The game is famously known for its extensive roster

In the year 2019 Polygon posted an article on Lost Ark Gold an elementary school student who was a victim of bullying by fellow students because he had default Fortnite skins, and hadn't purchased specific outfits. The child purportedly "begged his parents for [money] to buy a skin because no one would play with him."

Sadly, that is hardly the only example of microtransaction-based bullying. In the same year the Children's Commissioner of England organization released a study in which they found other young Fortnite players were bullied for not spending money on exclusive in-game skins.Genshin Impact is another fascinating example of a successful game exploring new methods of pushing potentially pay-to-win microtransactions.

The game is famously known for its extensive roster of characters available to play which are concealed behind what's known as the "gacha" game. Only way for players to gain access to these heroes is to make use of gems that players accumulate within the game, or buy using real money. In order to unlock most powerful and rare characters, players must add more gems to the gacha system, and hope Lady Luck smiles on them.

To make matters even more difficult players can upgrade characters by receiving replicas from Genshin's virtual slot machine. That means in order to fully upgrade the rarest characters, they must put even more money or gems into Genshin Impact. There's nothing you can do.

Games like Lost Ark, Fortnite, and Genshin Impact have different monetization strategies, but it's hard to not see the similarities best place to buy Lost Ark Gold. Lost Ark has a luck-based upgrade system, which is hidden behind a monetization paywall, the same as Genshin Impact, and gamers who don't utilize the cash shop are either restricted from certain games or be ostracized (not unlike Fortnite players that use basic skins).
