Recent Dark Pattern Reviews

Playing by Appointment reported on Oct 21, 2022
There are specific times each day for stamina bonuses, as well as special orders with more benefits than the orders that are constantly available. Those special orders only happen so many times a day.
Social Obligation / Guilds reported on Oct 21, 2022
Only within my guild. It doesn't necessarily involve much teamwork, but I do feel compelled to log in and do the daily things for the sake of my guild.
Wait To Play reported on Oct 21, 2022
Some features only open at certain times, and there's a lot like that. I can't even recall how many features are scheduled and have timers displayed for when they open.
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Oct 21, 2022
Character gacha, it's really fun but expensive if you want to pay to get anything good. The odds are not in your favor.
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Oct 21, 2022
There are trophies you can display on your player profile, you get different ranks for different things.
