No it's not at all in my opinion.
It's clearly a bait post and is a ridiculous notion. He wasn't offended and engaged with me & it's all good forum fun.
I haven't, nor will spend any money at eververse because I don't need to. I have lots of bright dust saved & will buy all the armour if it doesn't drop through engrams. But if certain people can not live without said items in a game then they have bigger life issues and should get the appropriate help. Gambling is everywhere and unavoidable especially in the UK with a bookmakers in every estate, high street and all the betting apps.
Personally I don't like the randomness of eververse and would prefer a more fixed store to get what we want. I don't think it's predatory at all though.

The whole allure of gambling is predatory by nature. Your handing over money for nothing more than hope. The rational mind can analyse the chances of winning and work out in all reality your not going to get what you want and therefore just walk away. But gambling isn't designed to pray on the rational mind it's the vulnerable that it goes after. The people who hope more than they think. And there are plenty of people like that otherwise gambling would not be such a big business. The trouble with the rational mind is that in most cases it cannot empathise with the irrational mind and therefore can't see the problem for what it is.
