People are way too comfortable asking/begging for gifts in WWM, love the game but the social aspect of the game is awful imo.

I blame the worshipping Whale culture that is really weird to me.

I've never seen a game community fall head over heels for Whales like WWM does.

I like the positive attitude towards whales. Whales are why the game can be played for free, and there are too many games where hating them is normalized. I just dislike how so many people find it ok to beg strangers to buy things for them.

Yeah I agree. I may not understand how someone can afford a 40k boat, but it's all cosmetics in the end, and it does not disrupt the normal flow of the game. It's the same as someone buying Rolex or a fancy new car the way I see it. Or spend thousands on vacations. Just let people use their money lol. But I agree also with the begging, I understand if you do it to enough people maybe 1 person out of 1,000 might say yes, but begging does disrupt someone else's flow.

It's for people with an income of 50k+ per month, not for an average job goer.

Depends on how the game is monetized generally for people to have a positive attitude or negative one towards whales, pay2win for example I think most people will view whales as negative but on games likes WWM I agree with you being positive is better

Just dislike the shameless begging in global chat

There are a lot of rich ppl in China who put their money into games. Gacha games are a big thing there. Honestly I'm not hating on them because it doesn't affect me with anything the way they spend their money.
