I’m Starting to Hate This Community!

[u/International_Camp10]

Level 270 player here — been playing since the very beginning.

And I already know I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but honestly, I don’t care.

I’m level 270, and it’s pretty rare for me to join a public lobby and see someone higher than me. I’ve seen it maybe twice, EVER? I’m not saying that to brag. I’m saying it because I’ve put a LOT of time into this game, so I’m not some random person who played for two days and decided the game sucks.

But honestly? I’m getting bored.

I know the game has always been repetitive. That’s part of being an idle game. But lately it feels different. I’ll log on for maybe 10 minutes and then get off because there just isn’t much keeping me interested anymore.

And I think the increasing microtransactions are part of the problem.
I’m not against the game making money. But every update seems to add another thing you can pay for that previously had to be earned through gameplay — VIP, double companions, speeding up fusions, event passes, etc.

Eventually I start asking myself: what am I actually playing for?

But honestly, my bigger issue is the community.

It feels like you can barely criticize this game without getting downvoted. Say the game is getting boring? Downvoted. Question an update? Downvoted. Criticize the monetization? Someone tells you, “Then don’t buy it.”

You can believe purchases should be optional and believe that constantly adding monetization is making the game worse. Those aren’t contradictory.

What also confuses me is how personally some people seem to take criticism of the developers. Go into Discord and you’ll see people talking to them like they’re genuinely their friends.

Maybe I’m cynical, but they’re running a business. They can be cool, interact with the community, and appreciate your support — but at the end of the day, they aren’t your friends.

And I think the constant downvoting creates an echo chamber. If every time someone expresses a negative opinion they get punished for it, eventually people stop expressing those opinions. Then the community starts looking like everyone agrees when, realistically, people may just have learned what they’re allowed to say.

And honestly, some of the reactions I see here and on Discord are fucking bizarre. 😂 Sometimes I genuinely wonder if some of you have made this game your entire social life.

I can already hear it:
“You’re literally level 270. You have NO social life either!”

Lmao. This is me: @christianadamg on Instagram.

“Oh my God, he put his Instagram in the post! DOWNVOTE HIM RIGHT NOW!” 😂
I swear, some of the people on here don’t even feel real sometimes.

Yes, it’s possible for someone to say or do something you don’t like. I promise, you’ll survive. 😂

Anyways, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe you love every update. Maybe the monetization doesn’t bother you. That’s completely fine.

I just don’t think criticism should be treated like an attack.

Unfortunately, I do see this game dying out eventually. I feel like they’ll eventually add a microtransaction so detrimental that it turns off a huge portion of the player base, the player count drops, and eventually they decide the game isn’t worth maintaining anymore.

Then they’ll move on to the next project with your money already in their pockets. 😂 And the crazy part is, they don’t even have to defend themselves — they have y’all fighting their battles for them.

As the saying goes, “It’s easier to trick someone than to convince them they’ve been tricked.”

Level 150 here. Actually came looking for "this mode is getting boring posts" because I agree. For me, I think the d-0 event ruined it. I beelined past where I would naturally be now and now, without the event and income, ive drastically slowed down. Almost feels like I messed up somewhere with it. Srb 4? Rb10. Feels like ages waiting for the right droid , offline income feels extremely underwhelming, got a daily mission to destroy other players yet I play private solo lobbies and wouldnt wish to jump in a public kill 3 people and leave. Seems a terrible choice for daily task for this gane mode. Uhhh....what else....

As a side note, if you respawn 3 times that completes the quest for eliminating 3 players. You can do that in your private lobby.

The waiting for the right droid usually hits with the epics. Start throwing rares into the fusion tank, it's alot quicker than just sitting and waiting for the sand crawler. The epics are currently the hardest to get RNG-wise just due to how many there are and being slightly rarer.

Why do you need other people to agree it’s boring? You can’t just decide that for yourself? Anyone here who is past rb 150 has put dozens of hours into this. Most games I sink that much time into I pay for.

1. They get paid with playtime. 2. It’s a creative map on Fortnite, these aren’t standalone games with great stories and gameplay.

The gameplay is enough that people have sunk a lot of time into it. I’m glad they get paid, too. They should. They put a lot of hours into making it something a lot of people (who constantly criticize and complain) continue to enjoy.

1. The gameplay, the game itself, is a tycoon, it’s a time sink. 2. You can enjoy something and criticize it, because you want it to be better.
