Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Playing by Appointment reported on Dec 19, 2020
The most egregious example is castle events. In order to progress through each castle level and open chests, the player must collect a type of currency exclusive to the event. To earn said currency, players must complete a set of tasks every 6 hours. In order to have the best chance of winning the prize dragons from the event, players must try to collect as much event currency as possible. This forces players to adjust their real life schedule to be able to play the game every 6 hours.
Daily Rewards reported on Dec 19, 2020
Players receive increasing rewards for logging into the game each day. However, progress is not lost if a day is missed.
