Seriously, thanks for having the balls to upload this. You may have saved some people a tonne of money and highlighted how nefarious some aspects of the game can be. This event has been designed to get people to behave just as you just did. I'll leave it to others to decide if they think that's ok or not. Again, that took balls. Hope you feel ok.

If anyone is curious or if MobileGamer wants to hurt a bit more, that streak of 5 Bastila's in a row where he walked out of the room had a .032% chance of happening which is more than 3 times less likely than pulling a 330 in those packs (0.10% chance)
@ivanzivkovic75726 жыл бұрын
that particular streak is very improbable to happen in those particular 5 pulls but in a general distribution, when looking at the whole picture, it doesn't matter when and in which order they were pulled as they are all independent events only the full number of Bastila pulls out of all the pulls he did actually bears meaning, everything else is purely psychological (also, if you're going to count only those particular 5 pulls, the chance for at least one 330 pull in those 5 pulls is a bit higher actually (although not by very much since it's small numbers)
@jamesmott51816 жыл бұрын
That's taking into account those numbers are true. Who is really fact checking CG? No one. We just take a company who feeds on humans (adults and children's) weakness towards gambling.
@doom92466 жыл бұрын
Technically, every streak of 5 pulls that MobileGamer got had a ".032%" chance of happening... ex. if he pulled bastilla, then jolee, then t3-m4, then zaalbar, then mission vao, that would still be a .032% chance. so correct math, but not sure how it applies...?
@HoHhoch4 жыл бұрын
@@doom9246 That .032% applies only if you're looking for a SPECIFIC streak of 5 pulls. Getting 5 Bastilla pulls in a row is extremely unlikely. Getting a streak of Bastilla, Jolee, T3, Zaalbar, then Mission in any order in those 5 pulls is not only much more likely, it's much more preferable. So how does it apply? Mobilegamer is extremely unlucky for getting that hit of Bastillas.

This is the perfect example of why the business model of this game is so utterly disgusting. It is gambling, and it takes advantage of people in horrible ways. And let's not forget that it's completely unnecessary. It's just greed. They could make an insane profit from just cosmetic options (imagine how much money they'd make off skins for Revan). Look how much money people spend on cosmetics for games like CS:GO, R6:Siege, LoL, etc. and you'll realise that the horrid nature of this game is just so unnecessary.
@collateraldamage71726 жыл бұрын
The reason these games are actually dangerous is, because of the nature of the human mind. As long as you not pay a dime, you are not involved, but if you start making payments.. After a while, you will realize, that you pay more and more, and that it is not easy to quit. This is called the "game theory". It is sort of an addiction, based on sacrifice. Once you "lost" enough money you start feeling remorse, but you will also feel that all your sacrifices will be without a reason, if you quit, and do not get wat you want, Victory. So you keep spending your money, and you are getting more and more desperate as your goal is getting closer. There is no winner however in these games, as thousands of people are playing and there always be a new character or a game update, and there always be a stronger gladiator, who have more in the pocket. These games are usually good, but highly addictive, well constructed by using the weak spots of the human mind, and worst than gambling, because you are gambling without a chance of winning back something.

The nature of funds turning into crystals turning into shards without handling any actual currency can do this. You spent the money, now it's phony crystals. You spend a ton of crystals, get close to the end, and it's really easy to say "screw it" and keep clicking instead of taking pause and realizing there may be a more efficient way. I guarantee that if this was all done with dollars instead of crystals, there would have been a moment of reflection while paying that would have led to more efficient farming.

Mobile gamer, look at the ‘high roller’ comment every time you spend gold in MSF. It triggers the same dopamine rush that gambling does. That’s the part of mobile games and gambling that can be considered predatory. You’re correct that if you have an addictive personality that you have to watch yourself.

Only spent a bit on for jtr and cls when their events came around for the first time. Thanks to you I can put my mind at ease and forget about feeling bad for not getting revan... I gotta go to my guild chat and post a positive message to those who worked for revan...

This was painful just to watch....kudos to you for doing this though. The silver lining of this event for me has been seeing you, Ahnald, and Cubs FanHan doing these types of videos. Makes the best of a bad situation and at least I get to see some people getting Revan!

I was nervous for you MG! That was hard to watch without getting squirrely along with you. However I’m super impressed by your forthcoming attitude with the gambling addiction aspect of this. I’m all for spending if you have it and it’s controlled spending but I know for a lot it’s a very serious problem. Kudos to you for broaching a difficult subject. Well done.

Mobile; I think its really good for you to be linking this experience with your addictions experience. i think its crucial that this reality be shown that these types of games are actually really devious, and like companies that sell alcohol, pharms, and gambling, EA is in a big way, preying on us. through our love of SW we are being manipulated. these online games have really taken pay to play to a new and ludicrous level. i have in fact stopped playing strike force due to its obscene pay wall. i think its brave of you to express your feelings. thanks for the best of content . keep it coming.

$400 for a single character on a mobile game which could get shut off in 6 months or a year ? (quite unlikely, but the day the servers go down, you're left with nothing) That's (way) too much. Especially since you'll be able to get Revan in F2P in a few months.

Thanks for this video MG. You hit the nail on the head with people susceptible to addiction. The Revan requirements gave me the push to quit the game and this is the first video I've watched after avoiding them for a week. I gave up two 3m GP accounts and a HSTR guild which I was an officer in. Although I miss the people from the guild it's the end of the road for me. Thanks again

I'm also in recovery, and after seeing his kit I started scheming and plotting in my head for how to obtain Revan. After seeing this, I'm not touching this event at all this time. Thanks for that, really
