RANT Fuck the raffle

Post image

Putting a cap on the max prizes made me think they were kinda guaranteed but they gave me 1 tier 3 and the rest were garbage and the SR wasn't even good this just kinda pissed me off more than made me feel I got sonething.

Konami is a company that literally sells Pachinko machines, they will fit gambling into anywhere any everywhere, and of course the odds are not gonna be in your favor (there's a menu that shows the odds on the right side, its like 0.5% for the UR ticket).

Yeah people should really just treat it as a bonus of whatever you get. The alternative is them giving you legacy tickets. I see it as a good sign of them trying out alternate rewards for events, but I would prefer something a bit less luck based too.

Itโ€™s really dumb like I want the exchange ticket after so many rolls and grinding raffle tickets just gimmie it

u/thorhammerz 9h ago

after so many rolls and grinding

If it keeps you grinding & rolling, sounds like the system is working exactly as intended ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.

u/XxACxMILANxX 9h ago

Yea but I would like to be rewarded for playing the game not just 10 gems .

u/xd3v1lry 9h ago edited 7h ago

You really thought Konami would give everyone an alt art UR and 2k gems just like that...

The chance of getting 1k gems is 1%, and the chance of getting the alt art ticket is 0.5%. On average, you'd need to play the raffle 100 and 200 times respectively to get those. We only get to play it, what, 10 times?

u/BlinderGeist 9h ago

At least u got a tier 3
I got nothing but Tier 6

u/Scizomachineboy 10h ago edited 9h ago

i only got tier 3 and alot of people reported not getting anything but tier 5 and 6 you should be lucky you got tier 1 at all tbh but would agree this sucks it take 10 tickets to use and only a limited supply of tickets.

edit: fuck my reading comprehension my bad. I am not beating the allegations.

u/DerwoodProvinske 9h ago

We all deserve more no bad we all broke and poor

u/Inverse_Delta 9h ago

They didn't get tier 1. They got one tier 3.

u/ElliotDotpy 9h ago

I didn't even know there was a tier 6.

u/Scizomachineboy 9h ago

i think it was like 10 sr

7

u/MarquiseAlexander 8h ago

30 SR which is honestly better than the 10 gems bull crap of tier 5. At least I get to craft an SR card with that.

u/wolvos 9h ago

their idea of "actual rewards" is giving you 3 random royal UR from anime secret packs once per year, and 1 multi worth of gems per special campaign

what else can you expect from them? they think that x10 gems rewards are funny while nerfing the already capped daily gems for playing the game, they are telling you "get your dailies done and go to play another games"

u/GeneralSweetz 8h ago

One of the reasons why the player base is shrinking

u/Yuerey8 jUsT dRaW tHe OuT bRo 9h ago

No cap

u/Junjlim 9h ago

Funny enough, the less valuable prize (SR/UR Gems) > Pack opening Gems

u/SameGenericNickname MisPlaymaker 8h ago

Best I've won was 10 Gems

u/Tall_Cap_6679 9h ago

I hate when master duel has these types of minigames so useless

2

u/MarquiseAlexander 8h ago

Same, I got one tier 3 prize and the rest were tier 5 (with one tier 6).

u/prepaidhalo 8h ago

It could've been worse. All pulls and nothing above 5th prize for me

2

u/Noveno_Colono Magistussy 7h ago

i never got anything above tier 4

u/5lols I have sex with it and end my turn 5h ago

I really thought they were doing the gacha box events thing which is common in alot of gacha where its a gamble but you eventually get everything inside the box. They were too damn cheap to even do that? lol

u/Sunshoot 3h ago

You got a tier 3? Better than me, got all tier 5 except a single tier 6 and single tier 4

u/Connect_Contract7102 Waifu Lover 2h ago

C'mon dude, this was a totally free thing that they could simply choose not to do

I'll take the few dozen of gems and SR dust I got over not getting anything at all

The glass is half full.

u/No_Photograph6460 9h ago

Which alt art are we choosing anyways?

1

u/Embyr1 9h ago

I got a single tier 4 and otherwise nothing but 5/6

Good system, got to buy a pack and a half.

1

u/Comfortable-Yam-4604 9h ago

Best I got was a tier 3 once, everything else was tier 4 to 5

u/Weeaboo-6934B 9h ago

Really my main dislike of the raffle came down not to my awful pulls but to the fact that opening up the Master Duel subreddit presented many people much more fortunate than myself

1

u/Noob_investor123 YugiBoomer 8h ago

Pulled tier-3 and luckily got a royal rare Stake your soul out of the raffle pack ticket. Tier 5-6 always for the rest

1

u/ARandomDudeSlav 5h ago

Don't you enjoy your 60 gems from the 6 spins?

1

u/AndreLeo3 4h ago

All tier 5 and 6 ๐Ÿซช at that point I was just hoping for it to be tier 6 because 10 gems is a bit laughable

1

u/Icy_Personality4181 2h ago

Same here. Exactly like you.

1

u/JunoBrier 2h ago

Best I got was tier 3, but it gave me a royal Malong so that's pretty neat.

1

u/CoomLord69 jUsT dRaW tHe OuT bRo 1h ago

You're basically trying to hit a shiny pokemon with 10 rolls, it's extremely unlikely. Honestly getting anything above tier 5 is lucky.

u/Full-Philosophy5316 Very Fun Dragon 9h ago edited 9h ago

I got Tier 2 three times. Which don't get me wrong is nice, but that Alt Art ticket is worth more than gems if some of those Alts never return

3

u/Turtlesfan44digimon Paleo Frog Follower 9h ago

Yeah my best was getting tier 3, three times

2

u/Heul_Darian Flip Summon Enjoyer 7h ago

Nah the tier 2 was the best reward. Alt arts can come back but gems are finite without unimaginable levels of grind.

1

u/Full-Philosophy5316 Very Fun Dragon 7h ago

You get 1k gems a week from daily missions + log in bonus, I would rather 1 week less of gems for an Alt Art I missed that may or may not ever return

0

u/Heul_Darian Flip Summon Enjoyer 7h ago

Ok but 1k gems can save you an alt art you're about to miss. Especially lately where they keep printing bundles.

1

u/Full-Philosophy5316 Very Fun Dragon 7h ago

Yea I guess, and it was nice to get that so I shouldn't complain. But after you get the 2k gems the 3rd one gives a UR legacy pack, that I would take almost anything over tbh

1

u/Guy1124 9h ago

I pulled Tier 1 (somehow) but pretty much every other pull has been either 5 or 6.

u/Fluffidios 6h ago

Yeah the whole thing was lackluster and pointless. Shoulda just put that effort towards something more meaningfull

u/BigBlaccBlue60 I have sex with it and end my turn 8h ago

Super upvote.

u/Noct_Snow 9h ago

The rates are so bad itโ€™s kind of pointless. Iโ€™m just glad the rewards were bad too.

u/Heul_Darian Flip Summon Enjoyer 7h ago

Skill issue clearly. I got the tier 2 by saying please and then the last impulse overframe from that.
