Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Well, I think we found out what happened to the Swordsman and Bear smileys...b:chuckle

    Anyway, it's not like they're timing all charms, just the ones that come in that specific pack. I'll be honest, if you play actively enough to warrant buying that pack, you'll go through those charms in that period of time.

    It's only timed for the charms with that kit. All the other ones are still untimed, so I don't see the concern.

    If a Silver + Gold charm lasts you more than two weeks.. you're doing it wrong. Just sayin'

    Seriously, what are you flipping out about? If you play the game then a charm is NOT going to last you an entire month, not even a Platinum. I could understand if they were timing gear, like they did with the Supply Stash stuff, but they aren't. A charm is always temporary at best, and as I said before.. if it lasts you more than two weeks.. you're doing it wrong.

    Honestly if I bought one of the packs I would feel so ripped off that I would never buy anything from them again. They should probably be reduced to about 25% of the cost or removed permanetly

    I've been trying to figure that out for going on 4 years now. It seems to be related to a timer + whether someone else has posted to the thread.

    Honestly I think if I had to leave for a period of time, I'd expect the charms I paid for with cash, to be there when I got back. No telling when real life takes its hold.

    Or just don't buy the kit with the timed charms.

    And yes, I use grumpybumper because I couldn't choose between two signatures, so it randomly picks one to use each time I post, which then changes the signature on every single one of my other posts... it's mildly amusing.b:chuckle

    well isn't that dandy. . . you're making me want to get to work on my Ven siggy now....Alls I got right now is Terra and it didn't survive the resizing very well. I made a big one because I have a wide screen and my guild forums don't have a size limit. And I wanted to fit all that darn text on there xD. . .all that work painting clouds and I can't show it off here :p.

    Yeah I got off topic...what of it...your siggies made my day XD.

    Hey zan, i dont agree you can really generalize it like that.

    I mean, my husband can go through 3 platinums of each where i might only use 1 of each.
    It does really depend on how you use it.

    for instance where he just let's them tick away, i watch my health and either use a crabmeat or if on my cleric, heal myself.

    Same for the MP one's, i watch what i'm doing and know (generally) after so and so many skills i need to use a Herb, he just let's it go.

    So, no don't think you can really say you are doing something wrong if it lasts you longer than 2 weeks. sorry b:surrender

    If you're actually doing things that require charms then yes, you're doing it wrong if it lasts that long. Especially if they're only Gold or Silver. Two weeks is A LOT of time, sure if you're lazy as hell and don't do much then yeah.. they'll last. But if you do TTs or FCs daily then you're gonna end up killing your charm in a two week time frame.
