I know you guys want more and more money, I dont blame you, it's a business, so I knew you would kind of flame my post.

But think about it, some can, that's true, other's can't and are just addicted to the blackmarket, and they buy zp instead of saving money or buying more usefull stuff.

Spending more then 500$ is just ridiculous and you would probably agree with me if you werent a mod.

Again Im not flaming you or anything, it's just how I see things.

I'm just talking about myself as an individual, not related to G4.

I have the means to spend as much as I want to on this game, and I enjoy this game.
So I don't mind spending it.


But from a business point of view; We're not really responsible if someone can't help themselves from buying virtual money in a computer game.
If they can't handle it, clearly they shouldn't have access to the funds to spend.

Well, Dot's not getting any money either way, because mods ain't getting paid.

Also, people buy zp because they want to, they aren't getting forced to, they want to. It's their choice if they want to purchase zp instead of whatever thing they need. They don't have to be addicted to the Black Market just by buying crates. They aren't only spinning for a crate weapon that they desire so badly, they are also helping out the game and having it stay alive for a long, long time.

I haven't won any zp crate weapons after around 100k zp of spending in 2 years, but I don't really care. I want to support the game, so instead of donating, I purchase ZP. The game is fun to play, it's simple and rather unique.

Didnt know that about the mod's, sorry for my ignorance.

Anyways Dot is right, no1 should be responsible if they cant handle it, blame their parents instead for giving them money in the first place, valid point there.

Also, yes, people dont have to be addicted to buy zp, I myself spent 120 euros on a total of about 230k zp and im not addicted to it at all but there's people out there that is, but again, they probably can afford to spend that ammount of cash.

On a final note I dont think any1 who buys zp thinks about the support they are giving to the game but whether if they get their weapons or not, for their own self.

Again that's how I think

Every time I see someone say they spent over $500 on this game, I cant help but to laugh. There's so many things in the physical world you can buy with that kind of money and IMO it's ridiculous to spend that much money for a couple virtual guns. I also laughed at the part where you're asking to bribe z8games for a higher chance of getting a gun. If you spent that much money on crates, I'm sure you know there is no 100% chance of you winning a gun and by spending your money on it, you're playing a lotto; you win or you dont. No one to blame but yourself for not knowing when to stop. :rolleyes:

i really don´t get this mindset. is it jealousy? you wish to be able to use this 500$+ he spent to buy things YOU can´t afford? i bought a japanese kitchen knife for about 250€. has it occured to me that a 10€ knife also slices tomatoes pretty well? yes, it did. is it better to buy cigarettes worth of 500$? ít is about spending capacity and personal interest in the product. afterall laughing at people who buy ZP it does not make a good impression. i wouldn´t spend money on stamps or other collectibles, but that does not mean i laugh at people who do so.

however i agree that it does not make sense to cry about BM. he ( and many others) think , that they are actually buying a certain gun in the BM when they are really just gambling.

He did not flame your post. He gave you an honest answer.

My parents are both dead. I outlived them a long time ago. He was not talking about parents giving their kids money to play this game.

You think wrong. Everyone that spends their cash to buy z8 points knows it's supporting this game unless it's one of those children you previously mentioned that gets their money from their parents.

I did a survey for 3k ZP and I bought one M4-C crate.
I won it together with 10k GP.
Then got the deagle camo with those 10k GP in the 3rd crate... I'm lucky? :')

If you feel ripped off by the BM, i suggest you stop doing it or stop complaining. In the end its a virtual gamble. You pay for the crates, not the main prize. Expect not to win anything.
