if there was a way to just buy everything for rl money iād just drop money into this game to be done with the amount of effort iāve put into it over the years, seriously. iām so tired of the grind, the hustle, the effort to breed this new combo so i can make money while itās still profitable, the grind for this material and that familiar, the constant amount of work it takes when all i want to do on this site, my main interest, my chief investment, is just to collect, dress up, and decorate shiny dragons.
i donāt want to camp for restocks so i can get a gene without having to pay a scalper on the auction house. i donāt want to grind for festival currency for literal hours anymore, iām tired of how much effort this game takes to just maintain my lair- the hibernal den and feeding dragons individually was literally a lifesaver and i will never stop being grateful for them, but iām tired. iām tired of it all but i canāt quit, either, because the seasonality of everything means that if iām not constantly on top of this game, iāll miss out on things that will be a pain to get later on. every time iāve taken a break iāve regretted it because itās that much more work to get back on top of things, if i even can at all- iāve missed out on some game-changing stuff by being away when it happened, and it just adds to my anxiety about taking a break again. i nearly missed the obelisks. it literally never ends.
i guess iām burned out, but i enjoy the part of the game that i originally came here forā¦ iām not some new player whining about having to save and work for the things i want, iāve been here since year 2 and iāve enjoyed watching the game grow- even as iāve winced at the missteps along the way. the game has grown a lot over the years, for better and for worse, butā¦ this game is like being in a pressure cooker, and while i enjoyed the satisfaction of working for everything i have, now i struggle to keep making the same effort.Ā Ā
i donāt even want everything for free- i could just scry it all and save the images if i did- i just wish it wasā¦ less constant, demanding effort. itās draining. this site is draining to play, not fun, and sometimes i really do consider just dropping a shitton of money to buy gems so i can finally get it over with and buy my way to contentment, but i donāt want to be that kind of person. if it comes to that wouldnāt it be better to just stop playing? itās not like iām rich, and itās not really going to solve the issue that iāll keep having to spend to get things if i do that, unless i want to go back to the grindā¦
i like the dragons, i love dressing them up and everything. but iām so tired of the pressure and hassle of every other feature of this site. and thatās not to say the people who still like it are wrong, iām not criticizing anyone, iām speaking only for me. and i know someone in the comments will say āiāve been playing for three days and now have a full set of sprites and a gen 1 imperial, work harderā but iām not complaining that things are too hard to get, iām complaining that the process of getting those things makes me feel like a sentient bitcoin miner chipping away at an algorithm to extract a fraction of dragon cash so i continue playing the parts of the game i enjoy.
iām tired. iām just so fucking burned out on the mechanics of this game, but i canāt stop, either.Ā
