iTunes is a pain to use, tons of needless "features" on the product itself, pandering to hipsters

After owning an ipod shuffle and having an ipod touch, I can safely say that I hate Apple with all my soul.
OT: I only use Specs because they're 5% allstat, 4% str, and every other cheap Eye Accessory isn't tradeable.

They suck at gaming and make you look like a hipster wearing lens-less glasses that needs to be drinking a vanilla-mocha latte' half & half w/ sprinkles at starbucks?

@ProBlades: Like three people on the second page mentioned getting specs from gachaperriot. One actually posted a screenshot. Problem is, it's become more rare to see it than when it was NLC only. In addition to the guy at the bottom of page 2, I've seen other people talk about using 200+ gachapon tickets before they get specs.

@ox0Shad0w0xo: You may be right, but I certainly haven't seen a single pair of specs come out of the Gachaperriot.

They didn't disappear. "All of the rewards from the Chair, Mount, Nebulite and regular Gachapon have been merged into one single machine. Different towns no longer give separate rewards. ALL Gachapierrot machines pull from the same rewards pool." So statistically speaking, the chance to get specs went down the drain because you can get random chairs, mounts, or nebs, in addition to all of the rewards from every town for gach. No more narrowing it down to a specific type of reward from gach like when they were separate. People still get Specs out of gachaperriot though, don't confuse the lower chance with an outright removal of them.

I got one from gachaperriot last patch, they do still pop up once in awhile, however I also used 335 tickets and only got 1 pair.

Specs are expensive because they are hard to get(don't drop from monsters/quests) and are trade-able.[/quote]

I agree, I have an old macbook.

I hate it..

But it's like 6 years old and still runs like a champ.

Sad thing never gets used anymore though, I stick to my desktop..

I like Kenta goggs better.

Tier 3 potential and they're fun to scroll around and experiment with.

Got specs from gach about 3 weeks ago. Though I like rac mask more since they have more slots. TBH both look ugly to me.

@Seodan @Collo123 I would just like to point out that Specs are gachapon only. They have never been a drop from cwkpq despite the fact that Rellik wears them. It's probably a lot harder to get specs now than it used to be since everything got combined.

@jeshurocks: Yeah it's simply because of how they look. Raccoon Masks have over double the amount of slots and are the same potential tier as specs, but they are like half the price because people think they're ugly. And since they used to cost quite a bit (they're pretty cheap now compared to the old 1-1.5b clean), they've also become associated with "rich pros."
