You leave = company wins (you already paid and will not use it any longer, which you bought for "lifetime")
you stay and buy it all = company wins
you stay and stop buying = you loose, you will see what's coming, but won't buy it at all. This will be hard for you, even harder for "collectors" At some point you will leave (go to point A)
you stay and stop "buying" (all) games to get (all) SEC = you win, at more levels (also morally and moneywise) and it also will help on your "addiction" to give up the 100% serious "collector" level. This is not boycott, this is a step for a healthier life. The daily stress also not helping, that you are seriously worry what if you won't get all those cards and will loose the possibility for full collection. After all you registered here to see Ladies not for gambling, right ? Plus it doesn't mean, that you can't get some of them, case by case, the ones you really want. I doubt, that you really like/want all of them that much. You just formed a habit for yourself to buy them all.
= you can win only if you don't buy everything.
The rest soon will need terapy or anomim IS / gambling ***** meetings...
you are pushing your own buttons how far you can go until you might not even be able to realize, that there is no way back... For me these comments are more likely screams of people saying please don't make me an *****, pls. stop this. I got news for you people - only you can stop it. Even if you are well with money and can afford it all... maybe (just maybe) you can/will be a happier customer if you have only the 95-98% of these cards ?

@goodwolf

It's not about winning or losing.

It's about saying, if I feel respected as a customer by the company, feeling that there's a concern for customer satisfaction, I'll stay and continue to put my money there.

If not, I'll put my money elsewhere.

That's the power of any consumer towards a company.

There is something about the direction that Totem has taken with their games and the way they are using the SEC to make easy money that revolts me. Also the fact that they don't take into account the people in my category who don't want to play or no longer want to play to get the SEC. Gambling is a source of stress for me, which makes me feel no pleasure and more frustration than anything else. If I want to be honest with my beliefs and how I feel, I can't tolerate that, and I'd rather not buy anymore. It's as simple as that. That's why I'm finishing spending my credits and it's going to be over. I will have over 5000 cards.

There are also plenty of other sites where you can see very pretty young women, many of which are on iStripper.


@goodwolf

Ce n'est pas une question de gagner ou de perdre.

C'est de dire, si je me sens respecté en tant que clients par la compagnie, en sentant qu'il y a une préoccupation de la satisfaction client, je reste et je continue à y investir mon argent.

Si ce n'est pas le cas, je vais mettre mon argent ailleurs.

C'est le pouvoir de tout consommateur envers une compagnie.

Il y a quelque chose en moi qui me révulse dans la direction qu'a pris Totem avec leurs jeux et la façon de se servir des SEC pour faire de l'argent facile. Aussi du fait qu'ils ne tiennent pas compte des gens dans ma catégorie, qui ne veulent pas ou plus jouer pour obtenir les SEC. Les jeux de hasard sont une source de stress pour moi, qui fait que je n'éprouve aucun plaisir et qui me procure plus de frustration qu'autre chose. Si je veux être honnête avec mes convictions et avec ce que je ressens, je ne peux tolérer cela, et je préfère ne plus acheter. C'est aussi simple que cela. C'est pourquoi je termine la dépenses de mes crédits et ça va être terminé. Je vais avoir au-dessus de 5000 cartes.

Il y a en plus plein d'autres sites où l'on peut voir de très jolies jeunes femmes, dont plusieurs sont sur iStripper.

Then maybe you should just go to these Sites, and the rest of us can have our Peace
which @kaiju was Dreaming about since September the 30th 2020.

关于iStripper的一切 / Small reminder concerning the SEC obtained only with games of chance.

ok guys, once again the Special event cards unleash passion! I have already discussed the subject several times but you have raised a new point regarding the frequency of the SEC releases. So here are...

We have always listened to our community

Yes that is true @kaiju and there is no point of Disagreement at least not from my side.

but we won't be accepting any kind of *****.

There is nothing more to add here.

In that case @ComteDracula have a nice Time so far on your new Journey,
wherever it will take you and my best wishes to you ✌

Rex and Celine are both key members of Totem and their roles extend well beyond customer service.

The fact they look after new members only confirms my point. That’s their business model. Get them in, take their money. Rinse and repeat.

There’s nothing wrong with that of course. It’s business after all.

I guess it’s just usually customary to appreciate other people when they give you their money.

