2 years ago 80m for a KC would have been fine, VW didnt exist and synergy was still in its infancy. Dynamis hadn't been adjusted yet so relics were still far off for most people, and mythics pretty much remained the same dream. Everything was R/E abyssea stuff, there was literally nothing to buy, so why not buy a KC.
Nowadays we have VW gear, synergized gear, currency, marrows, HMP, abjs, a shitload to spend gil on, so no reason to overpay for a barely useful weapon.

It's still the best off-hand TP weapon for WHM, the best TP weapon for RNG in situations where accuracy is not a problem, and the best offhand weapon for doing 1h relic trials.
If Gil were difficult to make, I'd see a point, but honestly the only thing it's "restricting" is progress in a mythic and given how much Gil those take, the price of a Kraken Club is quite honestly pretty negligible.
It's also one of the best novelty items in the game. I like shiny.

I don't think you really need to justify why you bought it at that price. Things are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. Glad you enjoy your item.

Saw someone shouting two days ago for KC for 80m... I hoped it was a troll but I bet people really pay that lol.
ITT: Gil has a use. I paid about that for mine. What should I be buying instead?
Buy whatever you want ? There are plenty of things you can do with that gil though that doesn't involve a barely useful club.
People get offended because you wouldn't pay a high amount for something. Not sure why though.
Buyers remorse.
I'm not sure who can't ignore who: sixteen hours or something after that last post, and you're back, calling people names. I don't really know either of you at all, but if I had to pick between "let's move on" and "Still can't ignore me, eh" I'm probably going to go with moving on.
This is supposed to be a thread about how unfair an in game contest is to various people in whatever situation, and why SE sucks in general.

No, see, you missed the part where A. I didn't actually try to rerail a thread, and B. I never said chill. I don't actually care - whining about SE, the future of the game, how unfair something is, or whatever is just as meaningless to me as whether or not someone wants to feel important.
Same idea here: the plan was to provoke Keriam some more, then maybe Narb would say something else. Yay drama. But I don't really care if Keriam gets snarky or if you do. It's all good.
So chill, alright?
edit: which doesn't make sense, just had to put it in somehow. Nothing but happy face fun time around here. :D

Could you explain in more depth please?
Posted it in the other thread, but it also involves this one so... double post I guess.

| Quote: Ok so EU and NA get 1 Golden Gobbiebag I winner total. Japan gets 1 Golden Gobbiebag I winner in and of itself? I guess by SE reasoning that's fair. I guess you're going by total user population per region or something. Quote: Why is the new Heroine's Battle access being so limited? I know I'll never win a R/M/E or pulse armor and I couldn't care less about ark weapons or that godawful moogle suit, but I would very much like to be able to do the new fight. At least with the old Mog Bonanza one could guarantee themselves a Rank 5 prize by choosing their numbers properly while more than likely sacrificing a chance at higher tier prizes. Now, there's a good chance most of us will never see the inside of the new battlefield if this is the sole means of orb distribution. That's kinda screwed up. Quote: I know I'm just shouting into the wind as far as the devs go and will probably be told in various ways to stop whining by my fellow posters, but it would be nice if we could all get Athena Orbs. | |||

| Quote: Tier one and two silly odds aside, kinda sad you can't be sure to win at least one lowest tier item like in the mog bonanza. :/ I guess everyone getting a cosmetic weapon is too game breaking. As we said previously, there will not be any more Mog Bonanzas held in the future. Going forward, we'll be deciding how to go about distributing the fun prizes that were included in the lowest tier (things like statues, battlefield orbs, etc.). Quote: On top of JP getting an actual mog bonanza of which I don't really mind, probably the statistical chances of winning each tier are about the same, but I would have preferred to have a bonanza myself. The NA/EU tier 1 can get you a chance at a 90 relic/mythic/emp. WHILE the JP bonanza tier 1 gives a chance at a 99 afterglow ver of a relic/mythic/emp.... Not that I would win either or but come on SE............ | |||

Was there a time where we didnt get a tier 1 winner over the years? I think there was always one, so for me this one is just a cheap excuse -.- srsly

Only had Nomad once before where you only picked 1 set up numbers, I didn't hear of anyone winning rank 1 either.
*blinks*
If you do win rank 1. Mythic onry choice.

Bumping this, as the post-Vanafest surveys will go live tomorrow (Monday, 25-JUN-12) as per Kalilla's OP.
I'm sure with the power of teh internetz (i.e. wikis and game community forums) on our side, the "Gobbie Question" (or questions, if they are randomly assigned) cannot be too difficult...but just in case, maybe we can all collaborate on the answers. :p

Hm, looking at the rewards again I'm sort of confused.
TI - Ok this one makes sense, obligatory relic category. Could do without useless ***like KC, but no one's picking that anyway.
TII - This one's weird. Neo Nyzul gear, Aura weapons, Marrow, Scoria, and scrolls? Don't know anyone who'd choose a scroll over the marrows. Nyzul gear maybe, but even that... why would you when you can buy whatever piece of nyzul gear you want with the gil you'd get from marrows... it gets even more confusing when...
TIII - ...you can get a piece of +1 abjuration gear + an augment item by winning the "inferior" prize. Wat? Am I the only one who thinks that the Nyzul gear and abjuration stuff should have been in opposite reward categories? The glow bodies and stuff are pretty ***so no one gives a *** about those, but the abjuration gear is decidedly rarer than Nyzul gear...

I am going to win a Mythic.
Good luck for all participating. I earned nothing from nomad bonanza ... lol
Also why isn't there a 1500 heavy Metal Plate option. :c

Ah, er...thanks for the reassurance I guess? Was just a suggestion LOL.

I would think they are concerned about people selling them off should they win? Dumping in the majority of prizes as R/E items avoids that sort of thing, in their minds, perhaps.
Same will happen with Scoria and Marrows.
