The Dragon Hunter Weapon Effect

Only suitable for 2-handers?

This isn't a flame but that sword only looks hot.

Bad effect evne in 4k and high fps. Not gonna pay for it. Call to ur low devs in graps and FX taht must overcome oneself better, cos their CV says the opposite.

19$... More than the price of grand theft auto five currently and already the replies are full of gushing obsequious praise.

If anything ever does finally drive me away from this casino it'll be the mind numbing and admittedly brilliant manipulation of your playerbase's emotions.

Just astounding. Really.

And you, before you whiteknight for tencent in your reply to me, ask yourself why the wiki model won't work here. Because if it would, ask yourself why you aren't advocating for them to use that model.

Because being greedy and shady pays better. Period. Know what you are defending, why, and be honest about it.

A 100% optional, cosmetic effect, that is exactly what they say it is, and has a fixed price, that will like all other effects, eventually be on sale.

That is your definition of shady?

Seems your emotions are overriding your ability to see the situation rationally.

You realize that's double think? On the one hand you assert it's significant enough to justify a 20$ price tag for anyone, and on the other dismiss it as completely trivial enough for anyone to ignore.

Which is it? Is it valueless or valuable? Honestly explore your answer, don't just try to win by recycling my own comment. (I was the one that brought up emotional manipulation.)

Post history, Qiox. Post. History.

Why be coy? Though if you are implying you read my history, I thank you for the time spent, but more likely it's empty snark. In my experience people rarely read anything they don't expect to agree with in advance.

That said, GGG my body is ready for the new packs, then we will see where i will spend the points hahaha

Ps: Natalia we love you <3

And some people are so deep in grip of post purchase rationalization they have emotionally identified with a for-profit subsidiary of a 500 billion dollar company to the point they will attack real people in defense of a 20$ virtual item texture.

And they'll joke about being that company's concubine like it's cute as opposed to apple store cultist dystopian.

These economic and psychological interactions are strong evidence that democracy is a myth. As it is strongly implied that whoever best plays the crowd's subconscious is the one actually in charge.

“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

In any case I'll happily stipulate to being whatever evil or badness you need me to be if it will get you looking at the argument instead of the messenger.

Just pretend I'm Lucifer if it lets you move on.

Advocating for reform here is an interesting microcosm of persuasion generally.

Your mention of need is fascinating since it implies you believe there are no stakes here. And yet I'm sure when the time comes to defend the model you'll resort to the devs gotta eat argument suddenly implying the stakes are literally starvation.

More double think.

nice one :D the sword looks great two ... looks pretty simmilar to the rathalos longsword from monster hunter :,D

Not being coy. It's something I often say when people seem surprised at someone's posts. You clearly have a bone to pick with TencentGGG's pricing and financial model, as your post history confirms. I honestly don't care either way -- As the biggest whale PoE has ever and likely ever will see, I've engaged with that pricing and financial model in ways you never will, so why would I care what you think there? It has brought me greater joy and greater disappointments than it ever will you, little fish. :P

But seriously, that's all I meant. That people should take advantage of public post history before responding to someone who clearly has an agenda and is on the warpath. Sure enough, the majority of your recent posts were about this subject.

Ahh. If you want more post history for me: Underlore.com

As for my warpath, it's because of timing. These are the first real post-tencent money making efforts. The window closes with the release of the core supporter packs.

Ultimately the problem is my over estimation of how widespread human rationality is. I'm attempting to adjust my belief to match the evidence. The fact that I have to make this effort partially explains why I have to make it: Human belief is not rational of its own accord. I'm not even sure it should be.

Put simply, I expect my post history to change. We'll see.

Again thanks for taking the time to "listen" to what I have to say more than most. Even if you disagree, indeed more so if you disagree, I appreciate it.
