I play them sometimes because they’re free (to start). I then suck all enjoyment out of them, and the second I’m tempted to spend money I throw it in the trash and find a new one. There’s so many!
Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

Any gacha game.
I’ve tried to play them, but many play themselves and are loaded with microtransactions and you’ll hit a wall. I much prefer unlocking things from progressing or doing skillful things within the game.

I guess I’m just oldschool haha. I prefer MMO gameplay, which is very similar, but you can get gear and titles and mounts for clearing difficult content with friends (or have an opportunity to make new ones.)
Runescape deciding to allow you to toggle cosmetics on or off for everyone is an amazing design decision that should be used more often. Because then, the gear tells a story. I miss that in older mmos. You’d see a glowy weapon or cool cape and be inspired to go ger it and/or see the amount of dedication it took for someone to unlock something.
Aint no billionaires there, they’re allergic to working hard after all haha

Saaaame. I have friends say, “but the story is amazing” but the game play is just boring most the time. Spam same 4 abilities, watch pretty colors fly and either steam roll over the enemies or get stuck because you don’t have the right gear because you get unlucky with the gatcha rolls