If you knew what you were talking about you would know every service software caters to three groups. New customers, selectors, and collectors. It doesn't matter if we are talking about an MMO, single player game with a cash store, or a porn software that requires daily investment. Totem's goal is to get as many people as possible into the selector category. The gambling games allow new users to get discounts on card that they may want, which eventually gets them into the "investment fallacy", meaning once they hit 500, 1000, or 1500 cards they can't imagine wasting all that by leaving. The selectors are constantly making value decisions but will likely never leave the product and will buy regularly, including in the gambling games because they may be enticed to get a big win. The collectors are a small group that would normally be happy buying every card at an extreme discount...totem wants this group to become selectors again so the gambling games have merit...they therefore introduce the special event cards. This is really smart business and is the reason the company is still solvent despite a pretty hard collapse in available erotica talent over the last 10 years. Keep in mind that most services have exploded in cost since 2010...video games and porn have stayed constant at a base price but must get creative to combat rising production costs.

I feel for Sharon White in all this. Seems she has done a well rated show here, but only 23 votes/8 comments. The other 3 cards many more, Tatiana Coco 126 votes/45 comments, the two XXX Veroncia Leal 87/29 and Medusa 84/27 so all that work for so few views, but I guess in time she will catch up.

May be this thread should have been called simply "SEC - How much will it cost you?" since that was the original question and nothing at all to do with the model.

I will now find it very easy to ignore the Seriously Expensive Cards, since they are no more special than any other. I have gained a few over the last few months, the last was Angelika Grays, and that really did confirm it.

So I am justing enjoying buying many old (many would consider too old) cards from many years back and taking a few CC+ for the 5th card. Might by end of the promo have all the cards I need and not touched a game. Then I would consider my collection complete even with nearly 1000 not purchased. Only then need to pick the new ones that I like.

关于iStripper的一切 / Small reminder concerning the SEC obtained only with games of chance.

@kaiju, How have you intervened several times on the subject of SEC? Especially on the irritants that these cause, since their initial change of vocation? The last time I remember one of your interven...

@Stanston

Could you please explain, as "second spokesperson for Totem", why if Totem is so responsive to their customers, that we never got a response on the forum to my post above from @kaiju?

It would have been helpful for all of us who share my opinion. Do you honestly believe that I am the only one, ***** about SEC and the games on the forum, and that I would be the last?

Do you think that if the problem had been solved, I would still be talking about it?

Besides, for me this subject is now closed, given my decision to stop investing in Totem and all the reasons mentioned above.

This being said, you don't need to answer me, because you don't know it and to tell the truth I don't want to, because your completely useless interventions and your lack of understanding only put oil on the fire, on threads of discussions, whose subject seems to be of absolutely no interest to you.

I don't intend to answer your future interventions anymore, not more than I did at the moment, because it is becoming an overbidding that leads to nothing. But you ***** me to do so, since your message is incomplete.

It is easy to take just the portion of the messages, which is our business.

By the way I don't care about your "sarcastic" farewell.

Save your "good riddance" for yourself, dear "Sir".

Final point.

关于iStripper的一切 / Small reminder concerning the SEC obtained only with games of chance.

En français @kaiju, En quoi êtes-vous intervenu plusieurs fois sur le sujet des SEC ? Surtout sur les irritants que ceux-ci provoquent, depuis leur changement de vocation de départ ? La dernière fois...

@Stanston

Pourriez-vous nous expliquer, en tant que "second porte-parole de Totem", pourquoi si Totem est tant à l'écoute de leurs clients, que nous n'avons jamais eu de réponse sur le forum à mon message plus haut de la part de @kaiju ?

Cela aurait été aidant pour tous ceux et celles qui partagent mon opinion. Croyez-vous sincèrement que je suis le seul, à me plaindre des SEC et les jeux sur le forum, et que je serais le dernier ?

Croyez-vous que si le problème avait été réglé, j'en parlerai encore ?

D'ailleurs pour moi ce sujet est maintenant clos, vu ma décision de cesser d'investir dans Totem et toutes les raisons citées précédemment.

Ceci étant dit, vous n'avez pas besoin de me répondre, car vous ne le savez pas et à vrai dire je n'y tiens pas, car vos interventions complètements inutiles et votre incompréhension ne font que mettre de l'huile sur le feu, sur des fils de discussions, dont le sujet semble-t-il, ne vous intéresse absolument pas.

Je n'ai d'ailleurs plus l'intention de répondre à vos futures interventions, pas plus que je n'y tenais actuellement, car cela devient de la surenchère qui ne mène à rien. Mais vous m'y obligez, étant donné que votre message est incomplet.

C'est facile de prendre juste la portion des messages, qui fait notre affaire.

En passant Je n'ai que faire de vos adieux "sarcastiques".

Gardez votre "bon débarras" pour vous-même, cher "Monsieur".

Point final.
