I agree with you @boan000 ,

Totem must allow its best customers to acquire these cards outside games of chance.

This would be true recognition, for their loyalty, and would encourage people to acquire the entire collection, to finally get those cards.

Obviously those who would like to obtain these cards by the "Gambling", could always prevail of this means.

Following games of chance, and after a while, those who do not have the entire collection, could also acquire these cards with a cost of acquisition, which could go down, depending on the number of cards that people have.

Totem gives 45% off, plus 30% off for reload, plus 20% and 4k for premium...so the "best" customers can get a 25 credit card for less than 10 credits if they do the full 1320 reload bonus....you are looking at nearly 60% off compared to a new customer. And it is obvious many people would fill their collections if each card was still 25 credits. Stop acting entitled to something. You paid money for cards. You have access to the cards...totem doesn't owe you anything. You have thousands of cards to enjoy...enjoy them.

@orclover,

I wonder a lot about the motivation of some people on the forum to defend the policy of Totem regarding SEC that can be obtained only by games of chance? Is it because you like to empty your money?

Totem owes us a lot, since we are his source of profit. No customer, no profit. It's a very simple calculation.

The best companies have understood that. It is not for nothing that they seek to know the satisfaction of the customers.

Does Totem really want to know our satisfaction, as for their policy on gambling as the only way to get some special event cards?

I have never had a questionnaire to that effect.

I especially think that they rely on people on the forum, who enjoy trying to deconstruct what is brought as a solution, which could be a good compromise for all, to continue on this path.

For my part I prefer to pass me special event cards, which encourages gambling, to acquire it.

@orclover ,

Je me questionne beaucoup sur la motivation de certaines personnes sur le forum à défendre la politique de Totem concernant les SEC pouvant s'obtenir seulement par les jeux de hasard ? Est-ce parce que vous aimez-vous faire vider de votre argent ?

Totem nous doit beaucoup, puisque nous sommes sa source de profit. Pas de client pas de profit. C'est un calcul très simple.

Les meilleures compagnies ont compris cela. Ce n'est pas pour rien qu'ils cherchent à savoir la satisfaction des clients.

Totem cherche t'il vraiment à connaître notre satisfaction, quant à leur politique sur les jeux de hasard comme seul moyen d'obtenir certaines cartes évènements spéciaux ?

Je n'ai jamais eu de questionnaire en ce sens.

Je pense surtout qu'ils se fient sur des gens sur le forum, qui prennent plaisir à essayer de déconstruire ce qu'on ammène comme solution, solution qui pourrait être un bon compromis pour tous, afin de continuer sur cette voie.

Pour ma part je préfère me passer des cartes évènements spéciaux, qui encourage le gambling pour en faire l'acquisition.

What would be stupid for a company is to turn its back on their best customers by not allowing other alternatives to purchase some of their products, than by gambling.

Ce qui serait stupide pour une compagnie, c'est d'en venir à se mettre à dos leurs meilleurs clients en ne permettant pas d'autres alternatives d'achat de certains de leurs produits, que par les jeux de hasard.

You do understand that 5-9 years ago cards cost you approximately 20 credits for a 720 card that had 3-5 full nude clips and were in general fairly low quality. You now pay <10 credits(if smart) for a 4k card that has between 10-13 full nude/xxx mixed in...with high quality costumes and talent. How is totem supposed to increase the quality of the product without raising the price? Or actually dropping the price for many people? They rely on investors. Some of these investors are gamblers who want to take advantage of the company by stealing credits through a game of chance, a game of chance that was created by the company, or some of these investors are collectors who will pay a steep price to top off their collection. Most of us refuse to try to steal from the company in the off chance that we win the lottery, most people tend to enjoy a standard and fair exchange of goods. One card for $1. Totem still offers a fair exchange of goods while also allowing investors to fill their coffers.

@TheEmu Exactly!!! And, uh, duh? We've spoken a lot about Totem's motivations. And we agree. Now let's speak about ours. If we don't like the direction of the company, we shouldn't support that direction with or purchases. Unfortunately, it's a collective action problem. My decision not to purchase SEC cards in any way at all isn't enough. And this particular SEC card was nearly tempting enough to cave.

The equation that Totem needs to balance and is balancing is whether reasonable people like ourselves choose to continue to play the game where they pull all the levers, pun intendended. I can't control their decision making, only my own. I do know there's a point out there where if they paywall enough content, I'll defect.

There's a classic economic experiment called the Ultimatum Game, and it's about fairness. Two participants, Spliter and Decider. The Experimenter offers the Splitter a dollar to divide between the two, but only if the Decider agrees to the division. If the Decider says no, they both get nothing. In theory, the Decider should say yes to anything, because, free penny. But in practice, the Decider often says no to <$0.25, because FU.

That's what I'm heading towards. I like being able to buy hot girls for my desktop. I'm starting to ***** the sytem that provides them because I perceive it as unfair. It's easy enough for me to skip the SEC BS now. If it starts to grow, I'm gonna skip it all even though it ***** me personally. Because we're social monkeys who learned how to share before we could talk. And I know fair when I see it.

@theEmu Huh? Extra effort?

I wasn't there on the set when they shot Jia or any other SEC, but it doesn't look like the Clockwork Orange outfit cost 25x a typical outfit. I can't comment on the lighting or the camerawork on account of not owning the card.

Since I joined a decade ago, they've increased their output of shows. I can only assume that's because the marginal revenue from producing more shows exceeds the marginal cost. If MR>MC, continue to produce. Basic Econ. That was true before the gamification of rewards as well as after.

I wasn't paying perfect attention on release day, but I think it fell under the normal release schedule, which was fine for 25 credits / card in any other month. The director said it's one of the best cards he's ever shot and her personality's amazing, so it seem unlikely that she was a real ***** in the butt or otherwise requires added "effort.

Added effort was definitely spent on making casino games, and they're clearly profitable or it wouldn't be continuing despite widespread discontent.

I'm not arguing they're failing to maximize profit. I'm observing they're making us crazy. And that the only way to get around it is to stop playing crazy games.

What you should wonder is if the casino stuff is so wildly profitable, what's the reductio ad absurdum? Will we have "Special" cards every Friday in two years? I very well hope not. But if we the community keep treating the cards they've made artificially rare as prizes, they will be financially incentivized to do so.

Maybe there are members out there who really love paying more than 25 credits for "rare" cards and prefer this system to a la carte, but I'd actually bet not many. The community as a whole was better off before the "improvements" spins and scratches have brought us.
