Thank you for being such a moron about it. So much about expressing our mind in these forums, not only OOO is not listening, we have to deal with people like you. Thank you for that.

The point of that comment is? There's an equivilant amount of "older", "more mature" people who "think more for themselves" who end up being biased, insulting, impolite, and overly negative towards the system and making derogatary stereotypes than there are "14 year old fanboys" blindly defending it.

If you're not going to try to express your mind in any polite/professional manner, then don't even try. There are thousands of others like yourself saying the same things in the same idiotic manner and I imagine at some point, OOO will want to ignore them because they can't hire a cryptologist all the time to decode all your trainwreck posts.

@Gravelord the difference
@Gravelord the difference between me and you is that I don't take it personally when OOO rolls out updates that I don't 100% agree with, or gives away free items to people on twitter, or even these elevator passes that all of my knights missed out on. I just play the game, and enjoy the bonds I've created with my guild mates and people on my friends list. Anything outside of that community I couldn't care less about.
It would have been nice to get a free <$3 worth of an elevator pass, but if I were to want one I'd just spend $6 and get a 30 day pass. (Before you say there are people who can't buy them because they don't have a credit card to do so, you can use prepaid cards that can be bought from most any convenience or grocery store for cash, so anyone with access to $10 can buy a prepaid card if they were so inclined)

They're stating their opinion based on the subject at hand. Not just going "hey OOO you suck lollichops and should go back to skool" and not backing it up with anything.
@Everyone who's concerned about alts increasing chances of getting Elevator pass
A lot of us have elevator passes on our mains, (as the majority of people who have alts are P2P players) and those of us who don't have an elevator pass have alts that aren't even past Sovereign Slime, so there's not much of a loss there.

Well, at least it turned purple.
We got an explanation, and I'm happy they at least try to explain things to us when we show a large, genuine concern. I won't comment on whether or not it's fair or logical. It's their game, they make the rules and we follow them because we play the game. So go get em knights who got an elevator pass. As for the rest who didn't like me, go make the most of your time elsewhere when you're done. Like me, I'm gonna study so I can make some money and buy my own in the future.

Also, I think the admin's have the wrong impression.
"so there's no way for someone to increases their chances."
-Most of us didn't directly want to know a criteria so we could receive one. We were really confused and just wanted to know the connection between it and the players who received it. I hypothesized it was random to begin with and you confirmed it, but I hope you don't leave this forum post thinking less of your fanbase's concerns and continue to keep our voices in consideration for developing the game further.

As much as I don't like the random nature of the "gift giving" (if they wanted to test something like this, they should have sent out something less valuable than a Elevator Pass), I am curious about why they're doing this.
Why would they need to send a selected group of individuals or even a random group of individuals a specific item?
Are the Battle Sprites going to be shipped to older Knights this way?
Or is it for some completely unrelated reason?
What does all of this entail?

it not something to worry about, i mean yeah they give away elevator passes which would be better just gift away something that wasnt lot valuable or a variant ticket. but it just an ele pass nothing of the other world and it just 2 week pass. and honestly i dont think 2 weeks with a small group of people with E-passes would raise the energy price drastically.
i just want to believe OOO Gifted away E-passes to random individuals to gather info about what they going to do with them, which most of them will spent it on cake events until tuesday, then the rest of the week going to be for King of Ashes runs.
So OOO can see what E-Passes user do with their Free elevator rides. they will see that E-Passes only spent it on KoA so they can realize that KoA its the most played and "farmed" place for crown and with hope we can expect a nerf in mission payouts or missions nerfs at all.
Would be kinda pointless to give E-Passes to old users or users with high prestige because you can expect them not going to something due lot of them got bored by the game, or will extend their KOA runs, etc. giving random individuals E-Passes its ok because some of them arent full 5 stars, or some of them 5 full stars and so on, giving you different kind of people which going to give you lot of different info about how they will spent their time without being limited to play the game. but i bet most of them would spent it on KOA and honestly i hope that so OOO can realize something :P

This was unrelated to Battle Sprites. Fear not.

Anyways, on topic, a bit of a shady "experiment" if you ask me , specially after the recent bunch of event turning the community into a giant pile of fire: OOO could have gone a bit better about it (it does feel like a way to calm people after the UI update caused such an uproar) but it's still a nice thing for the people who got it.

This isn't a "nice thing" though, it's just a random bout of inequality.
Why should a random portion of the player-base get epasses? What does OOO possibly hope to accomplish with this?
"We're experimenting with a system that allows us distribute items to players and test out what aspects of the game are of interest to different types of players. I'm afraid we're not able to give out more details other than there is no specific trigger to obtain an item, so there's no way for someone to increases their chances."
Which is great, but can't you guys just... you know... go into the game on alts and make observations there? It's an interesting experiment, sure, but a necessary one? I would have to disagree, especially considering that it's unfair to those who did not receive the epass.

Well, most of us (I'll talk for myself) never got one, and most likely it's hard to get when you need to multiply the price of the elevator pass * 5 and then add the 21% of it.

#148
Um.
Birdsong's giveaways were of CE. CE that would improve the market. They were to stimulate the growth of the game, and were a purely good thing..
This 'giveaway' is of epasses. Epasses that will inevitably hurt the market. They will not stimulate the growth of the game, and there is no "fun event" surrounding them.
That is the difference.
