Fear of Missing Out reported on Dec 25, 2022
Happens on the "Sets", it's limited timed and lets you have one free spin daily but lets you do more buy paying using gems, this leads to the user buying more gems.
Premium Currency reported on Dec 25, 2022
Coins and Gems.
Pay to Win reported on Dec 25, 2022
They give you a deal of buying a overpowered weapon along with some currency.
Social Obligation / Guilds reported on Dec 25, 2022
The most clans in this game requires you to battle with the clan, otherwise you would be kicked.
Accidental Purchases reported on Dec 25, 2022
This happened to me, I accidentally pressed a lootbox and spent my tickets I were collecting up for the Battle Pass upgrade.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Dec 22, 2022
The game is filled with loot boxes. Not just that, but the loot boxes have besides valuable items also items with much lesser value, or even no value, such as useless skins (which proven to have a suspicious high chance of being obtained). All that makes your grinding worthless, and encourages you to grind again.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Dec 22, 2022
Near all of the things you can get are time limited, although they still may or may not appear again.
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Dec 22, 2022
Little animations featuring the new weapons, in the game. Visual effects such as shining + characters with expressive emotions for offers in the store.
Anchoring Tricks reported on Dec 22, 2022
The common set of "money for currency" from 1$ to 100$, every new offer in the store comes with several more of the same, but each more valuable and expensive. + Fake discounts, every offer appears with a "discount" and "old price", with the "old price" sometimes ranking up to a ridiculous 1000$.
