Simple question - Why are you so addicted to this game???

So addicted that in spite of all the problems keep returning to play. Let's see when I say enough and quit because I am sure nothing from Kabam's end is going to change!!!

I’m pretty sure Kabam do all they can to balance milking and fair play

I play casually ... low tier alliance, no AW, occasional AQ ...

I'm Uncollected (finally), but I just run (maybe) 1 pass on Uncollected ..

I play to enjoy myself .. not bang my head against a wall .. so I haven't (and won't for a while) try for Cavalier ...

If I can't make a run on something without boosts/revives, I usually won't bother ..

I only play an hour or 2 a day .. total.

I find it fun and enjoyable .. you just have to accept the fact, any growth is going to be sloooooow ..

hehe

I personally think the problems arise when people join the game, and have any or all of the following mindsets:

- "I must win the game."
- "I have access to this, therefore, it should be easy for me."
- "I'm a perfect player and don't make mistakes."
- "I have to have that new champ NOW".
- "New content needs to be cleared the day it becomes available."

Lose those mindsets, and the game is fun .. even with it's little quirks here and there

Like @dot_ditto I too am a somewhat casual player, even though I DO AQ-AW. The collection of characters I like and the ability to customize my perfect team is what I like the most.

Advancement is addicting.

I hear a lot of buzz about all that is wrong with the game, but I don't experience it that way - maybe I'm not hardcore enough, lol!

The thing that keeps me playing is all the investment I've already put into the game. I have built up a pretty good roster and if I stop I will have lost all of that. I know eventually I will stop playing, but the time I've already put in keeps me playing. Plus, a lot of it is fun for me. I don't do more than I want to though. I don't like AW so I don't play it.

The immense variety of combat mechanics, collecting champs, and gambling on crystal openings.

who says I am addicted, I can quit any time I want

*checks for a vein*

I stopped playing now multiple times and played other games, but I always come back. I think there are a couple of reasons for that:

1. I love the alliance system, there is no other game were I felt as much as part of a group than MCoC. A good alliance is just so mich fun, there is much teamwork involved, you can chat with people, help people and just make jokes
2. Im a really bad player, but I love the gameplay. Even though the base idea is simple, its very challenging. There is just no better feeling than winning a hard fight with pure skill
3. The progress is extremely addictive, it just feels great to finally pull a good champion. And even when you pull a trash one it only motivates you more to get a better one and makes the feeling when you finally pull a God Tier even better

Not sure if I would call it addicted or in love with it. Of course, if you saw my relationship history....hahaha.
There are many reasons. It relaxes me, I love the game, close to 4 years later and I never run out of things to work on, the animations are great, I've made some great connections, I love Marvel, I'm excited for the future, I've put a great deal of time into it, I could go on.

If it wasn't for the Alliance aspect of the game, I probably would not have gotten as sucked into the game as much as I have.

But I can tell you one thing for sure:
The day I tell my SO that the game is over and the servers have been shut off, will be the happiest day of her life.

Kobster84

I think for a lot of people it’s simply because if you stop now that’s so much time just wasted lol

Gildenlow

I have not idea, but I don't think I can't stop playing it.

Buttehrs

Because i love marvel and i look forward to playing with many obscure and lesser known characters

@Stewman

I know what you mean, there have been times I have stopped playing for a while because my wife has gotten upset about me playing so much. But I've tried to be more balanced and she had become more understanding over time, but I think she will be glad when I stop playing for good. 😂

Well for the last year or so I haven't been any where near hardcore in eq, this month I have only played first completion of UC, haven't even completed master first run yet, I wouldn't even bother with heroic. I just play at my pace, don't spend no units to complete eq, but when it comes to aw and aq, it's a different story, I do take part in both of them hardcore, due to the bonds I have built with my Ally's, I guess playing alliance related events hardcore just gets me burnt out, leaving no interest for eq. At this point I play to keep being connected to the friends I have made, I am not in a race with any one and I enjoy this pace.

Our brains get very less dopamine but occasional good pull or rewards gives a sudden dopamine rush, to which we are addicted. Games which provide you instant dopamine each time you log in tend to earn less from players in comparison to games which deprive you but too much deprivation cause you to leave the game.

Narwhal52x

I'm not addicted.

Hammerbro_64

It’s more interesting and satisfying than an ad-ridden tap game. Also, marvel.

rcm2017

Just coz of marvel characters and the game design is best...animations etc...

My test for whether I'm happy to play the game or addicted to playing the game is when someone asks for my time. As long as I'm perfectly fine with finishing out whatever fight I'm on and putting the game down, I know it is fun and not addiction. The day I can't do that, I'll know something is wrong.

Back in the day when I used to play computer MMOs, there were times I wouldn't do that. That's where the test comes from.

I was in need of a game to grind because those are my favorite types of games and I downloaded this one and just never stopped playing to me it's about get awesome cool champs and expanding my roster.

This ^^^ and the occasional dollar spent over the years

Cause they gave me the first one for free... seemed innocent enough... all the cool kids were doing it. Things just escalated from there. Now I’m taking 20 doses of ISO-8 a day just to stay even... 😫😫😫😫😫😫.

This opening post is a joke! If you don’t enjoy the game, quit! The game is what it is... the company is what it is. Accept it and play your way or just quit. Nobody likes a whiner.
