Life or pico: the true meaning

Written by: Vegemite

 

Every pico has a choice; the choice of being on pico all day...
...Or living life at it's full. I would prefer living life at it's full, but pico can be addictive.

As living life at it's full is the healthier option, it also is important. You have been given a life for a reason and that is, to live it.

• When your on pico all day, your not.
• When your buying gold, your not.

So what's my point? Pico is addictive. Pico is designed to try force you into buying gold or be addicted to the game.

My point of view on gold: Buying gold is like throwing your money away. Although I have bought gold myself in the past, I am never buying it again. If you are a frequent gold buyer, please do me a favour: that is to try and stop buying gold. I'm not asking you to do this because I'm mean or nasty, I'm asking you to do this for your own health and safety. I know, it's hard. But it really helps. I've stopped buying gold and I feel much better. Because money is not something to waste, it is an important thing used in life.

I know, you want to look: cool, rich and famous, etc. But we are talking about a virtual game here! Who cares if you don't look cool, rich or famous on a virtual game?! I have bought gold many times in the past, as you can see in that picture. But it's a game. I didn't realize what I was doing until now. Maybe it's your turn to realize what your doing. Yes, I look happy in the picture, but am I really happy? No, I'm not.
I am upset at myself because I got gold in the past. I'm being honest here, I'm still tempted into buying gold. But I choose not to buy gold. You know why? Because I know it's not the end of the world if I don't buy gold.
If you haven't bought gold before, well done! Keep on that track, and don't ever buy gold. Because it makes a huge difference. A good one.

So that's why I choose life over pico. Now I don't go on pico as often as before, which I'm quite happy about, (as I am in the middle of exams).

I hope you learnt something. I hope it made a difference. If it didn't, I don't mind. Just try and take my advice. Please; for your health and safety.

A friendly tip from ROM-eo™

Written by: ROM-eo™

A token can go a long way, if you spend it right. Why spend Ameba Gold on an item that you can buy with a token? The possibilities with a token aren't as limited as you think.

You can buy things for your wardrobe, actions, room decor, and a lot of other wonderful things too! I will let you in on a little secret my favorite white combat boots were bought with a token and that’s the best token I have ever spent. It doesn't make sense to spend 230 Ameba Gold on a sweater that you can use a token for. Some items on Pico are worth simply gold and some are worth gold and tokens. I understand if you buy an item that is simply gold, but if you want to save extra gold use a token instead on items that require them. If you can afford not even pay attention to tokens, then by all means carry on. However, if you are frugal like me you, using a token just might save you some Gold. Gaining a token may take two weeks, but patience is a virtue and you will be rewarded for your wait.

Having to buy gold every now and then can become a hassle, and it seems like almost everything today is gold. Premium Gacha really wouldn’t bother me as much if they didn’t give you the same item repeatedly.Like me, it probably aggravates you when you expect to get that one Gacha item you desire the most but then end up with 7 of the same things and you already previously have 5 of the other items in your wardrobe.

Even though it pains me to continue playing Gacha, I will never stop. Hopefully something could be done so that we wouldn't have to experience getting the same items over and over again. I hope my little Token use/Gold saving tip was a bit usefully to you. Just some friendly advice from me to you.
