Petition or Boycotting
Is everyone in this subreddit seriously okay with playing a game that's rigged?
The only servers that actually benefit whenever a new banner drops are CN and TW. E.g., when they get a banner like the FXX-K (SSS- class Prime Extreme Legend), they only need 190 pulls for the grand prize to trigger, and when it does, the banner car is guaranteed. Players over there almost always get the car within 170–180 pulls anyway.
And here's the biggest difference. CN/TW literally says "必得本奖池限定" what they mean is basically, you're guaranteed to get the exclusive item from that prize pool. There is no rate-off involved.
Now compare that to the other servers like SEA, EU, NA, etc. Let's take my case on the SEA server. We don't get that same guaranteed banner-car system. Instead, we're stuck with this garbage gacha system and LP/exchange-point system with stupid requirements, like needing 270 points for a SS class Prime Extreme Legend (Jesko Attack).
SEA literally says "Guaranteed Legendary car within 100 draws." Notice that it doesn't say "Guaranteed banner car." You're guaranteed A Legendary car, not THE Legendary car you're actually pulling for. Once the grand prize triggers, the counter resets back to 0, regardless of whether you got the banner car or got rate-off.
My recent experience? I got 5 effing rate-offs in a row while pulling on the Veyron banner. I ended up having to get the Veyron through the LP/exchange-point shop for a ridiculous 240 points. And on that banner, every single rate-off hit me right around the 80–90 pull mark.
Across those 5 rate-offs, I only ended up with around 390–430 points at most. Meaning I ended up with just ONE Veyron, and that's only because I had to redeem it with 240 exchange points. Had I not gotten those consecutive rate-offs, I could've gotten two Veyrons by now, which would've allowed me to upgrade its ECU to Level 1, hell even more.
Now apply my exact situation to the CN/TW server, where a Prime Sport Legend car only takes 115 pulls for the grand prize to trigger, with the banner car guaranteed when it does. How many Veyrons would I have gotten by now? Instead of repeatedly losing the grand prize to rate-offs and having to start over from 0 every time, I'd actually have a chance to get multiple copies of the car.
Absolute greedy-ass developers.
I've played dozens of games in my life, and I'm the typa guy who's willing to spend thousands of dollars on a game I genuinely enjoy (my highest top-up is around 3k SGD in a single moba game which is mobile legends). But I'll never put a dime into this scam of a game.
Seriously, there are plenty of people in this subreddit, so why does everyone seem to care so little about how badly the devs are screwing us over? I'm sure if we all just stopped playing, boycotted the game, and raised our voices, these devs would actually start sweating over this issue.
