I am referring the title of 'Numbskull' to everyone who has played more than 50 days x 24 hours.
I've played 72 days x 24 hours and come to the conclusion that concussion can be obtained from spending too many real lifetime hours in one place. And whilst at best I try to see Trove as entertainment in conclusion it is a 'time-warp' with unreachable and addictive results.
This may serve as a warning to anybody under the 50 days but well into making it their longest played game in their life. That isn't an achievement its a disgrace and I'm ashamed that I allowed myself to be subdued into this fantasy realm that absorbed so many hours I cant redeem. This game beats you to a pulp and lets you down so ungracefully.
WARNING WARNING WARNING > Trove is very addictive because it subliminally feeds you consistent needs just to satisfy your desire to continue playing. It does this by setting up weekly tasks you need to complete regularly to get enough resources to build your Character's PR. Power Rank is the primary factor that drives Trove. If you understand the concept of Slot Machine design in Casino Games, the Casino always wins even by a small margin it keeps you satisfied and focuses on drawing your attention to staying playing its content and it is the same in Trove. That is fact.
It is not a free game. Yes you play for free but despite your needs it has formulated a set of rules that will require many hours of game play just to meet the basic game foundations which are a necessity to build PR. I payed and played Premium over several months which accounts for real $ money going into collecting more resources during game play for XP and PR building at a faster rate but that is all you get. This is where you can burn wealth for personal satisfaction in a subdued fantasy and in return because you don't own your content, changes to the game are going to affect that value of wealth you have used versus in-completion or setting a new benchmark or challenges. It is a lead on that entices you to continue playing but in actual reality you are being conned to think you will be successful. You wont because the premise of this game is to make money from its players over a long period.
The main reason I write this thread is to warn you to observe Trove from a distance. It is not your friend. It is a business entity that can suck you in to thinking you are having a good time and you'll believe it in all its fantasy of complex gaming whilst you become a Numbskull like me. End result; You cant blame anyone except yourself for your indulgence.
I sought advice and as a precaution I am deleting my entire game from my console permanently because it doesn't need to be in my life and I prefer to experience the real world for all the crap it throws at me its a better environment than what Trove could ever present.
