Omega Emote is Tasteless

[TaleraRistain]

I'm not a fan of in-game items tied to things made intentionally scare. Especially paired with how the quality of what we can get in game has been dropping over the years and more and more is coming out tied to the cash shop or limited items. This limited thing is something really big in Japan, I gather. We have it here in the US to a certain extent (look at console launches), but not to the levels seen there.

You do know what a pre order is right? The option to get this existed for a year nearly. So they knew how many to make. And you want to talk about scarcity? Lol.

You know pre-orders sell out, right? Same thing happens here in the US. That's why scalpers are so successful on auction sites.

And the bigger issue is we have a game with a monthly subscription but more and more things are being pushed to microtransactions, while the quality of what we get for our ongoing subscription is rapidly declining.

Pre order didn’t sell out. The option to buy existed to the day they shipped starting this February. Want to try again?

I also missed the part where a physical item was a digital good. Just as the OP, you see what you want to see. The emote isn’t what’s being sold. I don’t see any of you throwing insults and insinuating anything over the pre order for Scions and Sinners. You must not care about Orchestrion rolls.


Reached daily limit. Just want to point out OP has changed the reasoning multiple times ending with scalping now being the reason for this entire debacle.

You win the whole thread. This is 100% on point and better articulated than I could ever have said.

Scalpers ruin everything. It has always been a problem, but never as bad as it is now. You really don't think scalpers aren't scalping the 400$ omega resales? Of course they are. They'll ruin anything for a turn of profit, even if others go without.

Zelda Joyons. Ruined.
Ps5 is still unobtainable.
Xbox Series X Is unobtainable.
Every limited gaming thing ever is scalped and sold at OUTRAGEOUS prices.

Even the Mario Cereal that was out a few years ago was scalped for at least 50$ a box. CEREAL. I don't know anyone who got a box. And it was all because it contained a Mario Odyssey code.

Mcdonald's had to make it so that you couldn't just buy Pokemon cards. You have to buy a happy meal. People scalped and ruined those for the first week.

Exclusivity on physical content does NOT work in this day and age. Not until scalpers are regulated better by laws, which is a hard enough issue to deal with. Ask anyone how they are going to make such laws without limiting the freedom to buy and resell your own private property. It's a very hard law to write, and it will take some creative lawyers, and politicians to come up with such a bill. Until then, the least we could do is make these limited things easier to obtain.

Wow. You must be BIG at people like myself then.

Keep on being salty and moving the goalposts in the topic as others have mentioned. Don’t blame us for your poor financial choices and decisions.

My financial decisions are not poor, and they are none of your business. The only right you have to comment on my financial decisions, is based on the information I give you.

Clearly they are if you’re crying this hard about pieces of plastic. You posted on a public forum so anyone has “the right” (as you amusingly put it btw) to criticize you especially if the basis of your point is that you’re too poor (haha) to afford any of them. Ask mommy or daddy for their credit card and you might get one if you’re a good boy this year for Christmas.

....My sides are in orbit.
"You cannot judge my finances from what little information I've divulged about myself! You're only allowed to judge what little financial information about myself I've divulged!!"
"You've no right to comment on a public forum post I made in a manner that I do not deem acceptable!"

For the record: Got the statue. The emote's cool for all of like, 5 seconds. Only neat quirk is while you're floating, your head is locked in place and your eyes track anything you target. That's about it. You're literally not missing out on anything important.
