There is no such thing as freedom of speech...you are not allowed to say certain things without consequences even in western societies. You cannot slander, you cannot threaten, and private entities have rules that should be moderated...I imagine including statements of dissatisfaction based soley on race. I love satire and maybe the original commenter is too stupid to perform proper satire and just bludgeoned into a bad joke. But there is no evidence that said thing is a joke at all. Person said they might get preorder now that the only black girl is all done with cards, and that the only time they buy things involved with black is with their coffee. The fact that they were afraid to even have a black person in their collection is super racist. There certainly are levels of racism beyond this...I am more disgusted by the fact that moderators will warn somebody about nudity in a non-nude thread before they would warn a customer about being racist towards girls that the company is trying to sell. This board used to respect girls, used to respect their differences, but I suppose the same people that allow this stuff to propagate on the board are the same people that are allowing the company to run itself into the ground and below.

What a fracking mouthpiece. Your mother should be ashamed of herself for raising such a one who speaks so proficiently out of his ass. Or at least the words have the aroma fecal matter around them.

I also have a tendency to resent being called 'stupid'. Especially by one such as yourself who seems to be lacking the ability to spell words properly.

Earlier today I was named a 'jackass' by our good buddy @JonnBGood. At least he had enough good sense to delete his posting before too many people saw it.

I see things going as two ways. Either the company is making money hand over fist with these promotions and the the vocal members on the forum are just a vocal minority or they are trying to ***** long members and drive the product out of business. Seeing a have seen team members bend over backwards to make things right and listen to user input, I really don't see option 2 happening. Giving the opportunity as they provide a wonderful product that keeps me out of shady places where one could get robbed or stabbed, Im for a little faith and seeing where this ship heads.
  • totem has great customer service
  • customer service does not run marketing nor work with investors.
  • totem is following tried and true mmo marketing techniques
  • they nearly went bankrupt in 2013
  • they needed money from investor for relaunch in 2015-2016
  • they have to pay back investors, employees, ceo and improve product
  • they have moved to what mmos call the "free to play" mode of the game after initial launch
  • a year ago the most fervent customer could only max out at about $36 a month based on 30 cards for 13 credit a piece.
  • the new special event and gambling model allows addiction to push the spending ceiling up to $100 a month or more...
  • So this is nefarious and greedy but very common in the online gaming industry
  • This always ends badly for the company and customers
  • casual participants notice a drop in quality and an increase in price...
  • The product becomes an increasingly small pool of large participants who have all special event cards and feel great about themselves
  • Eventually investors drop out and company goes into maitenance mode.
  • I actually to not have a problem with the nefarious techniques except they limit investment into product improvement because profit is not based on quality of product but quality of marketing.
  • notice totem didn't tout any improvements for 2019, just the continuation of technology and patterns that are limited and even inferior to their initial launch 3-4 year ago.

SPECIAL EVENT CARD: Josephine Jackson: Tartan Cutie

I now feel compelled to walk back my rant from yesterday a bit. I still don't dig on the concept of "Special Event" cards. My rant was about making collectors go through the Black Friday obstacle course and the Casino Royale horseshit from two weeks ago. For my purposes, as a full-collection kinda guy, I heartily approve of this weekend's promotion! Personally, I would LOOOOOOVE it if Totem would let us purchase next month's cards in advance EVERY MONTH - even without the additional discount! The additional discount is pretty sweet, though 😉 I can certainly understand, however, that Totem isn't necessarily 100% certain how many cards will be made available for purchase for the next 30 to 31 days. I'm not a fan of dangling an otherwise unobtainable card as an incentive to purchase a full month's cards. Personally, as a collector, I would accept such a promotion without the additional cherry on top. Don't get me wrong - I very much appreciate the cherry!

Here's an idea: Instead of offering a month's worth of cards to include a "Special Event" card AND a discount, why not periodically offer a full week's worth of cards with NO discount but with the inclusion of a "Special Event" card for free? I would think that would satisfy both full-collectors and more discerning collectors.

Perhaps this idea (or something similar) has been presented previously. Please forgive me if this is the case. Anyway, What d'ya think?
no

I don't want cards i don't want, how much simpler can i express this?
As a "bonus" from the scratch and sniff sh!t i have a hand full of low res crap cards i never will watch.
I don't mind special events like that for the steampunk card. No reason to buy into it if you don't want, because the card was made public two weeks later.

And i repeat my argument, if Totem wants to sell cards they should produce good ones. PERIOD.

On the other hand, i decided to never buy credits again, so i'm just here watching the ship go down and having fun on the ride while spending the last credits.

HEAR HEAR!
