Why keep playing with BM if you already have a good weapon?
If you already have a good weapon, some BM version of M4A1 or AK47 for example, why do you keep playing with BM and investing more and more money? Perhaps some review says another weapon is better? Perhaps you are curious about any recently released cool stuff? Perhaps you want to get something rare or special and make other guys jealous? Perhaps you just want to collect all kinds of weapon?
I found BM is really addictive to me... It's like a casino. I keep playing with it for some exciting feeling, NOT for anything I really need. In fact I already have at least ten weapons won from BM. I don't need anything else besides one of them to improve my in-game performance. Most of these weapons have slept in my storage for a long time. But, every time when I saw a notice that someone won something, I felt like someone won big money from a casino and got excited... Then rush to BM again.
When I realized this I felt really guilty... Hey guys, do you have the same feeling?

I dont.Because i know that BM is a pure luck lottery.If you win it you are lucky,if not dont even try hard to get the weapon.If you already have a good weapon, some BM version of M4A1 or AK47 for example, why do you keep playing with BM and investing more and more money? Perhaps some review says another weapon is better? Perhaps you are curious about any recently released cool stuff? Perhaps you want to get something rare or special and make other guys jealous?

You are half right.We have allready good Gp weapons but if you want a OP weapon then BM is for that.
But even so atleast 10k of zp wouldnt mind just to test how lucky you are. -
With my past I certainly have an answer for this thread. Once I started playing crossfire it was about getting simply a better gun. Initially I wanted m4a1 custom because I wanted to be good at ghost mode. Then I wanted a better pistol so I got mauser etc. Then it became simply a contest with a friend because I knew every time I got a new gun he loved it. We fed off each other. I've played roulette a lot at Hoosier casino where I went to college and I loved the feeling of winning the small odds. Perhaps that is why I got into the black market. People don't understand that is really isn't gambling as you always win with each crate. Winning that best weapon and seeing the congratulations is exhilarating, and now that is mostly what I do it for but only for weapons that I think would be fun to use. I wouldn't ever be excited about winning rpk-gold or mini bc they aren't my style. I collect guns for sure, but more recently I only collect guns I would use. I have a lot of guns but I also use most of them, at least the zp I actually purchased. The gp guns are simply because I had so much gp I might as well own them all. It seems like a waste of money to buy zp crates, but just like at the casino you also pay for the experience, and once you win that new gun that would be great for gm and you are fist pumping on your bed, the experience is paid for.

Thanks a lot... I read your reply carefully and totally agree with that.
Actually I want to quit this feeling and stop wasting money... But it is difficult.

I think for the time being I will stop now buying crates as I own the M4a1 Patriot,M14ebr,Rpk gold and all the gp crate guns. So whats the point of other zp weapons when for me I've got the best guns for the modes i play.Although I suck with em all anyway.
...But then again if a better gun comes along who knows -
Thanks a lot... I read your reply carefully and totally agree with that.

I am partially glad you can reciprocate my feelings. If the feeling isn't worth it then set some parameters. I myself stopped using charges and switch to only ultimate game cards, which I must drive to CVS, 3 miles away, purchase and come back. This makes me me more conscious and thoughtful of my decisions and forces me to follow my budget to a T. If you are buying impulsively then this may work for you. -
why you should quit this game only for that O.oThanks a lot... I read your reply carefully and totally agree with that.

it doesnt have any sense.
If you have feel to spend money on the zp just buy something to eat.
The addiction will pass you,just you must have strong will inside your head. -
Maybe because they like the game,so they keep paying to have some cool guns and don't have to use the same ones over and over?For me,I haven't won any gun that I rly wanted except the winchester yet.~500k zp(100k bought) and I didn't win a zp gun,so I keep doing surveys and buying a few zp every month.

Don't take the game too seriously. It is just a game to meet other players. I wish it is easier to win guns. I got so discouraged that I hardly go to black market anymore. I "steal" the dead players' black market guns sometimes just to get a kick. lol But no I can't spend hundreds dollars for a single black market gun. Spending money you can't afford is sad and is why a lot of ppl stay away from free online games.

Thank you very much. This is a really good suggestion. -

If easier,more people will have it,then what's the point of having it? -

I couldn't agree more. Have you seen or heard the amounts of money people have actually wasted on this game? Or any other free game in general. Just play the game.
