70 Dollars, and nothing.

Question

You heard me right. I spent 70 dollars on you, game, and what do I get? Jack. *. A piece of the Computer Scientist and a piece of Toxic Brainz. Listen. I want to COMPLETE the damn characters, not start new ones. Give me the Computer Scientist, please, do something. I'm sick of not having these characters and this is my last hope for one. Please, EA. Please, PopCap, I want the Computer Scientist, most. The least you can give me is a small loan of 25 million coins... JUST LIKE YOU GAVE ZEROXFUSIONZ. If you're going to give one person coins, give another. Lamderman will remain hopeful for these characters...

{P.S. * it. It's never going to work. Begging will probably make it worse. Oh well...}
{P.P.S. I have ever scientist item from the Base Set, except the legends. Bottom piece of Computer Scientist and the Orbital Cube.}
{P.P.P.S. I also have a piece to every legendary now. Got all the party variants besides Rose. Bottom piece to Disco Chomper, Bottom Piece to Iron Citron, and Top pieces of Toxic Brainz and Computer Scientist. Give me one, please...}

Didn't Zero get all those coins due to abusing the coin glitch back then? Least that's what i seen people say at the time.

Most youtubers i know would just spend money to buy the coins since they rarely play the game aside for just one session of it to get their daily video of the game out. It would take them forever to unlock stuff in this game if they only played for about a hour a day

zero did get free 25 million coins, also zackscott. While I had to grind my millions of coins. I have all items you can buy with coins and have 15 million coins. I only used that coin glitch to get 2 million coins.&nbsp;

I don't recall Zack ever getting that much coins unless this happened a long time ago because i usually watch most of his videos and never recall seeing him have that much (unless this is very recent). Zack i know for sure buys a lot of coins. i know he spent over 200+$ just to show every single FLF item from the pack when that came out. Not anything i would support but that's another reason why the devs made the drop rates so crappy to begin with

I would say i could understand Zero getting a lot of coins because he covers the game a lot but 25mil? I don't even know what to say about that without sounding rude to the devs xP i would say just a million coins would have been fine. Anything beyond that is kind of a slap in the face towards the community especially towards those who have been playing and supporting the game just as long (longer than those two do)

I am no great fan of either Zach Scott or zero, but I could give a rat's patootie what the company chooses to give people who help them sell games. &nbsp;It's fake coins, FFS.

This kind of moaning in forums and such won't help anyone. The source of this whole problem is not that PopCap is just a bunch of meanie heads that are making the game a stupidly long grind for lolz, it's a business practice that is fairly common today. It works the same a freemium game does: You can get a desired item for free but it takes very long, so you kinda have to pay for it. In this case it's based on RNG or in other words, random chances but the odds are not great.

Also you have to understand that PopCap is not behind these things, it's EA. So complaining to PopCap on twitter is not very productive. Now you might ask how do I know it's EA? Well, they are the people who own PopCap and they're a business so their primary goal is profit and RNG is quite an efficient money grab at the moment. Activision (the publisher of Call of Duty games) has somewhere (don't remember where) stated that they made billions with it. And considering that making a little shop, worthless little items and then the items you actually want (in this case playable game changing characters) for a RNG cash grab doesn't take much effort, it makes for a good profit. The developers don't really want to put this in the game unless they get higher pay. The developers just want to make a good game that will be enjoyed by people and also a paycheck. So blame publishers.

But words aren't really enough. As long as they have higher profits this kind of stuff will continue. So the most efficient way to fight this, is to not buy any coins for the packs. Then they will notice that they aren't making profit so they won't bother with it if it doesn't work.

I personally have played GW2 for 660+ hours with 47 million coins spent (no coins bought) and I still don't have the computer scientist and I wouldn't have Toxic brainz if there was no rux or community challenges. So honestly considering the cost of the coins you will probably have to spend hundreds to get one character.
