group sizes are the same, you just roll with 3 groups of eight.
huh?
meaning, you still have the massive groups, they're jsut divided into 8 man groups now instead of a single 20 person group
Massive groups? I don't think so. Not in the early days of the NGE when I left.
Definitely not today when I watched my sister play this past holiday weekend.
it all depends on the server. Again, I'm surprised that all the vets here happened to have played on the servers that lost their populations. Can't wait for SOE to debut the free server transfers. . .it shouldn't be that surprising. The low population servers constitute the vast majority and the so called populated servers are less populated than vets remember.

Oh, so the definition of gambling is different in NZ. Thanks for clearing that up for us.
Slol, I wonder what other universal concepts differ in NZ.

As usual, people look for someone else to blame. If he can't restrict his spending then he shouldn't have access to a Credit Card. At all. Things shouldn't be stopped for others because a small minority have no self control.
it's gambling obraik. Enabling is half the problem. Don't be ignorant of marketing. They know exactly what they're doing. I'm sure they're getting more money per loot card than they otherwise would have if they offered a straight fee. So people are being taken advantage of.
did soe provide the odds of getting certain loot cards? At least at a casino you can find out the odds of winning at certain games to help you decide how much money you're willing to waste beforehand.
No, they have credit card management issues and should never have been assigned a card in the first place. Sorry, but if you can't control your spending then you need to look at yourself before you take the typical American response and start blaming everyone else for "enabling."you shouldn't be assigned a credit card only if you have major gambling problems. You don't need a major gambling problem to be taken advantage of by a marketing scheme involving gambling.
how much do players need to spend on an obvious gambling scheme with the odds stacked against them, before they "need to look at themselves"? That line gets crossed way after players are taken advantage of.

So what would "make it true" then? It seems like a pretty clear cut case of SOE abusing gambling to leech money out of a dwindling subscriber base, but you seem bent on telling us it's not. What's the difference?
When you play a gambling game, your prize is typically sums of money. You can then use that money to play the game again and again, etc.yes, typically

The irony of you asking the question is enough for me to stop the petty s***. I can see you're not open to reason and will leave you be.you didn't seem to want to argue anyway.

Where the hell am I saying that "every vet would like the game if they suddenly got amnesia"?
here:
"the point is he isn't jaded by past goings on and can enjoy the game for what it is now."
The problem you have here, pally, is that these are merely the points of statement you have taken to misunderstand and/or misinterpret.
You want to go flogging that particular dead horse then so be it but you will eventually have to accept that you can't put words in people's mouth and have them say whatever suits your argument or particular game induced fury. Fact remains your ability to digest and comprehend what others are saying is on par with a 5 year old.
Edit: To go on and blame the wording of the OPs statement because you can't understand what he's saying is laughable because I and, I think, most others reading it had a perfectly good idea as to what he was saying. To blame everyone else for your shortcommings will leave you a very unpopular person.great, so I'm misunderstanding and misinterpreting and lack the ability to digest and comprehend and putting words in peoples mouths etc. etc.

if you don't answer that question then there's no substance to your posts.
