Pay to Skip reported on May 31, 2024
while its not direct, you can buy speedups to finish things faster or buy premium currency to buy said speedups, this isn't THAT much of an issue since speedups aren't that sought after by players since its not that good of a value compared to other things. This being said, the game does give you MANY speedups that you shouldn't have much of an issue speeding up if you really want to unless you wanna speedup multiple things in a row.
Optimism and Frequency Biases reported on May 31, 2024
well... it emphasizes both... someone can choose to post their pull (drawing 10 rewards with lotto tickets) in chat where ppl can see what they got, if they get a good enough pull it will give the first 30 ppl who click the button in chat that says [Gacha Gawd Pack] and similarly if you get a really bad pull it will make a button for [Never Lucky Pack]. these chat packs also include good/bad offering rewards and also whenever someone makes a large enough purchase which is [Whale Gift Pack]
Competition reported on May 31, 2024
HUUUUUUUUGE competition, thats this game in a nutshell. Leaderboards, ranking and everything! and the higher you place on the leaderboard teh more rewards you get! Clubs also compete with each other to place higher for better rewards! the competition is HUUUUGE!
Fear of Missing Out reported on May 31, 2024
if you take a break you fall behind a TON and it makes it hard to stay in strong clubs... again, FIND A GOOD CLUB, the best clubs in the game will have systems to help their members account for things like IRL emergencies but you tend to need to be stronger to access these clubs
Aesthetic Manipulations reported on May 31, 2024
this one is kinda iffy... it is very self aware as a game, even in its p2w nature. if you choose to watch an advert, a msg pops up saying "Warning! The finance team has threatened to sack devs if they don't play ads! Thank you for helping us keep our jobs!"... idk if this counts buuut at least this is good to know lol
Anchoring Tricks reported on May 31, 2024
YUP, bundles galore! i dont think i need to explain much more about this tho...
Waste Aversion reported on May 31, 2024
ok this one is a bit of a stretch but hear me out, there are a certain amount of relics that exist in game, new ones are added every so often in LARGE amounts and there are MAAANY relics of MAAANY stars so its not like you will probably ever hit that cap but there are certain P2W only relics so theoretically if there was a maxed out P2W player they would always out compete any F2P player altho this is basically impossible with new content added almost weekly
Illusion of Control reported on May 31, 2024
You are placed in a server which is 1 of 8 that compete in a dimension which is what wars are based around. this system makes people feel better starting off new because they are competing with people who started around the same time as them so are at the same-ish strength. leaderboards are also based on either dimension or server depending on the leaderboard so it also makes you feel stronger then u are. Example: 4 my dimension, the 100th strongest player in 1 server vs another is 5mil vs 30mil
Complete the Collection reported on May 31, 2024
YES! this is important not only to get the 100% but for progression and certain important items that increase your medal production in game (another currency) which is important long term
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on May 31, 2024
while this actually is the case, no one ever really cares looks at or uses it. they have it but not really something to worry about
