I love this game and I love GGG for providing it to us. A lot of people praise GGG as one of the few ethical free to play game developers out there with ethical microtransactions. I think that would be true if they didn't offer gambling boxes. I would love to agree with people about them being the most ethical gaming company but it just isn't true anymore with them selling gambling boxes.

On the other hand, they do have to make money in order to provide this wonderful game to us. If they go broke because they don't sell loot boxes, I think that would also suck.

I think GGG has a few options.
1) Keep selling gambling boxes but don't claim to be a super ethical gaming company anymore.
2) Stop selling gambling boxes and you can claim to be the most ethical free to play gaming company again. This could have the major downside that they don't make enough money to offer as much to us as they do.


What about

3. People start becoming realistic and drop this millenia attitude.
Can't wait for loot boxes to go rekt in the EU (it may happen actually).

No hard feeling toward GGG using tools to make some monies. Some hard feelings toward GGG's investors fucking us in the ass hard as they're the reason we got that shit and some other problem like no action being taken to improve trade issues.

It is gambling. I'd forbid or stop my kid doing any of that shit.

Talk about "ethical" and train / teach youngster to be gambling addicts. Righttttttttt!

I will stop talking about gambling boxes and how terrible they are in the video game industry when they are banned or heavily regulated.

Not just gambling is evil but the mtx itself. Look at the prices.. 1 item or full game with discount from steam?

Its ridicilous :( Yes we can support ggg but the prices are exorbitant.
I dislike rarity so much im almost quitting poe2. GGG.
Another game I play has these gambling boxes too. Mostly they have appearance items in them. If you were to say, buy a pack of 5, and a dupe comes up, it is automatically traded in for gems, how many depends on the in game currency cost of the item. You can then use these gems to get other MTX. Cosmetic, pots, etc. It would be cool if GGG did something like this.
And as far as those who are down on people complaining about gambling threads, this is real money being used here. If it were in game currency, then yeah, there would be no room to bitch. But since this is real cash people are using on these gambling boxes, some sort of exchange system isnt too much to ask for when duplicate items are pulled out of the boxes. Spend 50 bux of your own cash on this crap and see how much bitching comes from it when you get a shitload of the same damn wings, back flag, what the fuck ever that thing is.

Lootboxes are a cancer of the game industry. Its quite "meh" in a free to play game (still cancer), but in full released game with a price tag, its just a supercancer, that should be killed with fire.
