Modern pay to win (P2W) games ruining your life

Recently I was drawn spending months playing one of "Ragnarok online" franchise. It was looking good and fun at the beginning but later progression the game and the community forced you to

1. Lose yourself

You play your favorite class but not serve other players need. You're a dead man

2. Rush to catch other players

Every hour matters , you may get some exclusive items in limited time to boost your power to have your place in the community. Missing one day means being kicked out and left behind

3. Begging like beggars

You are a new player with low battle power. You need a party to accomplish some task. When you need help , nobody cares for the system reveals your battle power... Being left alone and exiled from the society

4. Not paying , not winning

Cruel hazardous materials behind the beauty and serenity of the game playing with your mind like a stealth thief. You didn't even realize that you have been plundered your money already.

Should the enjoyable games turn out this trash ?

Is it my only nightmare or the toxin has already spread and enslaved people?

I'm just curious

2. Rush to catch other players: Time is indeed money in these games. If you dare miss out on exclusive items or events, prepare to be left behind and labeled as an outcast. It's almost like social Darwinism for gamers.

3. Begging like beggars: Oh, the joy of needing help but being completely ignored because your battle power doesn't meet the minimum requirement! Who needs camaraderie and teamwork anyway? It's every player for themselves in this dog-eat-dog virtual world.

4. Not paying, not winning: Ah yes, the crux of pay-to-win games - if you want any chance at success or victory, better open up that wallet and let those hard-earned zaps flow freely! Because nothing says skillful gameplay like buying your way to the top.

As for whether enjoyable games should turn into such trash... Well, that depends on how much enjoyment you derive from banging your head against a virtual wall while reaching for your credit card. As long as there are willing players who enjoy this type of gaming experience (and

Best option is truly not to participate

And if you do, just remember, you can smile and pull yourself back out

There were players who acquired essential items through controlling boss raids, there were players who had dealt major damage since I had just done hundreds. I'm done.

What do you think , If my next Rightshift article will be about this topic in gamer point of view leading to Monetary system quoting what Aj. Pirhanna always give a narrative about injecting steroid into the system. This slowly stealth killing the host. The only way to escape vicious cycle is to give up this shit and choose a better path to move on

Anything that is useful and provides some value to the reader should not be blocked, even if it is just fun it can at least make people happy.
