They are called whales for a reason.

Read the comments this past week, let alone just from the post and how does this not sound like jealousy? Don't negate one thing for another. Yes people are upset with how things are but you don't deserve to act like this.

Whether or not they are jealous, it doesn't take much for someone to understand that "what a sad life these people are living" is toxic. Your comments so far is dismissing their attitude as their right to do so because the actions of Oasis.

Sorry did not want to shame the source material. I will the next time though since I got your approval

Maybe because there are people out there that can spend that much and are ok with it. There are people that are wealthy that view spending $750 per week (which is what people would be spending for madara in December) like $5 on something that isn't worth much. If people can pay $1000 for chicken wings, then it is not hard to understand what people are willing to buy that you don't think it is not worth.

Everyone gets to have an opinion but you don't deserve to act like a donkey about. You can express how you feel without being rude. Yet again you are proving my point that you aren't acknowledging that judging someone's life isn't in someway not toxic. You might feel my opinions towards the toxic players (might as well include you since you don't understand what I'm saying) as toxic if you believe I'm calling you out for your behaviour. At this point, it's a parent-child dynamic where the parent thinks the child is out of control and the child thinks the parent is too controlling.

For your response with my chicken wings example, both the chicken wings and madara both have bragging rights and that's what people that are capable of buying that much get to have whether or not you care. Yes I know it's weird that bragging rights can give people joy but it happens yet that's what they are paying for in a sense. Someone's enjoyment is different from other people. Name one thing you are willing to spend on something that brings you joy, which someone might think otherwise. What people are doing here is that they are insulting people's choice for spending something that brings joy to them. Who cares let them. However, if you feel like the need to insult them, then what's the point? Which brings back to my point as jealously as one reason. If you can think of a better reason why people have insulted then be my guest.

My example of the $1000 chicken wings is referencing the one in NYC where it is covered in gold where I don't think would ever get a discount.

How am I defending them? Just because I argue with you doesn't mean I work for Oasis. I was aware of the fast releases a long time ago and showed concern as a f2p. Seems like it took a more time for people to understand this yet I still see f2ps asking for new ninjas...

This time I'm pointing out that people don't understand that people are capable of buying something that costs something they might not value. People are being blunt and rude about the situation when they understand how bad fast releases are.

If players are more worried about the pricing and access, notice that it takes time as a f2p to get ninjas/items as it trickle down to all players. The only concern I have with madara is how available will he be in our server since in China, he is hard to get and limited to events like ino flowers. I bet you most people that I believe we're toxic did not know this and if so they did not bring this point out. With Oasis not being better in prices compared to China, I'm not that hopeful that Madara would be redeemable unless they want to prove me wrong. Oasis will most likely won't change the price and access to him unless whales don't go buy him this month. If it just so happens the number of whales they believe will get madara happens to do so in this month, then they got what they wanted.

I wouldn't see it as defending as more so acknowledging that someone is capable of doing so, in which many comments that are criticizing have yet to say and are more so questioning why someone would. Yes this type of spending is not normal for the average person. Well whales are a small faction of any gaming base so the number will be small and of that number of course there will be with those addicted - I mean someone spent 70k USD on the Fate/stay night mobile game...
