Anchor point found again, thanks for reminding me that things are predatory because they exploit one of humanity’s many psychological weaknesses (there’s your answer, @TheoreticalExistence)
FOMO is what daily quests exploits, meanwhile, you’re always free to do the same grind in AO.
Though we can argue that FOMO is being exploited with the grind since you have to go through it in order to even have a chance at putting a fight against other players, it would be far too subjective to evaluate it as such.
I’ll go and change what is and isn’t predatory in the top post tomorrow through the addition of <del> tags and <ins> text (so please don’t smite me with the force of a thousand suns in the meantime).
