Actually, most of my processing is states side. I just happen to live on a beach in another country now. And what I’m noticing is the chargebacks and refunds have shot the moon lately. This is very reminiscent of 2009. Pixonics pricing crash seems to correlate to. What I’m seeing. So I’m wondering how much of tbis is burnout and how much maxed out. I suspect it’s alittle of both. Time will tell, but my suspicions are well noted. The brothels where I live are also thinned out. As I live in a redlight district and rent rooms to foreigners (and a fair amount of local students. Go figure lol), I’d say the recession is definitely here for at least Asia. I suspect the states too, but not too many Americans here anymore to make a definitive determination on that one. Thanks for the follow up and I do well know the world is looking like 2009 why wouldn't it they didn't fix anything and there is more debt and derivatives now than ever. The too big to fail banks got bigger! I am actually hoping Trump is going to run up the FED more then pull a Jackson and make it go the way of the first and second national Banks of America. Owe who?  LOL Like those about to file bankruptcy max everything out and spend spend spend first. Anyhow just my thoughts, no I am not in the money bizz but my wife was a bank operations manager for years at WA Mutual that was screwed by Chase and I did lose a house in 2009. Lots of old fashion home schooling LOL. It's my job to have a very good pulse on industrials and basics here in the US.. Things humming along nicely, on the surface. It's a game of chicken with debt... One day it will all unravel, but the easy money is still flowing. It's hard to say what will make it all come apart or when, but prepare accordingly. |

You can now get a fully decked out Ao Ming for only $1750. Ho, ho, ho! Oh come on this is SOP. First its expensive to get the impatient I gotta have it now crowd, then drop it a little for the ones that almost took the bait before. In a little while it will be 50% off and some other random ways to get it. After we all get some they will have to put out new OP stuff so the must have now crowd can spend and the cycle starts again. Nothing new under Pix's Sun. Dunno. I don't remember a release where the new OP bot goes on sale within a week of the release date. Seems more like an issue of looking for a price point very early. I'm sitting in Champions League 2 on iOS right now so I see the CDXX boys and such on a regular basis in matches. I bet I can count the number of Ao Mings I've seen on both hands and only at the end of a match where players would be meched out otherwise. If the Ao Ming were a really good bot the top clans would be dropping it early to show us their new toys. Not saying Pix can't make it so that these trash heaps aren't OP, but they aren't now and it looks to me like the spenders are holding back. |

The big boys run Ao Ming’s in iOS, the alphas don’t run Kid, not much, but Ming as you say isn’t killing it like Leech, Phantom, Ares, Ao Jun, Merc, Invader and Spectre in their early days. This time is very different, the balance will change to drive the sale, it must, this is Pixonic after all. |

Yea this currency canât be farmed. Canât be grinded. your limited to 20 per day, thatâs it. And if u miss the task, to bad also, no saving up from before. Man, look at that 1B silver, nice. iow, yea true whale this time, spend thousands on it. No more second guessing, luck (those stupid lottery games My task rolls over...at least the top damage one for 3000 honor. Does it stack with 2 new ones? I assume you get 2/day. If 1 rolls over, you effectively only get 1 new one that day. So far, I've cleaned the slate and sitting on 175 Pt. I'm not sure I'll ever get a chance to spend it. <begin mini off topic rant> 「fluffernutter」 I hate the Leech invasion. </end mini off topic rant> |

BTW, I mentioned in another thread that if you do want to get the upcoming operations pass, you might want to hold off on purchasing it until January. That should put some additional economic pressure on mail.ru for the present quarter which seems to be the only way they give better deals.  Oh come on this is SOP. First its expensive to get the impatient I gotta have it now crowd, then drop it a little for the ones that almost took the bait before. In a little while it will be 50% off and some other random ways to get it. After we all get some they will have to put out new OP stuff so the must have now crowd can spend and the cycle starts again. Nothing new under Pix's Sun. Nothing new...as in nada, zilch, zero... Yup, just like the zero they added to the end of the price tag, lol. |

I expect to see Pt loot boxes - guessing in 50, 250 and 500 increments. MAYBE 100, 350, 700. Expect them to be as rare as winning a full Leech or Phantom. I.e. it will still take $100 to “win” an Ao Ming. Maybe.....however, it has been discussed recently that loot boxes may be going away or gone, hence everyone getting a “free” Titan. The heat is on from consumers everywhere to get rid of “gambling” from online games.....I suppose we shall know soon enough how Pix will open our wallets with Titans-unless one joins our 500 club first! Membership is guaranteed free! Yes, there is talk and some action towards making laws banning this shameful practice. But until it's officially banned, you can bet that Pix will milk it for all they can. |

Just remember....the toast is an Urban Legend..... Like the old joke, a baptist preacher sees a drunk walking by the river, and asks the drunk if he wants to find Jesus. The drunk agrees, and the preacher proceeds with the baptism. After he pulls him up out of the water, he asked the drunk if he’s found Jesus. The drunk says no, so the preacher holds him down under the water, this time much longer. Then he finally lets him come up, and asks if he’s found Jesus yet. The drunk says no again, causing him to be submersed again until he nearly drowns. When the preacher finally let’s him come up to breath, he asks the preacher “...are u sure he fell in here”? |

A little off topic... But you know what I like best about the Titans? I like that Vengeance gun on top. I like how it comes down and then the heavy pow pow sound. It reminds me of Tempests and kinda makes me want to dust off my L10 Tempests and level them up some more. Other than that...meh. My Kid Titan is just an extra bot that I play like a mobile gun turret. No emotional attachment to it at all. I've only seen on Ao Ming so far. Sure, it got me, but that's because I was caught in the open with my Ao Jun and that Ao Ming soaked up everything I could throw at it. For a hot air balloon, it can take a pounding! I like that heavy quad cannon machine gun as well, and I lament that it never reaches it's full potential on Kid before it folds back. All my Platinum is being saved for an Arthur. Hmm, why would Pix do that, make a weapon that has more capacity than it can fire within the ability timeframe? I can't imagine what they were thinking...or can I? It's almost like it needs a Core Pilot with Vengeance Speedshooting Skill, lol. Or better yet the Legendary Core Pilot that has Unique Skill - Kid's Abilities last 20% longer. Then add Speedshooter, sharpshooter, armor piercer (think negative defense points) Add an Onboard Engineer for speed, stove damage, stove radius, etc. skills and a Hull Operator for defensive skills and you'll be all set. Yup, pix planned ahead on this one. |

Investing in Russia is considered risky, investing in Russian internet company is off the charts risky. I hope you didn't get burned (too badly). I held for about 18 months in a Fidelity account and walked at a 19% gross. After fees & charges, we cleared 12% for the term. Not stellar, but not too bad. |
