srsly I'm thinking about boycotting it too after all these lep dvds... I admit, I have some free money for playing these RPGs, but then it definitely isn't fair for those who have been playing longer and worked hard for their stuff... I understand where you're coming from; it makes mufasa and Idle media look like they're just going after making money off this game, and forgetting about the majority who play that can't afford to pay... And to be honest, I can see a mass exodus from this game if bargain bin is left there. Let me know what I can do to help the cause. For now, I will stop buying dvd's from bin.

i believe that we all have reached a point in this game where as to if a person violates then they get violated....it really shouldnt matter if they r in a gang or not.....ive been thru my share as a gang leader and i trained up and handled mines and its done....alot of lower lvl's hide behind their crew...if u do dirt then dirt will come back to u....but this is PB so it is what it is[/quote]
so why did you get on my case about buying a dvd from the bin in the first place? Like I said, it had nothing to do with you... And the only reason I responded to this thread is because I had no idea that you were posting simultaneously on the forums while you were PMing me.
In PM, I thought you were one of the ones that I "stole" a dvd from. It became apparent that it wasn't after reading the threads. I simply asked why I was on your enemies list because I still wasn't sure what this had to do with you.
I NEVER came at you hard, and if you go back and read what I wrote, I never disrespected you bro. I just wanted to know why I was on your enemies list, and it was Auminer who provided an answer for me, not you (for the record). So then I asked what this had to do with you, and you said something about crossing gangs and you look out for each other.

Judging by what you're writing now, it sounds very contradictory.

For the record, I never once changed my mind or stance about the bin. From my PM to my replies in this thread; I've stayed consistent.

This message will probably piss you off, and let me assure you; that is not my intention. I don't want to wind things up. You keep telling me that I'm digging a bigger hole for myself, when all I want is answers to questions that you and other cannot answer. If you ask me for my personal opinion, bro, it looks as if you're the one who is digging a deeper hole for yourself. but again, that's my personal opinion, and it's not very matter of fact. I know you're a good leader to your own gang, and you look out for your own... But bro, being a good leader is also being able to aptly handle an outside situation. In this instance, you stepped in for something you shouldn't have stepped in... I was working things out fine with Auminer, and I have a mad amount of respect for him simply because of the civil way that he stepped in and handled his own shit. In fact, one thing that made me question HIS integrity is when you stepped in and started threatening me and my gang... Again, I thought it was YOU who I stole a dvd from, until I learned that you were just dealing with something that happened to Auminer.

Yeah, this should have been dropped a LONG time ago, but again, I was just looking for answers from the beginning.

So let me ask again. Why am I on your enemies list? What did I do to you, personally? And a new one; why is the other dude not getting picked on as much as you guys are making a mockery out of me?

Are we that bored?[/quote]To much text damn it thats why.

wth is this..is the bin ok to buy from or not?..[/quote]

This is just my humble opinion. I feel it is valid and good for that matter, not to mention logical within the realm of game play. As of right now, anyone who has 100 favors can choose to buy from the Bootleg DVD BIN when a DVD is in there. [b]They have put money into the game to do so and are using a game option (bold for clarity).[/b] It isn't even on the same level as sniping as they have put money into the game for it.

With that said, the imbalance is in the BIN itself. It only takes into account who has the favors to use it and not the favors spent for the product it's offered. In other words, I spent 15 favors per DVD, hours in the yard, hours horse trading ED's for DVD's and other time (just a general statement there). This offered no protection to my favors nor time spent to acquire said product. However, Mr. "X" over there plops down a credit card and buys up hours of my time as well as all of my favors leaving me with absolutely nothing. This literally could happen until someone has no DVD's left in ones cell, thus throwing away possibly 100's of hours of game time work.

Personally I do not fault someone for taking a chance at a random DVD at the cost of $15. I don't even fault a person for camping said BIN. That is a game fault. Mufasa even said himself it was meant to be a thought and decision on buying a random DVD and that it wasn't intended that all DVD"s get bought. Again, in fact when certain individuals are online, said DVD's are bought in bulk. The only conclusion that can honestly be drawn here, all emotion aside from the person buying it, is that the BIN is not working as intended and thus is in fact the problem.

Though I  personally do fault someone for trying to extort the shit at a horrendous buy back rate. Though, that's on them and that's their personality and I have stated it before, that is their right.

So please guys, with all due respect to everyone here, take a step back and try to see what is actually taking place. The BIN is not acting the way it was intended OR at least that is what was stated a couple of days ago by Mu.[/quote]

i agree totally with you..and just FYI, when i bought blues cheech..a friend had lost ts3 imax and i tried to save it...but i got the wrong one...i totally agree with not buying from the bin..unless to save your own dvd...BUT..this argument is now about why some people want to pick on some that buy and not others..and say its in the cause of a boycott..lmao

I personally think that a simple fix would be that if your dvd gets bought from the bin, you get 50 Favors out of it, while Idle Media gets 50 Favors out of it. Shit, I could make up for losing a dope ass dvd by getting a bunch of shit ones confiscated... And this will all wear down to the buyer, who will then think twice about actually spending 100 favors with more chances of buying shit dvd's from the bin. You guys think that would level out the bin campers and squatters? Give and take, take and give, no?

While I doubt they would give that amount of money back per DVD (figure $7.50) per DVD. I do agree with you on that something needs to be given to the person losing the DVD. I am not a game writer, creator, professional critic and I am not bitching or whine bagging about this. I just see an imbalance to this new feature. Just wanted to make that clear in case Mu decides to pop into the thread at some point.
