OP knows how to use a computer. Knows about forums. Knows that a certain amount of xp is required to achieve each level. Knows that an Epic Box gives base 2 mil xp. Knows about xp pots and other xp boosts since they used them. Op uses xp stone and gains enough xp to lvl from 21 to 25. If they used the stone and only recieved 1 mil xp that would be a rip off. This is known as buyers remorse. They wish they would not have bought it. That is not on DDO in anyway. Again, the product delivered as promised. If you do not like the product do not buy it.What if a newer person doesn't know what ddo wiki is? More importantly, is ddo wiki always accurate?
People spending money on the game is always a good thing for the game as a whole. People spending money than having buyer's remorse isn't. That situation doesn't work for anyone.

All Otto boxes are overpriced since they do not give a full life. But the epics in particular are ridiculous. My advice: avoid them. If you want to spend money, a couple of slayer pots will be cheaper and give you more experience.
You do not know what you are talking about.It takes 8,250,000 to get from Level 20 to 30, according to DDOWiki
The stone gives 4,000,000 XP, which would land you at where you landed, which is level 25 + 2 ranks
30% pot makes that 5,200,000 XP, which would have landed you 50,000 short of 27
You clearly didn't have an XP pot on when you popped the stone.
I done it on some of my epic lives with improved ottos with masters 5%. 50% sovereign xp pot,15% bonus weekend, ship 5%, and that normally boost me literally past 28, the one time the sov pot ran out and had 30% pot running its only got to 27 and that one was a bit painful run getting to 29 on cogs slayersYou do not know what you are talking about.
It is obviously sad that someone feels ripped off, even if it was their own fault. It is still bad for the game when a player is not happy with their purchase.
I dont mind Ottos boxes though. Most of those buying them know exactly what they are doing and seem happy to spend the money. I dont mind them supporting SSG with a lot of money that way.
Normally, I would oppose such p2w but DDO has so many past lives that even if you purchase 30 Ottos boxes you only made a small dent and if you are willing to spend an absurd amount of money to buy them all I am very happy to let you as that means SSG earns a lof of money and can continue developing DDO despite a small playerbase. That - and boxes do not buy you skill, knowledge, gear or reaper points so you still have to play the game alot.
It's not P2W.Boycott Ottos Boxes, the ugly side of P2W
why would ever buy anything for epic levels? they go so fast sometimes I wish I could slow myself down so I can get my slayers crap setup.
That's why you set yourself up with a bunch of slayer XP completed to the second to last or last tier. So second epic life won't be as much of a slog.To be fair, they go a lot slower when you start running out of first time bonuses.
