    As a side note, my experience with people clamoring about NMS, are full of it. Even if it's only once, that's money spent outside the deluxe edition.

    Sure there are people that buy the game and never swipe. They don't come around like a peacock though expecting people to be impressed.

    I’m a NMS player, only open packs that I get through gameplay or if I buy with stubs I earn. I’d say between 50-70 packs I’ve only got one Diamond. Is what it is, I’m not getting worked up over not pulling Trout in the first or second week.

    Why did you feel compelled to announce you are NMS?

    Why do some people feel compelled to fly WS or BR banners? Chill out.

    Also, in a conversation like this, it's relevant.

    People who get tilted by "NMS" are a wee bit too sensitive.

    I'm very chill ..just curious why

    And you answered your own question..they are banners . meant to be displayed...NMS is not a banner or a badge of honor.

    Also, how is it relevant to a conversation about bad pack luck?

    It's about the in-game economy, and NMS is information on how you handle that economy.

    Fair enough about the banners.

    Every post is about the packs if you buy them earn them doesn't matter every post is about the quality of the packs
    NMS has nothing to do with it

    I’ve opened 126ish packs in the last 72hrs and not a diamond in sight. Got 2-3 chase packs, all golds from the chase. Like give me a break, at 1 in 50 chance I should of gotten one.

    I've never gotten a Chase pack... so they DO exist...

    Yes. Opening week, they were raining out of regular packs. Last night was my first in well over a week.

    Just one from last night

    Wait, there's Chase packs INSIDE regular packs? I thought they came from the 50 bundle

    Yea they’re awful. They could be 750 apiece and still be a big loss lol. If you care about your stubs don’t buy packs because no reason to let them scam you out of stubs. If you don’t care rip away but you will lose. Like 30-40% of packs give less than 100 stub value lol. Worst pack in sports games. If you couldn’t buy stubs and had to buy packs it would be all over social media but it is what it is.

    And lol at a bootlicker telling you that it’s more bs for you to pull a diamond out of 150 packs than not pull one. As if probabilities wouldn’t come into play with math. Those the type of dudes sds employs lol.

    Allow this bootlicker to respond! Because reading...is a skill.

    I wrote that it's more BS to pull a diamond from A SINGLE pack at 2% chance. Of course the more packs you rip the greater the probability that you'll eventually pull a diamond. My point was that it's 2% every single time on standard packs, so going on crazy dry runs shouldn't be a shocking thing.

    Oh, I've pulled Trout and Acuna x2 and DeGrom and Soto a few times and Arenado x2 and lots others, all from standard packs. Yay, me!

    Bootlicker out.

    Yep. I've seen them not only as toppers to the 50 bundle, but also as many as 6 times ripping packs.

    It’s to put it into perspective and add context to why I’ve only ripped 50 packs instead of 150.

    Why do you feel compelled to get worked up over someone mentioning they are a no money spent player? Would you quote someone asking “Why do you feel compelled to announce you spent $1000 on packs?”

    If you open 147 packs and get nothing, and someone else opens 3 packs and gets 3 diamonds, the overall odds are still 1:50

    Don't confuse the boy!

    @lookattherhino said in Packs are a joke:

    @suntlacrimae50_psn said in Packs are a joke:

    1:50 chance every time you open a pack. Regardless if past bad luck. 98% chance not to pull a diamond every single time you open a pack. This is not BS. It is math.

    It’s still BS even if it is math.

    You'd hate Vegas.

    Lol, no it's not. It's frustrating for sure, but the math is the math.

    If you get a diamond with those odds, THAT'S actually more BS than not getting one.

    But you use the term loosely to show rage, I get it.

    Math can always be math but that doesn’t say what it is on the bs meter. It’s whatever the player says it is.

    You’ve quoted others about the NMS, which answered your question and I answered it as well. Seems like it’s an issue that’s bothering you for whatever reason, otherwise you would have scrolled past the post and not given it any thought.

    No one has answered me about why they post it .. that's false...and you do realize you answered me after I asked correct?

    Here you go. I'll bite.

    I spend money. Generally speaking, an absurd amount. I don't care. I earned it.

    I have the collection done, but had insane pack luck pre-release. Least amount of money I've dropped probably since I started DD in 16.

    Yay for me.

    In the grand scheme of things, who cares? Generally the NMS people do. That's my experience.

    At the end of the day, if someone announces they are NMS or they say I spend thousands on stubs to complete the collection as quick as possible, what’s the big deal?

    I'll bite too. As a NMS person, it rubs me wrong that the industry has gone the way it has, with so-called free to play games that incentivize players to spend money. Saying your NMS is a light way of indicating that you hate that aspect of modern gaming and wish it didn't exist and that you'd rather take longer to do something and not give in to predatory monetization.

    No offense at all to people who pay money for cards -- truly.
