People who buy t$- why? (SERIOUS)

1stAug 11, 2014 by BengalBoy
imageI'm not tryna hate or be judgmental I'm genuinely curious, making t$ for free is easy and $60 on a shoddy fake dress or shirt doesn't seem worth it to me when you could get a real and better one for LESS. Genuinely interested, what's the appeal?

And yeah I understand it's your choice, I'm just interested the same way I'd be interested if someone made the choice to spend $60 on a wax ornament of a toe or getting their balls chopped off, I have spare money too but I've never had the urge to spend it on weaves.

They never need the house, so no need for real clothes. They only need virtual.

and I just read this, I dont think it's a big deal for people who make their own money

But teenagers/kids who beg their parents for it is silly IMO, because they could save that money and get something they really want. People are always bitching about xbox or PS3 games, a new computer, or netflix when they could save up all that money they'd spend on T from their parents and buy something that's WORTH the money they put into it

cause like when this site goes down for good, all the money put into it is going to be wasted.

shayybayy yeah but even with people who make their own money why would they spend it on something so worthless as opposed to something that's actually worth it, or just save it? especially considering a lot are over emotional gayboys who get themselves banned after wasting their salary on tengaged

being tengageds top fashionista is much more important than being fiscally responsible.

Ok here I am again Bengalboy  LOL.  But seriously speaking its like being the kid in HS who does not have the up to date, name brand clothes.  Maybe they see it as being special and standing out.  Its all about social status. And to some people here thats important to them.  As maybe they are having a rough spot in their real life?  OR buy T's to gift someone else to gain social status.  See Tengaged is a community.  Like everything else, people want to fit in.  And tengaged makes the profit.  This is how the world goes round.  Look at all the other games online where you can buy certain promotions, and outfits.  Tengaged is not the only one of its kind.

bettyrubbble thanks babygirl that's the kind of answer i was looking for
i always figured some people see it as a status symbol, it still baffles me that people spend so much on it and people who are fully grown adults get so into it tho
Sent by BengalBoy,Aug 11, 2014
@bettyrubble idk i mean its an online wbesite, and I know its a community, and I know how important it is to be accepted, I mean I was the kid in HS who never had the name brand clothes, but now that I have a job I would never spend my own money on ts, never. And I feel like anyone who does JUST to fit in kinda need to disconnect for a while because tengaged, or any other online website, is NOT that important

Sent by lacubanita24,Aug 11, 2014
But anyway @lucubanita24 I am not here to judge people.  Its an option to buy t's.  Its a shame for virtual social status.  If you play any other such based games, there is always an option to spend real money. Everyone has their own way of thinking and doing.  And I am not here to judge that.  If shop owners wanna spend IRL money then they do.  Others wanna buy t's to buy from shops, then they do. And if I don't I don't.  This discussion should not be about what people choose to do with their  money.  Just about who they are, and how they play the game.  I would hope that as I have, many people here have found good friends, and thats why we return.  Other than that.  I have no comment.

Agreed! I never spent a single penny on this site (You can ask the mods for all you people who don't believe me~) if youre a tv star all you do is bet on charities for a week and you make like 500ts ROFL its too easy man

I did buy a league skin earlier this week though, but only cause on league you have to pay for the skins you can't get them any other way and I have a job so I don't mind spending like 5 dollars on an online game when I make that in like 30 mins of working

See this is the thing, you can just wait a couple weeks and literally bet your way to get designs, that kinda adds to everything that Dru said in this blog LOL I 100% agree with Dru and honestly I would never buy Ts because I could just get them through betting anyways.
Sent by Phenomanimal,Aug 12, 2014
i totally agree with this
100% honest i thought about buying like 5$ worth of T$ once because i had plenty of money at the time and was thinking id get a pretty good amount.. instead i saw that 5 dollars gets you 75T$ and the thought completely left my mind and i havent considered it since LOL.. i can understand people who spend money on games, like ShadowBaller000 said he bought a league skin and thats whatever because its cheap and he couldnt get it any other way. but 75T$ is seriously so little that i dont understand how it is worth it to anybody..
Sent by tyleror,Aug 12, 2014
bengalboy Even if it's five cents I don't feel right spending money on virtual things. At the end of the day it's not real, so it's a waste of time and money. Especially if it's to dress your avatar. I remember I axed people on roblox how they got nice looking avis and they're like "just spend five dollars and buy robux" and I was like HAAAAAAAAAIL NAH. I'll gladly enjoy my noob outfit cause it ain't worth spendin a dime on a virtual avatar to look cute.

i don't think there's anything wrong with people spending real money on this website for t$. the thing about it that bugs me though is it doesn't seem worth it at all, not even close. I mean, ten dollars for 150 t$? congrats, that's not even half of a design.

It literally makes no sense to me, like "Let's spend money on fake shit." Then they bitch and complain about not having the newest shirt, dress, shoes, etc. so it's like some of the people on here are so fucking dumb.

I've spent $10 on ts, but it had nothing to do with designs. I was obsessed with frookies and had no ts to play and I was bored LOL. At the time, I wouldn't bet because if I bet then I'd have no ts to play frookies until I waited 5 days for my bets to come back.

i only read a bit of the comments but i think its worse when money earning adults spend the money on here and not the younger ones who dont earn it themselves and dont understand its not easily made

i used to be once in a while but that was before i left high school and i wouldnt spend a dime here now

Ive only ever bought t$ once in 5 years on this site.. It was way back when shops didn't exist and auctions were the cool place to get ur designs.. nixx made me a special blue hair and sharkskin and myself had a bidding war on it and it turned more into a competitive thing rather than me actually wanting the design, I just wanted to beat sharky!

I wouldnt dream of it now, not only is it a rip off but I dnt give a shit bout designs anymore.. everyones avis look exactly the same as eachother anyway lol whats the point!?
