I spent 618 Euro = 706 US$ until yesterday. :shepspends: Last year I spent "only" ~30k points early and at least got Neymar 86, Hazard 88, Reus 86, Falcao 88, Götze 85 and Benzema 85.

I pulled 2 more informs today, unfortunately not IF Ronaldo. Because IF Ronaldo is a streamer card it seems. All 5 Fifa streams I checked have IF Ronaldo unpacked. :ortiz:

At least I got three 83+ squads (BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A)

My Hearthstone spendings surpass my Fifa spendings by far. I just bought another 12000 points.

None of that changes that you're an insane moron literally throwing hundreds at lottery tickets whose expected payout, up front and in your face, is nothing.

Like, yes, people can spend their money how they want, but they should also expect to be laughed at and called an idiot when they're literally doing worse than just straight up lighting it on fire (since that actually provides some light and warmth, even if it is temporary)

Well, I have fun in spending my disposable income for Games, Micro Transactions and my Hardware.
My result of 600 packs may or may not help for decisions regarding pack buying.
It's amusing tho beeing called a moron because I do what others don't like or can't.

No we're calling you a moron because what you did was dumb. Even if I could spend 700 dollars on fifa points (and i'm sure there's enough people in this thread that could), I wouldn't, because it's incredibly stupid.

My god the salt is so loving real in this thread. Why is it okay to buy packs in hearthstone, but not in this game? I haven't seen a single person rip people up in that thread for buying packs. The day the expansion came out it was tons of people buying packs. Here it's like you are a poo poo head if you don't play the game the way other people expect you to.

It's because Hearthstone is a card game first, and free to play.

FUT sent FIFA in the wrong direction, and since it's a cash cow because of turds like PayDay, now a ton of the incremental changes every year focus on it.

I don't know much about hearthstone, but the odds of using any of the cards you open in FIFA is like 10% and they literally become entirely useless when you inevitably stop playing the game in 4-5 months or when the next cycle of the game comes out (1 year). I don't mind that he spent his disposable income on virtual cards in FIFA, as long as he knows it was indeed a waste of money. It's just a dumb thing to do. But from the looks of it, $700 is chump change to Mr. PayDay.

Paying for packs is my shortcut: I can play right from the start with my own UT and Squads I otherwise would have to build over many weeks or even months. I dont want to invest Time in trading but playing.
I read that some web App traders needed 4 days and Nights just for 50k gold.
Do you call THIS "waste"?
Because for me trading would be waste of Time.
Depends on how you value your own ressources. I got "more" money than spare time.
I invest in my Personal time to play and beeing independent. This worth my money. I can afford spending stupid amounts of money in virtual bullshit. Because it is fun for me.

Heaethstone might be free to play but if you think you can pick the game up at this point and be competitive without time or money or lots of face Hunter, you are wrong. Criticizing someone for playing how they want to play is such a stupid and childish thing. I see the rates are poo poo myself and will only drop $60 before the first happy hour, but that is just me. If he has the disposable income it is what it is. It's no different than two $300 nights at the bar.

It's not because it's a waste, buying and playing videogames is inherently a waste, it's because it's loving stupid. Its like spending your money gambling at a table you know is rigged because you just enjoy gambling. You're addicted to gambling and you're an idiot for playing a rigged game.

Don't buy packs kids.

For what it's worth I would make fun of anyone spending a lot of real money on hearthstone packs also but this is worse for the reasons stated and you should expect to get made fun of

BTW you could have spent $700 on coins and had any player you'd possibly ever want, that's also why this is dumb and you are dumb.

Imagine all the clicking that occurred after purchasing $700 worth of packs, assigning all those cards to his club.
