GGG is going to take a loss of around 1/2 a million to host their event. Check the last Baeclast with Chris talking about this in case you missed it. So $180 for a concert that will give, oh, 5 hours of entertainment at best (assuming you also like Slipknot), vs $300 for probably close to 20 hours of entertainment. Quantity wise, there's no argument, but quality is subjective. I suppose it depends on your weighting of quality and intensity of entertainment I just don't see any sort of hefty convincing argument here unless a person is either a serious Tallica fan or much prefers a short live experience over a longer, multimedia one with more personal interaction with folks sharing the same specific interest. Biases: I've seen Metallica four times in the past 20 years, and reckon I've paid far less for better metal gigs many times since. I friggin' can't stand nu metal. And I haven't been to a global PoE meetup and I find this community very fascinating. Value is subjective, i get that. what im saying is i love GGG, i think they are great....but they aint Metallica. bias aside, they've been killin it for 37 years and are THE biggest metal band on the planet, they could charge $500 per ticket and probably still sell out, but they dont.(unlike certain singers whos names rhyme with maline peeon) to use another example we have a con every year in Auckland called Armageddon, tickets to that are usually under $80, granted the crowd there is way bigger, but then so is the venue and the celebs that attend for autographs etc. now what i dont know is what the exclusive MTX is, but i dont imagine it will be $200 worth of value. also going to slayer/Anthrax tonight, $120 Last edited by frontline111 on Mar 14, 2019, 2:44:07 PM	Posted by frontline111 on Mar 14, 2019, 2:43:01 PM Quote this Post

Yeah fuck that lol. Can afford it but do I want to drop $300 on unknown MTX which is all I really care about to be honest. Yeah nah. I'd prob be more inclined if you announced what the MTX actually was. I'd be pissed if I paid that for a measily helm or footprints.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned you can upgrade tickets like supporter packs, and Bex mentioned there will be another wave of VIP sales, so buying a standard ticket now and upgrading when the next wave of VIPs release is a viable option.

if I buy VIP ticket can I kick those devs'/QA folks' asses for free? daym, I'd even add a couple of hundreds for that opportunity the way you cover your code with QA is ridiculous and weird taking the outcome into consideration is that so difficult to double-check the client on different VMs/physical machines? cmon it's 2019 not 2002-2004, we have huge capabilities nowadays and instead people with high/top-end PCs face huge fps drops just because some lazy stupid arse hasn't tested piece of the code wake the fk up finally	Posted by fabregas88 on Mar 15, 2019, 3:36:50 AM Quote this Post
