Crystalline Conflict is the least fun I've had playing this game.

I enjoy it but I can't deal with the rampant cheating. There are numerous youtube videos calling this out but the devs don't care. Until something changes it's just going to get worse and worse.

Time limited event mounts, time limited achievements, exclusive achievements only earned once per season, exclusive time limited titles and gear sets, series pass only lasting 2 patches.

If fomo isnt real then I guess the phone I'm typing this message on isnt real either

All things in a digital game that will one day no longer be playable so worrying about such things is pointless, especially when 99% of the time the glam/mounts people complain about from limited events literally end up in the bottom of the backpack never to be used.

FOMO isn't real, sorry, not sorry.

Dude, all of your arguments are just deflections. None of them actually say what you think they say.

Then why are you even here? All of your achievements in this game are transient. Why are you posting in the forums? These servers will one day crumble and this will all be forgotten. Why do anything? You'll one day die, and in a thousand years no one will ever know you even existed.
The intervening time is what's important. And in that intervening time, I want to be able to have fun by, say, collecting things. And this design says no.

Completely irrelevant. You're literally saying that having a terrible system is fine because most of the problems it causes don't matter. That still means that some of them do.
If I want to make a glam that uses one of these restricted items, I'm SoL. It could be the perfect item for the glam, and I can never finish it because SE says so.
And so, I hoard glams. If I want to make sure I have that one perfect item for that one glam one day, I have to collect every one I can. Of course, that means that anytime something time-limited comes along I have to scrabble to get it or forever let it slip away.
THAT is FOMO. THAT is the thing that you say doesn't exist, regardless of how much people point it out. Just stop man.

I would accept the argument that a perfectly functional, perfectly sane human mind would not be bothered by FoMo, as long as it was said in the context that there are almost none of them, and they are a smaller percentage then those who are harmed by it.

I'm on the forums to generally just pass time. I play the game for fun. I don't feel the need to go for achievements or try to acquire every little glam and mount, because that level of obsession is insanely unhealthy and those type of players who deal with "FOMO" probably shouldn't be playing games like this.

If there's a item I can no longer get that would have been a neat glam I simply just go "oh well" and move on to something else. Obsessing over things like that is unhealthy, period, end of story. Time limited events engage the community to do content, that's the entire point and there's nothing bad about it. When the event is over people move on to the next thing. If you missed out its not the end of the world. Seriously, get over it.

Congradulations, you are very slightly more healthy then the average person.
This does not mean that there are not millions of people being bilked out of more then they can afford with fomo.

Then they should seek help for anxiety and other issues. FOMO in itself isn't an actual thing and isn't even officially recognized in any medical capacity.

imagine pretending things don't exist because they don't happen to you lol

[Alsatiam]

I mean:
-A non-functional matchmeking with teams where players don't even understand the objective of the game against players who often have leagues of difference
-A team game where it is forbidden to communicate, seriously? nobody in the staff said that "team" and "forbidden to talk" did not go together, it is impossible to reorganize if you start to lose the game and the game is often over as soon as one side passes the center
-It's more a game of luck than skill at this point
-There should be a minimum of 20 casual games before you can play ranked games
-The classes are not balanced and the teams are not balanced either, sometimes two heal against none
-Climbing up the ranks is complicated and polluted by all the previous points, plus cheaters and players who lose voluntarily, you will also lose because some don't even play the objectives and they are often never banned
-And as others have said, there are also lag problems with skills, abusive cc's etc...

Even for the excuse that PVE is the main objective, it's not a reason to add a mediocre pvp system

It's sad that nobody takes the problem seriously and we can wonder if the devs really care or if they just don't know their game
