Well, a few more souls opened, no red eyes no mystic Eddie. This game had become more about frequent disappointment between bouts of grinding. When I do pull a decent toon from the book of souls now it feels more like I deserve it just for what I've had to put up with. Coupled with constant "tuning" (read: poor character design and subsequent nerfs), insulting store prices, and everything being random random random....
It's not to say there's nothing right with the game, a lot of good stuff has been added since launch, but I don't see the point in spending real money on this any more. Funny how this event works. If I'd landed Mystic Eddie I would likely have remained reasonably upbeat and likely continued dropping the odd small purchase each month, but actually as a direct result of feeling like I'm being taken for a mug, I've decided my cash is better used elsewhere. Money, to quote a wise man, exists to be a store of value - exchanging it for that which is worthless is insane.
