Devs: “Now introducing ‘Iridium Scratch Cards’! For just 500 of an inconceivably useless and hard to find resource, you can get a scratch card! You may win it big with a ship part, or may bust on a monocrystal and metal blank! Try your luck TODAY!”
Devs, later: “Oh and did we mention that only 3 scratch card in existence actually have a ship part?”
Higher prices for direct buy, lottery buy for lower prices or economy system where freeloaders farm and trade it to people with the real money currency. Those are the commonly used systems.
It’s difficult to make a equal benefit both to users and developers, it takes a lot of time to perfect any of these systems listed. I blame those players that do a total no-brainer when maniacally buying bundles and filling the wrong statistics for the devs and then they think the system is working just fine.
you are right orca. this could be a part of the cause. ohter part is that devs do never listen to the Pilot base voices. ingorance and a lack of will to accept that if they would partly listen to them all would be better. amount of pilots in game, income which gaijin does gain with sc. all would be better if they sometimes would listen and follow.
Come on, it’s free monocrystal. Without this bundle, Iridium is useless so what’s the problem of being able to convert Iridium to mono?
Even if it was 1 mono per 1 million Iridium it’d be worth 'cause Iridium have no other use.
You guys are like “Boohoo, I only got one present at my birthday. I wanted two!”
seems as u dont want to understand. AMOUNT OF DROPPED ITEMS IS NOT ENOUGH IN COMPARISION TO THE TIME USED TO FIND THE IRI: did u understand now?
You can suggest but you can’t order a change, u can say it nice and short and have a 50/50 chance of implementing, or long with insults with no chance of even someone caring. Most people don’t know how to provide feedback and even if they would do, there’s that question, why would they care to listen?
You say one thing, the wrong stats show another, if you cant provide an option that can benefit players in a fun way and developers in a monetary way, don’t bother.
In the end, the careless people buying the bundles like crazy are the main income to them and the main party pooper for us, might as well enjoy the game as it is and leave the complex stuff to someone else.
I spent my iridium, got monos for it, im good to go. Not complaining, it’s the 2nd free container.
is not a present as u call it. is a deal . pilots give iri and get items. and the deal is not worth it as Long the amount of dropped items is as low
did not Insult any. i did tell wht i think. if someone is touched if he must hear ignorance is the cause than even him seem to know it that it is right.
ignorance is a characteristic and no bad word and even no Insult. if Pilot voices are ignored than it is ignorance. how can i call it ohter. was not my aim to Insult and i did not do. i did only Point out that this is Major part of the actual issues
Please, discuss the topic at hand. I would rather have the option to choose my resource from the list and pay a higher price, than to get the lottery again.

It’s you who don’t understand.
Iridium is useless.
Monocrystal is the most used material.
500 Iridium for ~3-4 mono seems like a really good exchange rate to me.
You can get 500 Iridium every ~30 battles, or really fast in Open Space.
And it’s totally free stuff.
So, like I said, you just want more then what they give you.

This ^
But it’s free stuff here, so it’s not so bad to have a little lottery here.
It’s for the GS bundles that something like that is seriously needed.
put your brain on pls. i did tell wht i think and this can for sure differ to wht u think.
even if iri is useless now as u decribed it, the time which i Need to get it is not at all for me. so i have better Things to do as to use time to get iri and to buy containiers which are also useless as not dropping enough items. you cant order me wht i have think and i can neither for u. so why you repeat over and over. my meaning is fix and ur Arguments have no value for me.
and dont come me with “oh u insulted me” i did not. was a request not more that u should put ur brain on. even if it is a free gift as does not cost me $ it does cost me time. and i have as told better Things to do as to grind for valueless Things as iri is now
500 iri for 3 - 4 monos is ok for as u mentioned it. nice"! for me it is not. how many time is needed to grind this 500 iri.? for 3 to4 monos. in which world is this usefull . in mine not

and coming back to the core of the thread. idea that iri can be used for buying Containers is not as bad., but the amount of dropped items is far to small in comparision to the time which must be invested to get the iri.
Now, please tell me - how much time did you need to get 500 iridium and what you got from those containers? How would you adjust those values? I’m asking seriously - if you have better idea, just list it as a fully defined specs, not useless rant, please.
did already tell it some Posts before. the idea is nice to get Containers for iri but the amount of dropped items should be 3 times higher to make out of a good idea a good Thing. as Long the drop rate is as low(for iri and gs Containers) the whole Container Thing will not be used by me. did once buy a Container for 10 000 000. did open my eyes wht it is. not worth the time!
But why the heck are you “spending time” to gather a useless material?
Time to get don’t mean higher value.
Iridium is supposed to be a bonus during your normal activities. Not something you should focus on. So of course it’s not worth the time!
It’s like you’re telling “I’m spending 8 hours a day to look for money on the ground! But not worth! Fix!”
Use your time to work instead on focusing on gathering a useless material that is meant to be a bonus.
is supposed to be. but is no more now. before it was usefull to grind as i could Level up my modules. now no more so even no reason for me that iri still exisit

I could dissect this very small comment, but I won’t.
As for the containers, honestly as long as you understand them then you will be a lot luckier with your choice of and/or timing of purchase. All I can tell you is that bundles are supposed to respond as if it were a padlock; if you know the combination, the safe will open for you and give you a good bundle. The more you open the box, less chance of rare resources you will have. In other words, stop wasting all your resources at once and choose when you open the crates wisely.
When I tell you about the loot tables, do listen to Niripas because he has done this so much and knows more about it than pretty much anybody else out there.
and how i use my time is not ur Problem swifter. is personal and i do even not know u . and have even no interest to get to know u. ur sayings are enough for me. dont Need more of. i would never say to ohters wht they should do(only in ironic way as when i told u put ur brain on. but it should be put on always as this is normal for humans). that u do such is not a sign of a good characther in my view. nobody can order wht ohters have to do. thats my view on this.
is ok shotan that u think like this. but in my and ohters view the whole Container Thing is useless as Long the drop rates are as low. have no Need of. but is as told ok that u believe in this System. does not make it better but u have a right as all have to believe in wht u want
