Encouraging people to spend money?

[Muirkirkkirk]

I'm starting to sense that the matchmaking algorithms favor players who make purchases over those who don't. This is evident in the shuffle algorithms, and I'm noticing a distinction between my free-to-play phone account and the one on Steam where I've spent money. It appears to mirror the matchmaking patent developed by Activision to increase revenue. This will only greed will only increase as the player count dwindles.

Jupp, and i quit and moved to omega and i can't recommend that enough. It's an overall MUCH better experience an dactually feels like a game, not a slotmachine.

What's the full title of it? I can't seem to find anything under Omega at the very least and I am always interested in seeing other card games.

Edit: Oh never mind, you meant Yugioh Omega, forgot the name of it. My B.

League of legends system literally rigs every single match in order to keep you at +-50% win rate.

I mean how hard can it be for konami to do the same thing?

Lottary and all other supposed luck games algorithm searches for thousands of numbers in under a minut to check which numbers have been played by the least participants in order to give back as less money possible.

What i am saying is that it is not hard to rig a match before it begins, or even rig a match during the durations of it by giving the player the key cards.

Now naive people will come and say "why would konami do that", well i don't care why they would do that, the point is that it is possible to be done and many companies already doing it for years.

It would be stupid not to use any means possible to trick people into buying more product. As long as there is no regulation they can do whatever they want. And without an API to collect statistics it's impossible to prove anything. magic did it years ago as well and get caught. And konami being just as bad as wotk and activision (if not worse) it is almost granted that this game is rigged in any way possible. Just play a couple rounds on Omega and you'll see the difference is night and day.

They still do

To be fair, at least one of the cheats in Arena is actually in the player's favor (a hidden mulligan to make fewer non-games). With stuff like that, I'd expect that it was Omega screwing with the RNG in order to make the game suck less rather than Konami doing so to make the game suck more.
