The issue is that from Blizzard's perspective the game becomes about trying to get you to spend more on mtx. Every minute you play this game you are being manipulated to that end.

Doesn’t seem to be working very well on me as I’ve never spent a penny extra.

Sounds like a you problem lol

It's not about being weak, advertising works, it hacks your brain and you can't resist it. If you think you can resist it you are wrong.

A bit, I went through eve online getting ruined by mtx. I really hate to see an otherwise good game go down that way.
I also feel a sense of duty to warn people about what they're getting into (even paying to get into!!! crazy stuff).

Yep, confirmed. It's definitely a you problem.

I can tell you now, I'll buy the season passes and that's that. You just assume we're some sort of irresponsible children swiping our parents' credit card, for whatever reason.

Nah I'm not assuming that, if anything I'm assuming you're an adult like most of the forum. You aren't immune because you're an adult.

The me problem is I'm trying to warn people who don't want to hear it. So much cool-aid has been drank already ppl won't change their position.

You’re acting like it’s our first rodeo. I’ve played games for years that have cosmetic items that are meant to give you the fear of missing out and it’s never worked on me.

So how do you explain that I havent bought any MTX in any game for 40+ years then? If I'm wrong?

Well, once again the internet is a disappointment. Enjoy getting ripped off.

Again...explain if I am wrong and will get ripped off by mtx and lulled into spending, how I have not bought any mtx for 40+ years of gaming. Surely if you are right and I am wrong and I will buy mtx, I would have shown that at some point in the last 40 years, rather than showing the exact opposite to your claim?

It's not speaker's corner. I'm not going to endlessly debate you for no benefit to either of us.

Cosmetics in a game mean absolutely nothing to me, I don't care what my character looks like.

Yeah I'm that guy, you know the one that has characters running around that look like clowns. I don't care what they look like. My fun comes from deleting screens of mobs and seeing big numbers!

Just because you’ve spent hundreds on Fortnite skins or something doesn’t mean everyone else has.

The projection in your last few posts is unreal.

Or to put it another way "I'm going to make a baseless claim on what you will do and then make no attempt to justify my claim of what you will do".

Ok, I see now, thanks for clearing that up.

ppl are assuming projection because they don't want the possibility that they're wrong to be true. I haven't been done by mtx.

You’re making zero sense now, it’s like you’re just looking for an argument.

Got every Diablo game, and apart from buying a few expansions, I don't think I've been ripped off.

Pretty sure I've had my monies worth with them all :confused:

The season pass thingy might cost really money to advance but that's a choice and from what I've seen isn't P2W.

God knows how you got that from anything I said. Well done for making random crap up. Classic speakers corner.

Making random crap up? Surely thats what you have done by saying that I will spend money on mtx despite there being proof going back decades that I dont spend money on mtx and then you arent even capable of explaining why, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, you are adamant that I will spend money on mtx.

THATS making crap up.

Never said that. So yes, you are making crap up.
