Rant...Featuring Designer Circle with !IT!, Awear, Persefona, Joplino

I don't usually vent or rant, 

but I am fuming today. 

So the gatcha machines...we all know and love/hate them. 

Now I have been playing gatcha machines for as long as I have been in SL. 

I use to LOVE playing gatchas, LOVED the new found treasures 

and ADORED playing them to get the rares. 

These days the gatcha machines have become a frenzy. 

Everyone is playing and we are spending a fortune to get 

the things we want. 

Now it use to be that if I put in a couple of thousand lindens 

I could get everything in the machine. 

Every rare, every item, everything I wanted. 

But not anymore. 

I can drop 5k into a machine and not ever get a rare. 

Well...I have had enough!

I call forth to all my fellow gatcha addicts and say ENOUGH!

The gatchas are unfair. They take advantage of the customers they 

should love and take care of. 

And this is how I see it. 

Just because you can take advantage of someone does not mean you should. 

The more we play the gatchas, the more the events/designers

take advantage of the fact that we will drop lindens trying 

to get the items. 

But I have had enough!!!

I am calling for a boycott on the damn machines. 

They will continue to take advantage of us as long as we let them. 

I say no more!

If the designers were smart they would take care of us, 

because once we all stop playing those God forsaken machines

the end of their money flow. 

Oh and btw, if I have to talk to you about your machine, 

I am already pissed beyond reproach.

So put your money back in your pockets. it is obvious that the designers 

do not care how it effects us, 

so long as the money is in their pocket they are good. 

We all have the responsibility to gatcha wisely. 

And that is exactly what I am told if I question whether the 

machines are fair or not. 

It is at your own risk. 

Problem is, 

when it becomes unfair...

the customers will walk away. 

Side note, there were a few designers that when 

I messaged them, they were sympathetic. 

They agreed with me and did not want to 

be unfair. They went above and beyond and

sent me a rare to be fair. 

To those designers, kudos!

They have earned my patronage for life. 

To the others...I shall put my lindens in someone else's pockets.

End of rant.
