Reciprocity reported on Jun 10, 2022
You can trade on a big market that uses premium currency and gets 15% the profits from the player.
Invested / Endowed Value reported on Jun 10, 2022
Game can be a lot more stressful because of rankings, it keeps you pushing forward and getting invested on your character.
Artificial Scarcity reported on Jun 10, 2022
The game shows you an offer after every dungeon you completes, that scales in value, and have an "800% value" bundle to new players that is extremely misleading.
Can't Pause or Save reported on Jun 10, 2022
It's a MMORPG, you can't go AFK on the overworld whitout risk dying.
Wait To Play reported on Jun 10, 2022
Some timed events can be rrepeated, but you need to wait a timer to do it, like raiding the vault as a shadow member, you need to wait 10 minutes to try again after the first one, and the event has a 2 hour window 2 times a day.
Pay to Skip reported on Jun 10, 2022
You can use ingame currency tu buy Legendary Crests and do elder rifts to get more XP fast. Thus hitting endgame faster. There are some arbitrary XP caps on the main history, that can't be bypassed. You can use up to 10 Legendary crests a time, but only 3 Rare (free) crests.
Recurring Fee reported on Jun 10, 2022
The concept of Boon of Plenty is a paid login bonus that forces you to log in every single day for 30 days. The battle pass does the same thing, and it has a duration of 35 days.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Jun 10, 2022
Legendary crests (paid) can be used on Elder Rifts to get a random gem at the end, gems can vary from 1/1 to 5/5 ranks (there are 6 ranks in total, 1/1, 2/2, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5, the last one being a extremely low chance drop). If you're unlucky, you can spend thousands on it and never see a 5/5 gem.
Fear of Missing Out reported on Jun 10, 2022
Monthly paid passes with exclusive cosmetics are a thing from day zero here. That said, some activities are daily based, but can be "stored" to the next day (emphasis on SOME, you will miss things if you don't play)
Anchoring Tricks reported on Jun 10, 2022
After every single dungeon, you get a "% value" bundle at the shop, that goes progressively expensive the more you play, tricking you into buying the cheaper ones.
