I am sick of the people suggesting MA is a casino... yes it is nice that the occasional noob gets an uber... but from a statistic standpoint... MA is clearly not a casino...
Entropia is NOT close to a casino... by any means...
MA has stated in everyone's support case who has bitched about returns...
"your luck will change"
They can say this because it is true and this is what gets EU around gambling laws....
THE MORE U HUNT.... the more skills you get and or the better your loot gets...
If you check entropiatracker... you can see what i mean...
http://entropiatracker.com/index.asp...alltimeTopList
all the top hunters averages are 120-150 average global size (total globals divided by loot)
all the top miners average are between 130-170 average global size
now if you look at anyone with 100-300 globals their average global size will be between 85-100 peds...
there of course will be some outliers... but this trend holds true to 99% of all players...
So you see from a statistic standpoint MA is not a casino... there is a formula that goes into loot... and all people are the same in the end... on an average global standpoint...
I am not suggesting profits happen for all... but i am suggesting all peoples average global size increases...
For example...
My society mate... had around 781 globals... and 75k TT value...
this is a 96 ped average global size... far too small with someone at almost 800 globals... (compared to other hunters...)
I told him to keep it up... he should be around 100-110 peds TT on his global average by now...
110-96 = 4-14 peds... MA was shorting him 4-14 peds per global for the amount of globals he had... and to get to 110 he would need... 4-14 x 782 = around 7-10k pedder... or many hofs...
a week or 2 later he hit a 8.8k ped prot...
everyone should look at their stat tracker... and see how many globals they have...
for me i am a little above average... then most
Joker Poker Uber Smoker
131314 PED ....967 hunting globals = 135 peds average hunting loot
anyways... i hope this helps explain why and how MA is not a casino...
and shows how as you hunt more... statistically speaking... ur loot values increase... it maybe due to skills or just peds cycled... I don't have that answer...
At casinos... the more and more you pump money in... there is no grantee a higher return...
at Entropia... the more and more money you pump in (hunting and mining) there is a grantee your return will become higher and higher...
it has to... to aviod any gambling laws
And again for those who dont read very well...
I make no claims about profit... or time spent... or weapons used...
I specifically LOOK AT GLOBALS vs Total Loot
