Like my title says, I just loved the rush of the gamble. I kind of miss it. Every once in a while I will open an old one just for fun, however, that's becoming a pricey habbit!
Oh man. Me too. My wallet doesn't miss it though. But seriously, the thrill is gone.
I like being able to pick the items from the Collections. I was never really a DP kind of gurl. I don't like the massive inflation on a lot of items from the older DPs however. :(
Unless I have the item already and I can sell it for billions of dorrahs, then it's okay. :D

Haha, I have a lot of items like that. I used to open a few but mainly trade unopened for what I wanted. But, you know, it cured the gambling itch. I wish tiny vending machines were cheaper!
lol Jordan.
I don't know. I rather like being able to choose what I want and it keeps the prices of everything pretty even, instead of one donation item being worth 200k and then another from the same month 10 mil. I like that now it's all based on how much the actual Collection costs.
But I guess in a way I do miss the excitement of not knowing... but I will gladly sacrifice that for not being disappointed 5 times in a row getting something that I don't want or that's 'crappy'.
I miss it too! I don't even buy them anymore. I'll just wait for the to come back.

I spent too much money trying to get what I wanted to miss them
I guess the anticipation was kind of fun, but I like just looking at the collection, taking what I want, and not wasting my cash.
Now I love this double standard
Three cheers for hehe
LOL, don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the new system a lot, but I remember how exciting DP day was back when there was furious trading going on. It was always really fun.
Oh yeah, I remember.
It was such fun, especially when you get the item that inflated ALOT. xD
You could always close your eyes and click at random. :x
Personally, I GREATLY prefer the new collections to old DPs. It cuts the massive inflation of the more 'wanted' donation items (anyone remember when the Kitty Following first came out?) and allows a user to get whatever they desire.
Honestly, in today's economy, most people aren't looking to gamble when they purchase something. :(
I never really bought any DP's until the collections came out. It just wasn't worth the loss of sP if I got something I didn't want or wasn't worth much, which was like 80% for me. Probably just my bad luck.
But hey, I like the even prices of the collections. All the people trying to jack up the price on an item, yet you can just buy the DP for cheaper make me giggle too.
You have no idea how much I miss the old fashion DPs as well. I like the gamble. Now there's no longer any gamble items in CS currently. I, too, wish that MVMs are slightly cheaper.
Can we PLEASE have moar vending achievements with MVM as prizes? begs
I have to disagree, I never bought anything from the cash shoop w/ the old DP's because I didn't have money to blow to get crap I didn't want/need. Now, I can spend a few dollars and get exactly what I want. I MUCH prefer this method.
With IRL money being spent on pixels, I don't feel gambling on what pixels I get is a good idea. This method will keep me spending a little bit each month.
collecting I kinda miss the old system too, I need to feed my gambling habit. But at the same time I love the new system, you get to choose what item you want without having to spend 10mill+ on it
Maybe a new items should be brought in for us gamblers? :D Or an old one being brought back, like those animal trunks. :x
I really like the new system. Because I love not having to waste my money on something that I don't want. Like minions! I always ended up with 5 minions and 1 nice item. It was so frustrating.
However, I do wish there was a CS item for us to gamble with. I enjoy the occasional high-stakes gamble. Something more than a quest or vend. =/

I actually think this better suits the cash shop. Maybe an extra gambling CS item?
