Complete the Collection reported on Oct 6, 2022
This game is primarily based around collecting pets. There's multiple places (an album, a board) that show how many pets you have and how many more you need to complete the collection. There are always new pets, toys and accessories incoming that make the completion impossible.
Encourages Anti-Social Behavior reported on Oct 6, 2022
There are types of trades ("trust trade") and social games ("pick a door") that some players use to scam, cheat and steal from younger children and new players. A player is scammed into giving away a pet for free with a promise of a greater reward. Which is when the scammer leaves the game forever.
