R.A.B.B. Entry #087 โ Gacha Gear Lock Scam
๐๏ธ R.A.B.B. Entry #087 โ Gacha Gear Lock Scam
Category: ๐ฐ Gacha Mechanics & UI Deception
Target: Ragnarok X (ROX)
Incident: Equipment Locked Until Upgraded
๐ Offense Summary:
- You pull gear from the Gacha Equipment draw system
- That gear? Auto-bound to your character
- BUTโhereโs the kickerโ If you upgrade it (e.g. refine or enhance), it suddenly becomes unbound and tradable or sellable
โ ๏ธ The Problems:
| Problem | Why Itโs Bullshit |
|---|---|
| ๐ Auto-bound on pull | You canโt sell it even if you donโt want it |
| ๐ฐ Upgrade required to unlock | Forces use of mats, Zeny, or crystals just to remove shackles |
| ๐ณ๏ธ No clear warning or tool-tip | Most players wonโt know they can unbind it unless they test it |
| ๐งผ Feels intentional | Likely a ploy to delay the player economy from being flooded with unwanted gacha drops |

๐ Commentary:
โSo let me get this straightโ You gave me the item, told me it was mine, but I have to upgrade it just to be allowed to sell it?โ
ROX, this isnโt equipment.
Itโs hostage negotiation in UI form.
