The game is designed to get you addicted; that's the business model of most gacha games.

Endless progression, RNG, scarcity, and social pressure: these are all psychological hooks to keep you playing (and spending).

BUT it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game without feeling addicted in a bad way.

(1) You have to not take it too seriously. Understanding the psychological hooks can lead to self-awareness and perspective.

(2) You need to take breaks if you're feeling addicted. And then evaluate if you truly miss the enjoyment of the game or if it's an addiction that keeps you engaged.

(3) If you're truly miserable (like most of the forum regulars are), and feel nothing but resentment and bitterness towards Kabam, then it is time to quit. Easier said than done but lots of people do it, people who have way higher investment or social standing in the game than the nobodys on the forum. It just takes mental strength and also alternative ways to spend your time.

(4) If you can't fill the MCOC hole in your life with anything else and that's why you find it hard to quit despite being bitter and miserable, then this isn't just an addiction. It's a symptom of a deeper vacuum in your life. And it's not MCOC's fault that some people have such deep vacuums in their life that they fill it with a game they hate.

I got a few that'll probably turn some heads. But I love them!

ts kinda reminds me of that Guardians Buldge thread awhile back 😭

clearly at least half of the people who built Sentinels has some sort Mechanophilia and sthenolagnia (attraction to muscle)

He is a 10 year Vet player.. 1 round he scored 2k+ and the other did very poorly against a very basic defender.... The pause button is the least of his problems …

This is worst than pausing in BG. Ragebait at it's finest. I really thought you were leaving and was excited……

Says all rewards
