It's predatory and incentivizes gambling or spending money. Good for profits bad for maintaining players since players will get sick of them if they're done one after another.
Since in islands, you're now collecting:
- Sticker Packs
- Flairs
- Pet Food
- Collection Items
- Return/Risen Collection Items (If Ongoing)
So you have to sacrifice one for the other.
Just make it a plain old battlepass.
All this competition for this kinda stuff is not fun.
Very few like heroic races because of the same thing.
But this time, a single p2w can ruin your chances.
Unless you hit the gambling "features"
You guys are just adding more and more money milking features without thinking about the future of the game.
All this does is bleed players.
