Are you enjoying this?

I would recommend those people talk to a therapist about their issues rather than continuing to force themselves to engage in activities they greatly dislike, over imaginary items with no real or perceived value. Ransu is being a dick about it, but their core point isn't incorrect.

FOMO isn't real. And if people are forcing themselves to engage in activities that they find distasteful or unenjoyable in the pursuit of FOMO... dude, that's something you should talk with a therapist about, because that is *not* behavior people who are of sound emotional health engage in. It's *okay* to go "no, this isn't for me." You do not have to collect everything.

Thing is, I DO enjoy PvP. I actually enjoy CC quite a bit, but FOMO makes me enjoy it less. (And, yes it is real. It's a real thing that some scumbag developers design to exploit)
But fundamentally your argument is backwards. I DO enjoy collecting things, that's what I enjoy in this game. So when some cool mount is dangled forever out of my reach, because I wasn't quick enough to PvP... like the magitek chairs from the Feast that were gone before I started on PvP in this game, it's frustrating and annoying, despite finding the PvP fun itself. My enjoyment is lessened because of the design.

Yeah, you shouldn't force yourself to do things you don't like because of FOMO. But that means that people who legitimately do enjoy the collectable aspect of things are locked out of part of what they find enjoyable about the game, for the benefit of... who exactly?

Sounds like a you problem to me.

Oh wow, a personal grievance on a forum where you can air your grievances, about what I find makes things less fun in a thread specifically asking if you're having fun in PvP and why.
I've made such a grave mistake whatever will I dooooo.

Like I said before, this is a thing that makes the game less fun for some people (like me) and doesn't affect other people (like you). So... your opinion about it is more or less irrelevant.

You truly have nothing of value to say here do you? Your high horse sounds incredibly dull. You've still yet to explain your claim even once beyond "nope."

And I'm still curious.

FOMO is not recognized as a disorder in any official capacity, nor is it recognized as a mental health condition. It is purely viewed as an emotional response the same way being "offended" is nothing more than an emotional response. Its not real.
