So basically your argument is, if you don’t like the gameplay loop, they force you to pay?

Lol no, I'm saying if you do like the gameplay loop, you will eventually get trapped in it. The more you play, the more time-gated walls you hit in the daily grind, and the more time-gated ceilings you hit in the weekly/monthly grinds, all while the game is designed to hook right into your dopamine reward system and never let go. Want to play more? Better cough up some money! Finished your dailies? But today's the last day, time is running out on the banner! Cough up some money!

Oh, lol, you don't see it? The fact that there is an entire model type called "short female" with ~~eight~~ (edit: ten!) characters... but no short males? "Modestly dressed" lmao they're like 60% exposed skin, short shorts and skirts.

And oh, right, there are some "modestly" dressed children that look like children, and act like children... but coincidentally several of those short female models who aren't modestly dressed fall under that "I look exactly like the children but I'm not! I'm actually an adult! Or even an immortal" lolicon trope.

It's. Fucking. Gross.
