The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 years ago

It's pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.

Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned

The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You'd need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop

The Inherited Wealth perk is ridiculously broken.

Too many gold sinks at low level, not enough gold sinks at high level.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

WAY too much grinding at lower levels and the racial stats are all kinds of imbalanced

I haven't been here long but I imagine c/outside exists?

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

c/outside
Outdoors / Nature / Green Things

huh?

I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

Things like, "I'm level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?"

Or "What's the cheat code for an affordable surgery?"

You get the idea. Life's a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Affordable surgery is exclusive to the European servers, it seems.

I wish they would properly announce the UFO DLC already. All we have is rumors and hearsay.

if it doesn't, make it

This is reformist language at best...

Edit: Sorry for my harsh words. It's just ... the raw urgency and essence of the original criticisms here have just been squeezed out when converted into gamer-code language...

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

What exactly are you looking for then? Sounds like normal points to me.

[–] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For the love of god can you shut the fuck up about this stuff all the time???

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No more talk of economic injustice, just consume product and look forward to next product. so-true

[–] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You are free to do that... But not in the fucking MEMES community.
