Its incredible the amount of forced pop ups & slide of hand ads that to young person look like game play! but are shop buy now!
it is rampant and needs curbing NOW!
Come on governments the kids are the ones using dad n mums phone n tablets just to keep them quiet & hitting those pay buttons by being naive.
1) The queue line for getting into the game is +1000 / 2 hours. Pay $$$ to be VIP and get instant access.
2) Each player has a small amount of special stamina for questing and getting experience per day. Once the stamina is used up, the player can not gain experience until the next day. Pay $$$ to get more stamina per day.
3) The game is extremely laggy regardless of the ISP or internet speed. Don't worry! They have official legal third party program called accelerator only for $4.99 / month!!!
This is really a problem within paid games. It's bad enough that some triple A games are being released with micro-transactions built in, but some games require an initial payment as well as a sub to play, then tack on micro-transactions to seal the deal. That, is despicable and a sure sign of desperation.
As for Micro-transactions going over board, I'd say it's not the F2p games that are going overboard but the games you actually have to Pay for that end up Adding Micro-transactions that go over board.
do you just make up comments if the comments available from real people do not fit the narrative your looking for ? seriously screenshot here showing "1 READERS COMMENTED" for jan 9th edition of f2pw
