Yeah I’ve known about this, whales are something like 50%+ of mobile game’s income
These games are designed by psychologists to suck people in, get them hooked, then make them hit a paywall to manipulate them to try to buy their way out, specifically through addictive gambling purchases. You can’t buy the OP items, you can buy the CHANCE to get the OP item. Makes you spend more and get that dopamine rush from winning via gambling which they want you to become addicted to
I’ve watched the vids and know what tricks they will try here. You will gain steady power spikes until level 30ish, in which case your progression will continue to slow. At that point the best use of your time is logging in to do a daily quest, possibly checking to see if there is an event (occurs every 2 hours with decent rewards) and then bailing. There is almost no point to trying to slog through grinding progression as F2P past level 30. You can exp and grind, but only if you are bored with literally nothing else better to do, it shouldn’t be a priority because the reward for time spent is basically almost nothing. This is very different than the daily and events, which give a big reward for a few minutes of time
So that’s the plan. Level 14 now. Once I get to 30 it’ll be minimal playing. Or else I might make a new char and try other classes out until the level 30 paywall. I’m glad I checked the warnings about this particular game’s pay scheme tactics so I’m prepared ahead of time and won’t be wasting huge chunks of time for almost no reward
