Since this discussion has expanded beyond the 500 event, I need to come out of lurking. Most of the things that make me unhappy about Funzio have been well said by others, but I like the game more than ever. I have evolved in the game from being angry every time I got robbed to having a sense of humor about it and understanding how small wins and losses are part of the ebb and flow of the game. For a super competitive person, this has been fun and healthy. I am a gold buyer, but I try to do so intelligently, and I understand that for me it is part of the price of entertainment, just like being at a blackjack table. Despite my investment, and the holding effect of that should not be underestimated, I am increasingly turned off by the sense that Funzio is exploiting all of us, and more blatantly than ever. Not paying us on the 500 event is simply incompetent at best and cynically rude at worst. However, if they roll out a new crate event before paying off this one, and they do so at a higher opening price, I will be near the end of my tolerance. I don't mind being exploited a little but they are getting to blatant about it. I may just have enough discipline to walk away from my investment, because I am tired of being a sucker. At a minimum they should try to make us feel good about what we are paying them, and what the non gold players instinctively recognize as being inherently stupid. BTW I play MW without gold just to experience the difference, and it is not as much fun. Sorry to have rambled so much
