With respect, you can't have read the thread and you're missing the main points.


1. Lots of people who play and have spent lots of money never saw the EULA before they spent said money.

1a. I still don't see the EULA. I didn't even know about its content until I saw it in this thread. I enter the game, I play the game, I buy as many cards as I want (usually a hundred bucks worth at a time) and I am never presented with the EULA. I am constantly presented with tournie adds, saying how awesome and fun they are.


2. Until recently, SoE let people from anywhere in the world play. They run multiple CCGs over a period of years and have never had this restriction before.


3. Upon testing and introducing the LoN tournie system a couple of months back, SoE ran a whole set of tournies on Euro time for Euro players.


4. There is no legal restraint on Europe as there is in the 7 US States.


5. SoE have consistently refused to acknowledge, comment on or discuss this.




As an aside, I've already said I love the game and will keep buying it. Lots of people have wasted a LOT of money though. SoE should be more upfront and discuss the issue.

Edit: I don't dispute that the items are dropping, they are obviously. I am disputing the rate. If they want to amend the "1 in 8" to read "1 in 8" for "some people" or "most people" or "if you are lucky" or remove it all together, then I would have to shut up about it. I didn't choose to advertise a drop rate that is fictional, they did.

They don't need to amend shit. If it's 1 in 8, as long as there's 1 loot per 8 packs across ALL packs, then they are fine. Some schmo could get a box of boosters and get a loot item in every booster, while a ton of people could open boosters and not get any, and as long as it averages out to 1 every 8, it's not false advertisement.

Now, some CCG companies will say "1 special card per box of booster packs" and it's randomly placed in 1 of the 36 (or however many) booster packs....if it were advertised like that, and you bought a box, and there wasn't a special card...then you could get pissed.

Sucks tho that they can say certain states and Europe can't play....dunno bout the European part, but Wizards of the Coast with it's Magic: The Gathering CCG online doesn't have any limitations for states in the US.

The online version is a friend's territory, I'll ask him when I see him.

In MTGO hardly anyone trades cards for cards. You trade your cards for tickets and you trade your tickets for cards.
