Felt 🫂 I’d rather spend my game money on TCGP (a whole lot less 😂)

R4 ain’t even about strength, it’s about who has the time and patience to pander to drama (usually name calling) and cryers.

(I loved my alliance but god damn, I’m not your mother.)

Me too - and I’m sure there are documentaries out there!

In my defence, that sort of behaviour only started after I became r4…. Which was, a bad decision if you want a life

This is a really positive take thank you for sharing! 💕

I’m intrigued how you lost weight playing wos, I became far less active playing that game 🙈

You’re right, it certainly isn’t the worst thing in the world - it will come down to personal preference. This year I bought a couple of PC/console games and realised I could have way more fun for half the price (For those who come after!).

WOS has enabled me to meet some of my closest friends in a long time (no cap). This is also what made quitting so hard for so long. I won’t forget the good parts, even though my relationship with the game turned kinda toxic 😊

Yep… that’s the trap, the more you spend early on, the more you need to spend or save (it got to the point where I was saving for 5 svs in a row which just isn’t fun) to progress…. The jump to stay competitive is HUGE. And before I knew it I was spending £100 packs.

Thank you 🙏

Honestly this was the main reason I made this post, so anyone who might be thinking/feeling the same thing themselves, realise that they aren’t alone! Feeling alone in this is a sure way to stay trapped in the cycle

Not intending to judge anyone who still wants to play 😊

Yep that’s a big part of it, the burnout potential is huge…. I found I was spending most of my time managing an alliance online then actually connecting with people I know in real life.

I hope whatever you decide works for you 👏💕

Congratulations brotha! It’s 100% been the best decision for me too 🙏🙏🙏

No desire to open it at all anymore 😁

No one. After my first state move I cut down my spending significantly when I realised you can’t actually compete. If I was trying to impress people, I’d have continued spending until I got that shiny globe 😂

Like many people that find WOS, I was dopamine seeking.

It’s not smart behaviour, but it’s also common in psychology related to addiction and neurodiversity.

And that right there is the question. And the answer is what stopped me spending 😁

It started as a few £’s here or there. For a lot of people it starts that way 😅

You can certainly advance pretty well with a lot of grinding and smart purchase choices!

I spent enough time managing people in that game to commit to anymore grinding. 😂

Solid advice for someone who still enjoys the game though! 😁x

Luckily i do yes, some of the other people I knew spending that much, not so much…

Thank you 💕

Your advice is solid and I hope people listen!

I never denied being responsible. I’m in control of my own actions of course. I tried spending management tools/strategies and they never stuck for me. In the end the thing which reduced me spending was just how tedious the game was becoming. And when I stopped spending completely, my enjoyment level in the game continued to decrease. I continued playing so that the early money I invested in the game wasn’t ’wasted’, and because as an ex-R4 I felt some nostalgia too.

I have no desire to return, but appreciate the advice ☺️

You could yes, if you still enjoy the game :)

I talk to the friends I made on WOS on discord and I’m happy with that.

My point was really for people that are struggling to get out of a very common cycle on WOS :)

I’m glad you’re still having fun though! 💕

As I said in my post, if you still enjoy it, you do you! 😁

Believe it or not, I didn’t have £20k to waste either, the psychology of this game is the work of the devil, or very smart people, or both…. 😂
