Dear A Wikia contributor,

The existence of players who "want to succeed with no skill, and no time" seems more imaginary than anything for which evidence exists. Can you cite any evidence for such a player existing? Do you have any names?

ACI does not run on PS2, AFAIK.

While there are examples of secrecy for equipment stats, it is rare when customization reaches a certain level of complexity, since the player is asked to make tradeoffs. This is well documented in games such as Starcraft and even entire genres, such as RPG's.

The most troubling secrecy surrounds money. I believe people who are paying should have the option to know what odds of a special drop they purchase with 60 units of fuel. What's their expected return on 2x - 6x forced sorties?

Knowing this will prevent some users from feeling cheated when their expectations of the results of paying real money are missed by sometimes *very* large margins.

It is true that a data bin like "C+" can stand in numerical values in many cases, however it appears to be misused in this case (observational errors do not apply). ACI also has qualtitative data problems regarding what some metrics actually signify. Google: "data binning" and "qualitative data" for more info on how these work.
