What about the people that haven't gotten an item in 20+ bags? Are they expecting instant gratification?

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?
i totally approve this

Best thread. Worst pvp reward system.

It would be nice to see an official post by BW saying "we care and are thinking about a better system?"

pretty much... thats less than a week of pvp... if i get one piece a week or a couple a month its good for me. like i said i dont want to get geared too fast, it would get old, quick.
its all about the journey, not the destination...
and id like to see numbers of people who actually got geared quickly, i would imagine its a very small amount of the BM playerbase. but i dont want to throw out stats without the hard data. the people who do that on the forums are usually proven to be exaggerating greatly. OMG I GOT 40 BAGS WITHOUT ONE PIECE AND MY FRIEND OPENED 6 AND GOT 4 PIECES. that is a fluke and while VERY lucky, it is not how it happens to most players... and probably didnt really happen

Great post. I look at MMOs the same way as I look at most other uses of my time. Do the rewards from this activity justify the time spent? For a game, fun is usually the reward. However, spending hours and hours doing dailies and warzones in order to get gear and then leaving my return on time invested up to RNG is not fun, nor is it something I see myself doing long-term. Please Bioware, give me a reason to continue playing after my pre-paid three months are over.

They had an obvious game as an example, how could they still made such a terrible RNG gearing system?
