    @metalnuck_xbl said in Packs are a joke:

    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?

    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?”

    @eatyum_mlbts said in Packs are a joke:

    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.

    I used to live in Vegas I loved it

    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?

    It doesn't bother me but to be honest I do find it a bit strange.. I don't see people in here announcing they are a money spent team

    I’ve seen a few people post how much they’ve spent on packs. That’s no different than someone saying they are no money spent and saying they’ve only ripped earned packs.

    True...but usually that is the question itself...they don't just announce .. I'm 500 spent..blah blah blah......people announce NMS like it's a title or something... that's what is odd

    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.

    Some people may but like I said earlier, I didn’t say it to announce it as a title or seek validation. I used it for perspective and context. You could say that someone who states I spent $1000 on packs is a form of seeking validation for look how much money I have.

    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.
