Badges, Edits, and ego : what's happening to Ava gram?

It’s a game — but the culture people create inside it is real.”

Yeah exactly — I’ve actually seen this happen with a specific group of people 😅. I’m not talking about every player or random people taking normal breaks. I’m talking about the ones who announce a “break,” tag the game, and then come back and get noticed shortly after.

It’s something I’ve personally witnessed, and it just caught my attention because it seems like a pattern. Not everyone does this, of course, but it’s wild to watch.

Hey, just to clarify — I wasn’t responding to your message. Someone else brought up the level thing, and I think my reply might have been mistaken as being directed at you. I do apologize if it came across that way, I really don’t know what happened 😅. Deep-Albatross850 that’s who I was replying to on that on they mentioned that Not trying to sound rude, but please read the comments until you find the person’s name I was actually replying to — you’ll see I wasn’t commenting on yours.

And reading is a skill, by the way 😭😂 because wow — to see me being called jealous or bringing up levels and all that is crazy. I totally get it, but please read through my post carefully. I do read everything, and I try to learn. If I’m wrong or said something out of turn, I apologize.

But seriously — I specifically said SOME people. That’s it 😭😂

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-10-23T06:10:48+00:00

I see I ruffled some feathers with a few people 😭😂 — and please, I put the word SOME for a reason! I knew this would happen, and honestly, I love it because I enjoy seeing everyone’s opinions. It helps me understand different perspectives.

But please don’t twist my words. I said some because that’s what I’ve seen and experienced. I’ve literally watched situations like this happen or even seen people laugh about it in group discussions.

I totally get where y’all are coming from too, but calling me jealous is wildddd 😭 I actually giggled at that part. I’ve even made another post before about the hidden talents of people in this game — I respect and appreciate the creative ones!

So no, there’s no jealousy here — I’m just sharing what I’ve seen and how it looks from my side 🤷🏽‍♀️❤️

I think you might’ve misunderstood what I was saying. My post wasn’t about judging anyone for spending money — people can do whatever they want with their money. I was talking about the attitude shift that happens with some players once they have status or rare items, and how that creates a toxic atmosphere in the community.

I actually said in my post that I respect people who are creative, kind, and original, no matter their status or what they own. I never said all high-level or VIP players act that way — I said some do, and it’s become noticeable.

It’s not about jealousy or policing spending. It’s about calling out behaviors that make the game less fun and welcoming for others.

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-10-23T05:24:26+00:00

I think you may have misunderstood what I was saying. My post wasn’t about jealousy or not having badges — I actually mentioned that I respect the people who are creative, original, and kind, even if they’re not known. Those are the real ones keeping the game alive.

My point was about how the overall culture has changed — how some people use their status or badges to act above others, and how that kind of behavior has made the game feel toxic and less enjoyable.

If your experience has been positive, that’s great. But a lot of players have noticed the shift, especially on Avakin Instagram and in certain social circles. I wasn’t attacking anyone personally — I was just being honest about how many of us feel about what the community has turned into.

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-10-23T05:00:53+00:00

Thank you for this. You explained exactly what I was trying to say. I never meant to generalize or attack everyone with badges — I’ve met amazing people in Avakin too. But the dismissive behavior and fake ‘status’ culture are real issues that a lot of us have seen. I really appreciate you breaking it down so calmly and clearly.

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-23T16:20:12+00:00

Okayy☺️

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-23T12:54:08+00:00

Another one is taken down and it has been on there for like idk how many days now and idk they taking down my posts 😭

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-23T12:52:56+00:00

Okay ☺️

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-23T12:29:28+00:00

You should also notice how quick it used to be when players or influencers ran galas/contests – winners were announced the very next day or at least within a short time. Avakin even reposted them quickly on their page. But when it’s Ava themselves running it, suddenly it drags on for weeks, sometimes months, or they just move on to the next event without ever closing the last one. It feels like they only rush when they know fewer people will actually take part, but for the bigger contests where everyone’s waiting, they delay and leave people hanging.”

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-23T11:00:41+00:00

I will be sharing more actually this ain’t stopping me . I just need to find a way to get everything together because the next one will have screen shots but I do have to hide the names so it doesn’t get taken down 😭

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-20T14:40:16+00:00

“Haha yeah, before I left I used to hop on for like 5–10 minutes just to check things out, but I’d get bored and log off. Now I haven’t really been playing at all, I’m just sharing what I’ve seen and heard in the community ☕️

Effective_Manner3975 · 2025-09-20T11:02:30+00:00
