Talk:Beta Testing/@comment-39534984-20191118232133

everyone's like "I actually think beta testing was better because now everything sucks" yet you keep playing and you won't stop. it's not so much the game changing, it's the people. the pursuit of better, more rare items is a fundamental part of AJ and it's what keeps people logging in day after day. why else would people do TFD marathons? it's boring and pointless -- but there's a chance that you'll get a rare item. that's what it's all about.

we all started animal jam because it looked fun and now it's all about items. it has happened (or will happen) to almost everyone and it will only get "worse" because greed is part of human nature. even if AJ was forever in beta testing, it would've become like this anyways.

even though it sounds bad it's not necessarily. blatant materialism is often looked down upon, but everyone shows it at some point.
