percentage, the sample should be as big as billions of attempts.. The best thing to happen for us players, is the gambling regulations to be extended, so that loot boxes' games like l2 are put under strict supervision by authorities, like the rest of the gambling is.. This has been discussed many times in the past here..

Most people have at least 3 accounts for various reasons, so that would be a good idea to make an iss and a tank or maybe a healer for support.. However, i think you should also try to join some parties cause that may help you understand better how the game mechanics work..

unfortunately you have to buy a lot more staff to be able to solo in most areas.. A +6 weapon and armor are considered nothing or just basic as the game is now.. Most probably, the exalted equipment is better.. I would suggest to try to play with parties until you get more items..

Yes i also have to admit that this looks like a good event, right direction.. Thanks @Juji @Hime

I don't fully agree with OP.. In some cases, i need to go to town for 5-10 minutes to perform some basic staff and when i get back i don't want someone else to have already taken my spot.. In other cases, where people leave the spot for hours and expect that by leaving a box there with "spot taken" title, others should not take the spot, then i agree with OP..

The issue with the inventory still remains... The inventory change implemented with the latest update didn't fix this issue.. It seems that the developers DO NOT UNDERSTAND the issue.. I will try to make it clear once more... I have 152 available slots on my inventory... HOWEVER I NEED TO HAVE NO MORE THAN 95 (95/152) OCCUPIED IN ORDER TO CHANGE CLASS (from main to dual and vice versa)... If i have 96 items in my inventory I CANNOT CHANGE.. What's the reason to have 152 available slots when basic funtions do not work if i occupy more than 95... It really is a nightmare when i need to change class..

Customers: We need more areas for 107-111 lvls.. The ones we have are crowded while we have a lot of 115-120 areas which are empty.. Company: OK... We will nerf 107-111 areas and create some more for 116 lvls... Customers: We need more ways to make adena from farming.. Good items are extremely rare and expensive... Company: OK... We hear you... We will nerf adena more, make bosses so nobody can kill and ah... yes we will nerf even Venusta box... 3m was too much... Customers: The odds for enchanting items are close to impossible... The prices are insane.. Company: OK.. We have the solution.. We will create some more expensive L2 store events... Quiz: Find the Company.. I mean come on guys, this company's logo should be next to the definition of FAIL in dictionaries.. They would come 2nd in an one-man race...

Creating a new account to "attack" your enemies is lame imo.. You could use your main forum account to express your opinion.. Accounts with 1 post asking for the harsh punishment of other players are not to be taken seriously.. And in my opinion again, the penalty applied to the ones who exploited the bug was fair because they lost the advantage they obtained through the exploit... If they do it again then a ban would be more fair..
