First, make a bowl of candy that consists of 7 m and m's, 7 reese's pieces, 21 black jelly beans, 21 red jelly beans, 21 yellow jelly beans, 21 pink jelly beans, 21 lime jelly beans, 21 candy corn, and 21 of your least favorite candy ever.

Second, rent a movie that you absolutely love.

Third, start the movie then pause it for 15 minutes.

Fourth, start the movie and watch it for 5-10 minutes. Then wait 5 minutes.

Fifth, watch the movie another 5-10 minutes. Blindly and quickly, pick a peace of candy out of the bowl. Keep it but replace the exact same candy.

sixth, wait 15 minutes and then resume the movie for 10 minutes.

Seventh, repeat steps 4-6 until the movie ends.

repeat process until you have either 5 m and m's or 5 reece's pieces. Then you may eat the candy.

Make it even more fun and invite 4 people to watch a movie you all like.

Then invite 8 friends and 3 strangers to watch a movie, but this movie your allowed to exchange candy pieces with each other ever 3rd time.

If you complete this process, tell me how much you now like the movie and how many friends that still come to see the movie with you.

What I am asking for is more good candy, less nasty candy and no waiting to resume the movie. I don't even want to watch a movie, I want to a TV watch a show with no commercials.

When this game first came out, you had options.. You could watch the movie until you got a piece of candy you wanted. You could sell the candy that you didn't want to buy the candy that you did. If you got duplicates of the candy you wanted you could sell it and buy a piece that you did want or you could give it to a friend. Once, you had all the candy that you wanted if you acquired another piece of candy you could sell it and buy candy for another toon or try out some other candy. Only raids/trials group had to watch the movie. Fair enough. I still got to do what I wanted to do anyways, and most of that raid candy could be bought except for . Then monster candy came out. All bound to account. O.k. Its only 2 pieces of candy. But some people were only getting m and m's, some were only getting reece's pieces, and some never got any candy. So instead of unbinding these items to make them acquirable, you made a candy vendor. that makes no sense in my head, unless the vendor is to take gold out of the game. Why not just unbind the candy and give people like me who have all the monster candy I want, so I can sell it. Might give me a reason to still want to continue acquiring candy. But ales not an option. Then came the group dungeons that all candy dungeon gear is bound to account. No option but to rewatch the movie until you have all the candy or you get bored of watching the movie. If you get all the candy there is no reason to get more candy. You could watch the movie and hope you friend gets the candy, but instead you get the m n m's and your friend gets candy corn. Just like the monster set gear, but you don't have an elite dungeon candy vendor to sell you it either and even a social player like myself just can't watch the movie again because the candy is to unattainable. Don't get me started about the Veteran Mal Candy its much like how the Vet Dragonstar candy was acquired but with more nasty candy then ever before. I am happy though that the new raid candy is much easier to obtain on norm candy mode, but I do think that elite candy mode should give you elite candy, those people really earned their candy.

    is candy even a word anymore

    I'd be happy with just a token system. RNG is RNG but if you tell me that after 50 rounds of getting screwed over, I can pick what I've been looking for, I think I can live with that.

    It would be so awesome if the chance to get my favourite candy would actually be 7/161. I don't even know the exact number, but it's something below 1/480 for the candy I'd like to have.

    Remember that challenge in the Hall of Heroes that Makela Leki gives you?


    You must think as a sword-singer would. Which blade would be most suitable for a warrior who has achieved mastery of his or her technique?

    Well done. A true sword-singer would select the Training Sword because it is the swordsman, not the sword, that matters. You understand true humility. You have my blessing. You may enter the Chamber of Passage.



    Yeah. That's the game I want to head toward, not the game where people obsess over one piece of armor or a weapon with one specific trait.

    Makela Leki would probably also tell you to *** the candy, *** the movie, and go outside for a while. Your lease on life is more important than the crumbs of content you lease from ZOS.

    That would be nice.. 50 times watching the movie and you get to pick your candy. Then its attainable. then after 250 times watching the movie your guaranteed to have all the candy you want. Still a lot of watching the same movie though.

    How many candies were eaten? What time did their bus arrive in Denver? Show your work in the column provided:

    Seriously though,

    The basic mechanic is to grind for it, whether that's time spent visiting vendors or dungeons. I agree with you that making these things bound for no other reason than to force people to grind more instead of trade is frustrating.

    But you forgot the part where you take that nasty candy and throw it in the trash, just to find out that the candy maker made it with special ingredients that magically change inside the candy shell at a later date, making the candy effing delicious. Too bad, you trashed all that nasty candy.
