Battle Pass mentality

[Snack]

I don't play often but I hate that it's there and I could be earning stuff. I'm not planning to buy the Gold BP or whatever its called but do people have any advice to try not pay attention and to avoid that FOMO feeling from not hitting Lv. 60. It ruins my line of thinking and overall enjoyment of the game even though I know it's shallow.

[StRyK]

Don't care about Battle Pass. Why even think about him? It doesn't affect gameplay in any way

[Boss]

Remember that most the stuff in the battle pass so far was pretty garbage and you definitely would never have used or even looked at most of it anyway

[Ring Master Jesus]

This is the problem with kids today, you guys are affected by every tiny little thing. Today's generation is weak minded soft whiny and entitled. The battle pass has the free tier that you don't even need to buy it and still get something, and if you don't care about it then just pretend it doesn't exist. It doesn't affect your wins or losses in anyway.

[Serious]

Just ignore it.
Shouldn't be to difficult with the quality it has.

[Bullmuk]

I feel motivated to win when my battle pass level has not hit 60 yet once it hits 60 i am like what ever..

[BACKSTABUUU]

That's what battle passes are designed to do. It's such garbage.

i know that feel, if i miss 1 tier ill quit the game forever i did the same thing in black ops cold war years ago, thats why if i dont get games Day 1 nowadays then i never buy them ever even if theyre 90% off, its all about the progression

[Cheez3™]

for me it gives me a purpose for playing and controlling the daily playtime
"oh Im not getting more BP exp boost, enough gaming for today" it keeps my head fresh with tekken, also I love doing customs, the more cosmetics the better.

rn I almost not playing tekken at all cuz I completed the BP weeks ago.

For other games perhaps but I'm not sure how people would have FOMO over the Tekken battle passes as most of the content is trash.

Yeah looking over the rewards and current Tekken I really shouldn't care. It's that little bit of missing out. At least with Halo MCC's it all stays there to chip away at whenever.

Couldn't agree more.

It's such a stupid gimmick to get players to stay playing the game. An artificial enticement.

I think you have misunderstood my point. I know the battle pass doesn't impact gameplay directly, and I'm aware that ignoring it is an option. The issue I was pointing out is more about how the design of battle passes can make it harder to enjoy the game freely. These systems are structured to create FOMO and encourage players to hop on even when they may not want to, essentially turning it into an obligation.

It’s not about being 'weak-minded' or 'entitled' but rather about noticing that this design can impact player mentality. A lot of people (not just younger players) feel this, and it’s becoming a pretty common discussion point across games. If you have any tips on keeping the focus on fun over rewards, I'd be interested to hear them.

I don't care so much about the battle pass, what I don't like is, that the rewards are gone forever when it's over.
I don't want them for free, I mean, it's a fact, that I missed it, for whatever reason, but why not simply putting at least the cosmetic items for chars and avatar in the shop? And I don't care, for what I think they could put a 3000 coins price tag on each single item, but I really, really hate FOMO tactics and think they should at least made available and if it is massively overpriced.
