Team loots $7,100 in real money on Planet Calypso

Head of operational department which is responsible for the prioritization and allocation of resources, has decided that The Swedish Gambling Authority currently does not have the opportunity to further investigate the matter with reference to the extensive resource case would take.

Thanks for a more recent version Mesh :) Appreciated.
It seems they have come to the same conclusion as I outlined earlier in my post again. I am starting to wonder if all companies & authorities in Sweden have become like MindArk since my last visit to Sweden

I know there is a big social attitude gap between the richer and (Not much of a middle class) and poorer classes within Sweden that affects how businesses operate between one another, but this lacking work ethic/culture is ... well lol. I will save my opinions on that one.

 

I always love to watch loot theories as they crop up, even if they are 8-in-1 post versions

The usual response by those who do not understand the specific component being analysed (loot-system) out of the many sub-components that make up a final working RCE concept. That being what is used (money/PED) to obtain that (goodies/loot) which can be sold for markup to others in the economy aspect.

Keeping it brief. Another poster is on the right track in points 3 & 7, point 1 being incorrect which is outlined in Dev Notes discussed earlier. Point 8 is correct in it not being a theory, moreso the OPs experience and choices.

And another thread on the perception of luck factor (RL & Casino attributes) vs time in Entropia Universe
http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?264120-Luck-Factor

Axemurder nails it early on in the piece.
You should have let it run a while longer Axe, PCF is entertaining in that sense.

For clarity, the OP is discussing the "luck factor" being one of the elements mathematically programmed into the Entropia Universe Loot System/machine.

There is lots of fun to be had with such threads, but most are repeative and come to the same conclusion;
That being no conclusion that the community can unitedly agree upon Welcome to Entropy

I guess I need to spell this one out a bit better ... In the context of entropy, "perfect internal disorder" is synonymous with "equilibrium"

The point MindArk seems to miss is equalibrium (Balance) .... And that is where I will leave it.

fx: Where are we all I wonder (MA & Userbase) looking up at the same sign of "hope" that has been there for the last decade ... The choices!



Will Klas Moreau be the first to finally make a move to bring us into a "new situation" to adapt to unlike the CEO before him feared in doing and wIll it be the right choice of direction (Innovation or Stagnation) to move in if Klas does decide to make a move



Point being: The customers are sick and tired, not to mention being bored to tears with being at a point of equalibrium with respect to Entropy-a Universe and attached "dynamic" RCE concept ... Old hat in terms of gameplay elements and technology, unexploited RCE elements in what is on offer, dynamic RCE resembles a casino, an economy where players need to fuck the player next to them over to greater extents as cost to play increses to get ahead stay afloat while playing ... boring!

Get on with some innovation already MindArk;
Only the addicted gamblers (Spending in the hope of something more), those who are happy with not making progress (Enjoy being in their comfort zone) and those who are heavily invested (including time & effort) will remain if you continue along a path of stagnation (Including standing on this corner of dwindling hope for so long).

You really think people are going to stick around for long, let alone come and have a look at Entropia Universe in this social-media connected world when other game development companies who have learned from their mistakes and are evolving are starting to produce stuff like this for $15 once off payment and all updates free there-after ? This is only one example, there are more and more games constantly coming along that out-shine Entropia Universe in so many ways while MindArk & Entropia Universe continues to fall further and further behind making a mockery of itself and those who have invested into it and/or play it.

 

besides the trolls taking over this thread as well with anit Mindark just wanted to say, GRATZ Taco!!!

 

I like your posts Viper, because you give everyone the whole 9 yards to the nth degree, and if some can get past the length and the detail, they might even find it thought-provoking, and maybe even find the importance in what you are sharing that obviously some just want to gloss over.

But then ... some don't want to hear the bad parts, let alone accept that there may be truth in what you put into print. At any rate, this whole love/hate relationship going on with you and EP is quite entertaining and also quite telling.

I'm enjoying it, because I see more colors than just purple.

 

Aye,

The package of points to be aware of, considered and eventually addressed roundup #1 is pretty much complete; If I make the package too big, MA/PPs/Clients wil not be able to chew and digest (assimulate and comprehend) what they need to;

Therefore a lot will go to waste in what needs to be ultimately addressed at some point in time.

I came to the decision this morning while training that this will be enough for now ;)
Let us see what unfolds over time. Maybe something, maybe nothing /shrugs.

At least it will put the thinking caps on on a few people as everything including progress starts out with a thought *smiles*

I will still post updates to other games, new and already discussed over time; Slowly for now or as they apprear if they are worthwhile mentioning to not upset the entropia-only fanbase.

Take Care and may this first package of food for thought make way for evolution to occur.

 

Grats Taco < cheering for you on a personal level (& the others who got a slice of the pie)

More coming back as part of the missing "dozens more needed" to break even.

Another event marketed ..... Point, do not participate at all in Entropia Universe unless an event is going on with "potential" promotional value for Mindark and/or PP attached ...... on the basis you already have the time/money invested into skill & items required to participate in such events;

It has been the "irregular" norm for MindArk for a very long time.

To bad for those who are starting out in making their way up the ladder somewhat naturally in participating, and don't have money to spend to get to this level fast .... [even though investing through chipping in & buying items needed without participating will cost you less than a 1/10th it would by going natural with the potential to recoupe costs through such event/MA/PP marketing] ....

The money given out from this did not come from thin air after all, including from any form of a fair-and-balanced distributed returns model in participating over-time across the board within the hunting sphere (in this case).



Not to be negative in stating what is historically obvious, let me add a !WoW! to the experience *smiles*
As long as your enjoying what your doing and for whatever multitude of "possible reasons" that your here doing it , that is the main thing. ;)

PS. The link incorporated has nothing to do with my own reasons or desired impact on outcomes.

 

MA only needs to admit that they are a casino, to the swedish gambling authority, finanzinpsektionen etc.
That would be honest.
Case closed.

 

The most fun times on gambling machines in the casino are when you get the bonus game, Entropia is designed as one big bonus game, even crafting, most similar to the gamble machines in the casino offers some additional extra bonus game in the forum of new blue prints.

Think in a way MA and thus EU should have no shame to go for the statement of being a virtual casino, it could even work in their advantage if you understand what i mean.

Gambling is big business, and in the unique way MA it is offering at the moment is pretty exceptional and thus could again work in their advantage.
