If I could show you all the players who support crowns and play this game like their lives depend on it, I would, but that would be mean.

I'm sorry, but if you even think they're going to remove crowns when these Instagram Avakin pages have thousands of followers and supporters, you're sadly mistaken, and that's just Instagram alone. It's almost as if they're a cult: "Still gonna buy it," "I don't think they're a scam," "just delete the game," "Because I can and why not."

People actually like crowns. We are a small minority. I could tell you why crowns exist in the first place, and it wasn't about them "having no money to keep the game running," but that also would be mean. Stop with that excuse, please. I've seen simple games that are worse than Avakin Life generate more revenue than most games out there.

And part of me is starting to think it was inevitable for Avakin Life to turn out this way as a virtual 3D open-world chat mobile game; it's trying to reflect real life too much. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I can imagine Avakin players now saying, "Hahaha, you wear Avacoin clothes."

But, yeah, stop complaining about crowns. Please. I personally think it's very odd that a developer would do something like this. Not even some big companies themselves would do this, but hey, it's not my game, and I'm not trying to cause any controversy.

Also, I don't see anything wrong with every player having "exclusive items." Who are they going to brag to? It's a mobile game, for Christ's sake. Everyone had AirPods, Timberlands, and Balenciaga back then, and there was no discourse in the community.

There are already established communities, and saying "hello" is a huge accountability risk. Not to mention, some players actually get rude if you "interrupt" their conversations when, in reality, it's an open chat game, or some will even just stare at you like you said nothing at all.

2. Fear of Judgment → There are too many people in the server to speak your mind.

3. Oh, and get rid of the chatbox entirely, to be honest. That seems like the major problem. If you're over there, I don't want to hear or see your conversation over here. I know there's a way to get rid of it currently now, but yea

4. There's no reward/dopamine for conversation. Yes, I know, this one is weird, but like... I don't know. Maybe I don't enjoy this game as much as I use to but please don't let that dictate what I'm trying to say here.

5. The "spark" is gone. I just don't get that feeling anymore as much as I use too. Self admittedly, It's feel like I've established an ego on whether who gets to talk to me or not. I see it in other high level 40-80 players too, but every once in a while I say hi to people who say hi in-game.
