HAHAHAHAHA... that is such ****, pure money grubbing scheme. How does that make us feel as consumers? Pretty pissed off.

Even in real auctions, they keep the people spending money informed.

Wow.

unbelievable!!

it's not their falt, it's ours who are paying

they frozen it to push gold spenders to the limits

This should be a lesson for all of us for the upcoming events

Wow.

So? The only people visible on the leaderboards are the ones who are trying to get in the top 50 which is pointless to me anyway.

Well said, but will anybody really listen? Probably not.

I believe I am pretty safe at reaching the top 500 since I am 9 chips ahead of the pack and figure the bottom 500 are free players or small gold buyers. However, If I was going for the top 50 I would be having a nervous breakdown right now and use gold left and right! It is funny that everyone is complaining about this event being a money making machine and this just might as well prove it. To keep those who obviously spent a fortune to be in the top 50 in the dark at the time it matters most is...well I don't even have a word for it! I guess I am just grateful that my goal was to be in the top 500 and there I am!

pretty dirty on their part. wonder if this going to backfire on them.

I wonder how many big gold spenders were actually limited by the number of safes they could find. I could see that be a decisive factor.

Go spend some money. You are so close to the bottom line of top 50. You'll be pissed off not to be in top 50 with 7 vaults of gold spent...

We can complain all we want about how expensive this event is to win the grand prize but that won't matter. There will always be over 50 people ready to spend an arm and a leg to get the top prize. It's like when you know a teacher curves a test and you try to get every in the class to bomb the test so that everyone can pass. Never works!

Refill energy and do jobs. It's easy to find one but that's more expensive for each chip(open+reset+refill)

Closing the leaderboards last minute is pretty much kicking your top 50 customers square in the nuts. I would be livid if i was anywhere near the top 50

What a great way to piss off your highest spending customers and communicate that you intend to milk every penny they have at the same time. Brilliant move, really.

Yah, Agreed. You're screwing your top paying customers over by doing this. Royally.

I mean, this is essentially auction format, why screw over the people who are willing to spend like no other?

If you're making 200-300+ grand a year, 7 vaults is "technically" not THAT bad. But yeah, it is a lot.

So... Will anyone finally believe me that Conzio is not trustworthy? Do I seem like such a fool now, after they once again prove that any form of disguised money grab is is their mantra?

Only the faint of heart will disagree. And to those individuals, my only "comment" will be this: :p!!!

Scratchers are basically legalized gambling for gamers. Except, they're really really expensive scratchers. ..

In the gand scheme of things not really...I had a few boxes stashed, 16 I think and I got 4 or 5 more...I used them to get from 102 chips to 108 which I didn't think would be enough for top 50, but heck I was done with it by then...

I had 25 chips and came in at position 404, (not one gold bar spent).

Well you have to go "over the top" sometimes! Not all "conspiracy theories" turn out to be true, but they are called "theories" for a reason. They won't all be correct, but they need to be mentioned to make people think and ask questions. Some people will believe anything, which is unfortunate, but that's reality. A lot of people won't even think twice if they aren't given alternative ideas to consider. The ideas and theories I present won't all be true but I am allowed to think them up, and I am allowed to suggest potential realities. Make up your own mind but if all you have to go by is something "the man" told you, well, it's worth questioning anyways. Lots of people just don't know the right questions to ask.

Ugh, where to start with this.

First of all many people here DO agree with a lot of what you say. Many people here came up with a lot of this negative stuff well before YOU did.

They just don't do it hourly.

When you won one of the events on cash opens after complaining the whole way through it, you pointed out that yes, you did win a free prize to your surprise, but that doesn't account for all the angst and anguish you experienced while trying to win it, I realized that you very well may possibly be the whiniest bastard in the history of the internet.

I did not realize that much negativity could be balled up into one person.

And the the tangent you went off on glitch exploiters being scum of the earth, while the old timers here know you as Mr Mossberg, that's just sprinkles on the cupcake.

Honestly, if you are anything remotely like this in real life, and many people aren't, I pity anyone in your sphere.

Spot on Double M spot on. What baffles me even more is that you would think the complaints would be few and far between when you are rocking 21 Tough Guy Lowriders ; 139 Cage Fighter Pads ; 46 Experimental Mech Suits ; 30 Iron Fists ; 143 Reinforced Tonfas and 13 Chinese Assault Rifles. All of the above PVE gear coming from a person who has said they have over 100 stam points so it doesn't take a genius to realize that energy is not a strong point.

Why complain so much when it is so tranparent that you really should have nothing to complain about?

I agree. It cost me about $15,100 to open a safe. I get $10,000. Thats no reward. They also reduced the RP from 500 to 300. There is just no point as I am a light gold spender.

BeniBugatti
07-06-2012, 08:04 AM
Has anyone reported a finish between 51 and 100?

If I was in charge at Funzio, I'd have ensured that every player who seemed to be spending gold like water near the end got the prize they were gunning for. Otherwise they may just skip the next event.

They would hate someone who is willing to spend $100s on an event to quit....
