Weird, I was sure there were plenty of successful businesses that don’t involve offering unknown pixelated things for a set amount of real life money.

Gambling in a video game with actual money for pure cosmetics is just not something that I can get behind.

"Gambling" for cosmetics is about the only thing I can get behind. Because cosmetics aren't anything you need, as opposed to having to 'gamble' for actual game-useful stuff.

Like some of the f2p games I saw in the past where bank expansions were only rentals ("30 day inventory increase")... except they had permanent inventory expansions in the lootboxes, rare drop.

Yeah, no. Keep the 'gambling' for cosmetics. It's much easier to avoid, then.

These are the type of people you shouldn't give advice to. Maybe they'll die off eventually.

Would be even easier to avoid if they didn't do 'gambling' for cosmetics, either. Loot boxes are always a sign of a larger problem.

Pretty much any success in life comes down to willpower. Willpower needs to be practiced to git gud.

Doesn't matter if it is crown crates, chocolate cake crack cocaine, buying a house, raising good kids, saving for a holiday, not cheating on your wife with the neighbour's dog..

We all have things we need to learn how to resist to make our lives better.

If your willpower fails, don't beat yourself up about it. Just get ready to succeed at the next willpower test.

The world does not help us in this. Pretty much everything in this modern world is setup to manipulate you now. Supermarket shelves, bakery smells, loot boxes, caffeine, facebook.

The only way to survive and thrive is willpower.

A lot of bad advice in this thread.

My advice is to neglect your bills and buy in game things. Then if your bills get too bad, declare bankruptcy. I’m sure they won’t confiscate your ESO account to repay debtors

Now, there's an idea. Use ESO to shelter your cash reserves. Probably handy in lots of cases. Tough to get the money back out, but who would want to. Right?

You can invest the rest of your cash in cryptocurrency as well, which is untraceable, can’t be seized, and can easily be liquidated to a currency of your choice for non-cryptocurrency friendly purchases.

Implying that businesses don't respond to market incentives...

In any case, this thread does the heart some good.

Yes, but just you try to buy the loot boxes with bitcoins. That pretty much makes them worthless.
