People throw an extra $50 at them for another account so they can get a dumb electronic item. Why would they stop people from doing this?

Valid point is valid, I take back that statement.

That still, morally, doesn't approve the actions made by these persons.

actually you can get a copy for much less than that (over the holidays about $14 us)...though those accounts could also be used for other stuff like the extra zaishen coins and storage...just a perk that beetle racing could also be done with them

but yeah....though I am hoping with all the extra beetles rolling around the price will drop (yes I can hope).

If the mini was gone, I would still play.

I probably wouldn't stress getting top times as much, but I would still play to get them, because the faster you are, the more distance you put between you and anyone else behind you, thus making you safer and getting you more points. Ending races faster also puts me in the next race sooner, allowing me to win even more points.



The end goal of the arena is to cross the finish line before anyone else. It is a race. A greater reward is given for pushing yourself to go faster than for picking up extra boxes and conserving Rams so that you can immediately KD anyone you see, because that's the point.

You can enjoy your knocking down of other racers, but if you come up against me, I'll have my fun of finishing first and making you one of the hundreds of racers I force out of the arena with no reward every event, because you don't understand the real point of the arena.
Shayne, get off of your high horse telling me what I do and do not understand and what the point of the game is. It is my opinion sorry if you do not like it. Telling me what you would supposedly do to me in RBR is a joke. You should take a lesson from Martin and disagree without personally attacking me. This coming from a moderator makes it even worse. Ban me if you want too but I will not take this from anyone.

Actually , i do believe he makes sense. You can't force people to let you run far away , or not to use rams randomly , although it's annoying. You can blame people for echo blasting you far away for no reason of course , but not really for using spit rocks from 3 meters....
That was kinda same in Hero Battles when people, thinking they were smart, were telling me " you're red , you resign it's the rule "

Once again , we're al complaining about this simply because of the reward...

I love this everyone that can't get a good time whitin the two days of the events starts crying in here:P
If you don't win the mini don't blame others. everyone can play the game just how they want to play it. you can't force them to not use the skills or to lose. Just play and don't QQ on how badly you didn't get the mini zippy.

He is stating the obvious, it is the last part I have a major issue with.

Hello -------,

Thank you for the additional information. The issue has been forward to the Quality Assurance Team for further testing. I will update the issue with the new information you have provided.

We appreciate your honestly in the matter and you are welcome to keep the pet. We will not be removing the pet from your inventory.

Again, thank you!

Yes, honesty was spelled wrong i just quoted it completely

So it looks like they are just going to try and fix the issue in the future but the people who got them are lucky.
