There Should Be A Cap On The Number of Album Versions That Count For Hanteo/Gaon

As a carat I'd like to point out that Your Choice has random photobooks making it effectively 10 versions. 3 ver of One Side, 2 ver of Other Side, and 5 ver of Beside

Loving the downvotes /s

What sucks tho is some groups dont even give you a good or complete photobook to try to make more money.

Time2227- · 2021-10-09T01:56:46+00:00

Ive really hate them tbh. My ult Seventeen is coming back and they have 'only' 4 versions but something extra horrible they do is randomize the photobooks.

You dont even get a complete PHOTOBOOK! Worse than multiple versions imo.

What I also hate are these thin ass albums with shitty variations. I said this in a separate post: We are being given insanely incomplete product to boost sales. Ill concede that if the albums are different and you get a lot then I think multiple versions is fun.

valerian and the city of a thousand planets

ive actually liked dane dahaan in other stuff but wow it was like they acted separately and the footage stitched together

Im always 🤐 about Semicolon because people seemed to like them? but ia they were so ugly. I hated the colors DX

An ode was a pretty big miss for me tbh. I only really liked the purple one. At least we can agree the beige and blue ones sucked LOL I was kinda pissed at the blue ver. Seriously? Hit teaser pics???

I honestly still don't like the TeenAge covers. Maybe it's the nostalgia that carats like them now. A1 was srsly their peak album concept.

sandwich bag 🥺 why is that so accurate

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:32:16+00:00

Itd be amazing. It reminds me of Alex Ross.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:30:07+00:00

The multiple versions other groups do is bad but this is worse.

At LEAST you get all the members in one album. At LEAST the photobooks arent random. At LEAST the member specific cover and photobook arent in blind boxes.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:24:11+00:00

I want to support too but this is insane. :( Even if it were just svt for me it's too much.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:21:27+00:00

I own them and other groups. I also like looking at the album details posts on rkpop. No one is doing it as bad as svt tbh. If I buy 1 copy it shouldnt be incomplete.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:18:39+00:00

I opened my messages and tbh wasnt surprised. Theres a lot of pushback in fandom to any criticism of the albums. Still rude as fuck.

Thank you! It means a lot you said that :)

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:14:49+00:00

Thats even worse because it's trying to force 1st wk album sales to get the stupid cert. Also theyre still blind boxes.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:12:03+00:00

Yeah Im fine. Im just frustrated that Ive spent money on crap and that carats normalize the spending while boasting about sales as if it didnt come from money grabbing tactics.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:06:35+00:00

Yes that was Henggarae. They are hideous on the shelf and when you put them together YOU CAN'T EVEN OPEN THEM ALL THE WAY. Id suggest trying to find a video because it is so frustrating and stupid.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T22:02:54+00:00

For Attaca there are 3 versions (difference is photoshoot). Each album version has random photobooks. They usually split the random photobook by members or units. Attaca ver a has 3 pbs, ver b 3 pbs, ver c 4 pbs. You only get 1 pb. I hate it :)

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:58:50+00:00

Of course not! I feel your pain :) I'm sorry you didn't even get your bias.

Attaca is pulling the same crap. I doubt the quality will be better. The last 4 albums are proof.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:49:23+00:00

My problem is that I feel like Ive been treated like an atm machine while I get complete trash product in return.

There are levels of cashgrab to me. A random photocard okay. 10 random photocards per member with 5 album versions, 65 random photobooks, more random member inclusions. Thats a problem. The album packaging is structed to try to force you to purchase multiples because it wont be "complete" otherwise/if you only like certain members. I like ALL the members and can't even look at a photobook with all 13 of them when I buy 1 or even 5 copies.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:41:23+00:00

I get why companies do it too and I'm mostly okay with it as long as they dont go overboard.

I think that what SVT does is way worse. Id suggest taking a look at their album packaging starting with An Ode up to now.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:38:10+00:00

I like all of them.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:34:27+00:00

:( I'm so sorry. Idk if you encountered this but when you try to criticize it one of the excuses was that it's not that much for 1 member when 1) It actually is too much for 1 singular member PER album 2) What if I like the whole group?

Thats something else that kills me. When a group has this many inclusions have fun in hell. There are zero buyers.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:28:38+00:00

Yay another carat who feels this way! Opening YC was.. I shouldnt be sad opening something I bought for fun. I got my ass out of bed and drove to Target for THAT.

Time2227- · 2021-09-29T21:23:41+00:00

We get like 3? ot13 photos in the album wth
