Actually, it's not "sooner or later", I can tell you exactly when it will happen. I have 216 open slots out of a total of 383 Rare slots; if the additional Weapon Mods are added, then I will have 251 out of 418 open Rare slots. To fill them all, as you suggest, I would have to play Gold, and average 20 minutes or less per match, for an hour a day for almost 8 weeks. Or, if the additional Weapon Mods are added to the pool in the meantime, that amount of time goes up to 9 weeks. Well, I can't play every day, so in order to get my quota, I'd have to play for 2 or 3 hours on selected days. And I'm not a Gold expert, so I'll no doubt have to play twice as long, if not more, to earn the same amount of credits. So, now we're up to about 14 hours per week for up to 9 weeks to get all my Rares maxed, and the character unlocks would undoubtedly only start to drop toward the end of that cycle, given the way the Store works, so I'm looking at 126 hours of gameplay to earn 12,424,500 credits, unless my math is off somewhere. And since that credits total only includes PSPs, I'd have to earn additional credits for Veteran Packs to replenish my consumables. And regardless, the actual items I value will be few and far between, representing only 66 of the 251 open Rare slots, or 26% of the total number or Rare items. And if I include the few weapons and other ancillary items I'm interested in, we're up to MAYBE 30% of the total. Sounds like a huge waste of time, to be honest.

Well then I have no idea how to help you.  That said, rare Character Cards and rare weapons have the same probability of being given to you. So unless you're vey unlucky, you'll have what you want before 9 weeks.

LMAO you could have had a few more PSPs in the time it took you to write all of this. Look, I would also like to be able to play 3hrs per night. But I work, am married, have other things to do. I may get 7-10 hrs in a week max. I understand that I'll never have everything maxed. You know what, who cares? There has been enough free stuff added to the game that I at least do have classes and weapons that are fun to use. I save 1.2 mil credits for Earth, got the destroyer, demolisher, acolyte to IX and pirrhana to V. I would like to have unlocked a slayer or shadow at the time, but instead of b*tching about it endlessly, I played a couple more rounds, got a few more PSPs and a Slayer. Nothing is perfect, there are perhaps too many items in the game that take up space in the store, but the DLC pals have been FREE, the variety means you're bound to find something you can use and enjoy, and if not, go play something else, straight up. You're not going to create some large quasi-political mass effect mass defect here as for the majority of players here the positives greatly outweigh thr negatives.

Wow...I didn't expect that at all. Well I want there to be summer without bugs, but yeah...not going to happen. And I think it's unreasonable for me to not only yell at people who suggest bug spray to me, but to also berate those who try to explain that they're just helping. This is what you're doing.

You missed the intended tone of my post and as someone who has helped you before and was on your friends list, I would have expected you to take my comment with a more friendly manner. If you can't even take constructive criticism from friends without taking it personally, then I'm glad I removed you.

You've shown your true colors to me and the rest of the community. And I never "bumped" your thread, I was posting my two cents. Which I'm allowed to do, "bumping" is merely a biproduct of my action. Your rage and narcissim is both clouding your judgement and ability to reason.

And I don't have to try to skew anything to be the "bigger man" as you put it, you simply make everyone look that way next to you and your irrational and irate postings. For a woman, you certainly play the role of a young girl quite well.

And don't worry I won't be "bumping" your thread further.

I'm fine with the store as is. And I typically play silver.

I completely understand the frustration of wanting X but constantly getting Y or Z, especially since they add even more Y to the mix, "diluting" your chances to get X. But everyone who has gotten their rares maxed had to deal with the whole "oh man another _____? ugh..." The plus side is that it won't last forever. Just keep saving up for PSPs and knock them out one by one. Since it's random, you never know, you could beat the odds and what you want.

But you're not looking for any advice or a solution, especially since the answer you want does not exist, you just want validation. You're right, it's harder to get the rares you want when more are added, especially when you want some from each DLC, but it's a minority in each pack. But that's the way it is, try new things and play with friends, the grind won't be so bad and when you do get that character, it'll be so rewarding.

I get what you're saying and you're right. But the answer/solution you appear to want does not exist. And while so many people have been very harsh/rude to you, I feel you've done it all right back, even at those with best intentions. I understand the frustration, and i'm sure I'd feel the same way you do, but your responses and reactions are cold and immature. You should let this thread die. 90% of the postings are not what you were looking for, nor helpful to the community; it's just a bunch of flaming and personal aggression.


tl;dr?
Your frustations are valid. It's unfortunate that all the other rares are hindering your desire to obtain the characters you want, but the solution you want does not exist. And for those people who offer the closest solution that does exist, you respond with hostility. The same "worthless answers" will cause frustration, because it's like being told the same thing a million times, but not everyone reads 10+ pages, just the OP. You need to give up and let go of this thread. The behavior of some in this thread is absurd, and I'm surprised it's not locked yet.

I get it. You're the Bigger Person™ here. Okay, good for you. I do find it odd that you bumped my thread to tell me not to bump my thread. I honestly think your post is more about you than it is about me. Usually in posts like these it's clear that the person simply wants to make himself or herself appear superior to all parties, by playing the Voice of Reason who is above it all. And you say I'm looking for validation?

Everyone's advice, yours included amounts to "deal with it", and frankly that's just not good enough for me. If I continue to accept the system and play the game, I'm telling BioWare that there is nothing wrong with the way they've structured the game. If I and other frustrated players simply stop playing the game, we achieve the dual result of alleviating the dissatisfaction with the game AND communicating our attitude toward the system to BioWare in the only way that they understand: numbers. If people stop playing, BioWare might—might—realize that they need to change the way they do things. But they probably won't, these are the people who think Synthesis is the "good" ending in the SP game. And even if BioWare does nothing, frustrated players who abandon the game are no longer frustrated by the game's absurd reward system. It's not like ME3 MP is the only fun thing a person could do.

And before you chide me again for my "hostility"—what did you expect? This community is not a cooperative community, any more than MP is a cooperative game. "Not helpful to the community". Please. If you're going to condescendingly scold me for being unpleasant, you're not going to get chastened contrition. I hope that's not what you were expecting. That's just never going to happen.
