The game's MMORPG nature, combined with microtransactions and a focus on progression, presents risks of dopamine manipulation through variable rewards and an infinite play loop. Social comparison and potential competitive toxicity in PvP areas are also present. The lack of natural stopping points and potential penalties for breaks could encourage extended play sessions.
