Honestly what gives you, or anyone else the right to make that judgement?

Common sense.

Elaborate.  As it is their money, I would think they are the only person to decide that.  We don't really have much of a say.

Since $-bought packs are the same as credit-bought, all you're really buying is the time you'd otherwise be spending on getting those credits "for free". If that's worth it to you, feel free by all means.

So, given the situation, would it be dumb?

It is your money. Do whatever you want with it. Either people have good luck with the store with in-game credits/real money.....or they have bad luck with either.

Why do you care what people think lol


Because people tend to have a point.

You must not come on here very often. :P

Try the new stuff, you might be surprised - especially if one of those shotguns is a GPS.

That gun.... that ridiculously good gun.<3

Nublet gun if I ever saw one.  Get a Claymore and understand what a true shotgun can do.:devil:

I use Graal now. If one can headshot with it, that gun is pretty good. Also, it staggers reliably, which is of foremost importance on gold, especially against Geth.

I don't know if the Graal really counts as a "shotgun".  Hell I don't really know what it COULD be classified as...though I really should give it a try.  I keep hearing so many great things about it.

Though Gold is balls.  More annoying than enjoyable.

If you just want to do a few bronze games to raise your galactic readiness, you don't need to spend any money. Play and buy recruit packs with credits, and you'll be fine. It really won't take that many games to get your GR up.

But if $20 for a chance at unlocking vorcha is worth it to you, more power to you. It's not that much money.

If you have disposaible income like most working adults than its your choice to do with your money as you choose. I have bought a few packs with MS points I have had left over after getting some arcade games. Rather spend it on something I can use ingame then a tv show or avatar item.

People spend money on games all the time. This MP system reminds me a lot of the facebook games. Now you want to talk about some people spending too much money on games...oh my word.

Not really. Just watch how much you spend.

Next thing you know, you spend $20+.

I spent money on packs when I first started and that was it. When I first started the game I needed everything, even the XP cards, in order to be less of a leech and save what little free time I had acutually playing the game.
I seriously considered buying more when the last one came out but decided against it since I knew once I got the class I wanted I would keep getting them..... Forever.

Your money, you decide if 3-4 hours of your life is worth $20.

They can decide whatever they want but if i knew them personally i'd have some things to remind mind the product they're buying.

1.It's completley obtainable through in game means without real money

2.It's a wildcard and basically gambling for what you want 

3.It's good for at most another 2 years. You're probaly not going to be playing ME3 multiplayer beyond then. 

4.It's just really a bad idea in common sense terms unless you are very rich. I wouldn't shame someone for buying this, but i think it's something they would regret. 

3.

It depends:
You have the money? Are you sure that what you'll spend won't affect your economy in the future?

- If you are answer is yes, well, do it if you want. Personally, I won't spend money on something I can get for free.

- If your answer is no, well, then you are an idiot for wasting needed money on something as superfluous as this.

I'd regularly get point cards from family as a gift for random occasions or from my own purchasing and I'd use them. If you've got the $$ you don't mind spending go for it, there's nothing wrong with that. There was a fella on here that had everything maxed out and claims he spent $1000 of his own dollars to max out everything...

It is your money, do whatever you want.
Just remember that if you grind it out, you can get those things for free. All it takes is time and luck.

The problem is that you are expecting a certain outcome with the purchase. In case of the MP store the only thing you can be sure of is that BW/EA do appreciate the income. You are better off paying a bit more for an ipad and using datapad. Its about as amusing as the store...

Well if you're going to replay ME3 it means you wont have to buy another game to play so you'll be saving money. Also if you are PS3 or PC you are saving money by not having to to pay a Multiplayer fee unlike Xbox. You could also do some farming to get the credits as it's not that hard.

Its gambling, unfortunately.Where you're at, you don't have almost any of your rares maxed, and have a lot of characters to unlock.You would gain no matter what you get.  The game will likely max out your vanilla and Resurgence rares before it gives you a Vorcha.Look at my manifest, the ONLY characters I do not have maxed are the Vorcha (it says I am missing a card for the Pheonix Vanguard, but that is just the "skin tone" that it doesn't have)It does not like to drop Vorcha for me, and the odds are VERY low for you since you did not max your vanilla and Resurgence rares.  Try what you unlock, though.

To my surprise I got second place on the scoreboard on a Firebase Glacier speedrun with a Graal-toting Batarian Soldier!  :blink:

YOu never know what you might be really good at and enjoy.  Try what you get out when you get the urge to complain;)

Consider how much money you make at your job, compared to how quickly you can earn credits.

If you can complete a Gold mission in about 20 minutes, which yields roughly 80000 credits, the equivalent of $4, to a certain degree you're making about $12 an hour in ME3 cash. If it takes on average 30 minutes, $8 an hour.

If you're making more than $12 an hour at your job, it's a better time investment to spend some spare money than it is to play the game, if all you're concerned with is getting some credits.

I spend a little money every once in a while, probably more than I should, but I really do enjoy the multiplayer but don't have as much time as I'd like to play it, so it's an okay investment.

BSo is fantastic with the Graal, really.  Since Ballistic Blades stagger, it makes landing headshots with the Graal much easier.  The BSo doesn't have a huge weight capacity, but he can afford to carry the Graal certainly.
