Ragnarok Battle Academy + Fairy Tail RPG + Garena Gambling? K/DA Akali Prestige Edition Skin Event
19Weekly Gaming Update by Pinoy Gamer! Lets talk about the ROBA or Ragnarok Battle Academy which combines RPG and Battle Royale, then let's discuss the reaction of SEA Players because Garena introduced a gambling mechanic on the new event for K/DA Akali Prestige Edition skin, we will also talk about Lineage 2M, Cyberpunk 2077, Fairy Tail RPG and finally Soulworker Zero EN version for mobile.
Garena K/DA Akali Prestige Edition skin
- Recently the SEA Publisher for League of Legends “Garena” introduced a new event called K/DA Akali Prestige Edition skin
- and instead of being purchasable via Riot Points well they used a gambling mechanic to get the skin
- and is getting backlash from players
- so what's the issue?
- according to the lore
- K/DA Akali misplaced a song for her comeback concert and so requires the plays to find the missing songs
- sounds easy right?
- well nope
- you will need to spend RP to participate where you need to correctly select the song while its shuffling
- so basically this a loot box mechanic requires luck if got the wrong one this will result on a random reward until you get the correct soundtrack
- according to Dotesports in order to guarantee a skin drop you will need to spend 10,000 RP
- this will allow you to remove the eight soundtracks with the final one being the correct one
- hence winning the K/DA Akali Prestige Edition skin
- in one of the reddit post with currently more than 500 upvotes
- players showcased their dismay regarding this mechanic
- with some players saying the Garena is worst the mobile games
- here is one post from a Filipino player
- “I'm a player from Garena PH. As scummy and as money-grabby as these events look, you can easily get good things from it for as low as low as a dollar. We aren't forced to buy these things and you can still get the items the normal way, a.k.a. buying them from the store.”
- however not all are siding the this is bad as one redditor states
- “While I'm not defending Garena's shady business practices, in the Philippines 10000RP is just slightly under 40USD (which is still a cheaper option than purchasing 100 prestige points manually)”
- yes this is cheap for some people but in the Philippines 40 usd is a lot of money
- which another reddit user said
- “For a lot of people here, it's at least 2 whole days worth of income.”
- we won't argue with this because it's true
- and the sad thing is a lot of mobile games in the Philippines are currently using this loot box type of mechanic
- like Mobile Legends and Rules of Survival
- so are we going in this direction? will our government regulate this?
- who knows
- but what do you think?
