This analogy is as pretty much saying everyone in this thread paid money to go to work. Listen the 15 bucks you drop per month buys you the game, it doesn't buy you commendations or gear.

Are you guys mentally not stable? Oh my faith in humanity...

1 in 10 of getting your paycheck is just a silly system... I mean come on.

It really should be set up so... you have a 1 in 6 or so chance of getting a part of your paycheck for a few days. ... each week you should get another chance to pull... if you show up all 5 days that week for work. (Rewarding good attendance is Good HR)

There should also be another bag pull offered for people wishing to too compete in the open lunch in the "Illum" suite. (AKA the lunch room) Competing employees will be split into groups of ruffly even numbers. (Most days that's 5 or 6 employees vs 30 or 40 lunch ladies) If they can get past the lunch ladies they get too eat and pull a bag.

See guys this way if they are very lucky people they will in fact have a Chance to earn more then there regular pay... I mean 5 days of work they could take home 30-40% more then they would expect too if they worked in just a boring old pay for work rendered system. Sure they might get unlucky and work for free... but didn't their parents teach them that if they love there job it really isn't work anyway?

Okay, then the time the players have invested into PvPing is what should be "buying" the gears. Except now, it doesn't.

Playing an MMO IS pretty much like paying to have a second job that's *gasp* supposed to be fun and "rewarding."

Sanity is an over-rated attribute only good for taking the fun out of daily life and it can't even get you out of a jail sentence. I won't touch faith as its against the forum TOU.

Try grinding 3 weeks for 1 attempt on end game quest gear in Aion. Only to fail sometimes 10-15 times. Koreans make this games "grind" look like connect-4.


welcome to RNG. Aion never changed. It's still the same. All you can do is get used to it. Eventually the cries will stop.
lol comparing korean trash to american play style.

Rather than be paid at a steady, hourly rate or a fixed salary, at the end of every day, you are given a nice Bioware fanny pack. When you open it, there's a 1 and 10 chance your paycheck is in there. If it's not there, there's 3 food stamps. Once you collect 30 of them, you can trade them in for the same paycheck a gas station attendant makes.

Does this sound like a payroll system that's going to keep you coming back to work?

The bag system as it stands now is more like going to a social event with a door prize. Everyone that comes to the party gets a box, the box either has a gift in it or tokens to buy a gift if you save enough of them. You keep coming to this awesome event every night and get a new box every night. Most nights you simply get a token to put towards your stash so you can save up for that awesome margaretta mixer they have...but sometimes you win something like a gift card to the mall or an awesome hat.

In no way does the system as it stands really compare to your situation, since we are not working and trying to make a living with this game. We are coming here to have fun and enjoy ourselves and with the bag system we have for PvP right now, we pretty much have a system like listed above. Do you need new clothes and a margaretta mixer to have fun? Not really, but they do help when you do get them.

hope bioware realise how silly their system is...

Change it so that Champion commendations work as BM commendations currently do,

lower cost on centurion items by a significant amount --> make it possible to trade, lets say, 10centurion commendations into a champ commendations, and 10 champ commendations into 1 bm commendation
