BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: Gatorade joke becomes a personal offense

Sadly as someone from Arcane who has seen Jazilee throw shitfits before in public spaces, this does not surprise me. Just hope they learn just how fucking out of touch they are. But considering this is also the person who helps runs a thread where they rip off newbies for Level 25s with battlestones (except Rally, you pay extra for that), I'm not expecting they learn anytime soon.

DA they still run that? i thought they'd long given it up. but yeah they....well, if this were meatspace they'd be that one person at work who you'd be like "please don't let x be in today, pleeeeeaaaaase don't let x be in today". =/

OP of the rip off comment. I grabbed some screens of their program in the Sales forum for Arcane, and well... yeah.

https://i.imgur.com/UW1KZnN.png - Observe the prices at the 1:850 Gem ratio. (475kt is legit 560G so that's ridiculous). Plus they sell you any kind of dragon, not one that's necessarily useful in a venue.

https://i.imgur.com/dEjRZZS.png - What's the point of selling Level 25s if they're unstatted for users.

https://i.imgur.com/Z3P6JrF.png - "We recommend Rally but won't give it to you, you buy it extra to the dragon"

Just saying if you're in Arcane and want a Level 25, there's Train 4 Arcane which sells the whole dragon + stones and stated to what you need with the right elements for 100kt.

... Ok, are they including any stones at all? If no? I could go buy a level 25 on the AH for 200 gems right now. That is a massive rip off.

They have stones, but stating is optional, but the problem is again, that they're charging 475kt minimum for a dragon that may be essentially worthless in the Mire or Ghostlight for training, and not telling the newbie that.

If it includes all the essential stones(2 ambushes(about 20 each), 3 berserkers(about 25 each, and elim (190 at the moment)) it's a mediocre price but not a scam.

I actually see why they don't stat them. There are folks that prefer to stat their own. However, if they're targeting newbies, it's kind of odd. If it weren't being aimed as a deal for in flight newbies it wouldn't even be a big deal... just kind of meh.

And I'm sure the other option takes gets all the business.

(Also, in most venues, even a poor element match can work just fine. It's just going to have a lot more resets.)
