Daily Rewards reported on May 2, 2021
It isn't "truly necessary", but yes.
Grinding reported on May 2, 2021
The only form to gain currency in the game without paying is farming wax daily, which can get quite repetitive. It isn't as bad as other games, but it's there.
Infinite Treadmill reported on May 2, 2021
But only if you want to truly finish it 100%, which isn't actually necessary for enjoying the game itself.
Fear of Missing Out reported on May 2, 2021
Overall the social aspect of the game induces friendliness and collaboration. But there's always FOMO, particularly about seasonal content.
