ARK: ASA Should Sell Only Cosmetics, Not Power
I’ve been playing on mobile for 8 years and was really looking forward to this game. I recently purchased it, but I was very disappointed and noticed the following issues:
1️⃣ The game takes up way too much space.
2️⃣ I buy the game, but DLCs need to be purchased separately; this is unnecessary and will drive players away.
3️⃣ Almost everything is paid: the game, DLCs, mods… it’s really expensive.
4️⃣ It feels like the focus is mostly on making money rather than growing the player community. I think only cosmetics should be sold; Fantastic Tames, Bob’s Tall Tales, ARK: Lost Colony, and similar content should be completely free.
5️⃣ With the recently added experience tree, the game has turned completely pay-to-win; this needs to be fixed.
6️⃣ Overall, the game and DLCs are very expensive; in short, only cosmetics should be sold, while expansions and power-giving content should be free.
