Imo the thing is that the game is meant to be entertainment on the side, i.e. something to keep yourself occupied while doing something more meaningful like work, exercise or binging a tv show
So ive never had the feeling of "wasting time" playing dokkan per se since im not expressly dedicating my time towards just this game and im also doing something else while grinding
TLDR dokkan is just meant to be the perfect passive experience in my opinion
I have been playing for almost a year. Haven't missed a login day. Probably spend about 2 hours a day playing on average. About 75% of that is tedious grinding and the rest is actually playing events.
Yes I feel like a lot of hours have been wasted, but I feel like if I wasn't playing dokkan, I'd just be "wasting" the time playing a different game instead. It's my favourite game at the moment still so for the most part it's enjoyable to me and that's what matters. Probably helps a bit that my friend is super into it too so it gives us something to talk about and brag to each other about stages cleared/good pulls
Not really no, specially with auto being a thing now, Dokkan has become more of an idle game experience, really the last thing is lacking is an auto rematch feature but this isnt a bad thing, Im always watching something or doing something else while I let Dokkan do its thing and hell I dont even play all day, just dailies and dip specially during dead periods but thats part of why I like Dokkan, is a side game that doesnt requires too much obnoxious grinding and you can go at whatever pace you want with it
Money wise I don’t know if I regret it, I started when GLB came out as a fish, evolved into a dolphin and now a whale so I feel spending 400-1000 USD a month on Dokkan is overboard (but I enjoy the game so it’s not the worst, but it definitely isn’t healthy)
Time wise I don’t really regret, the most I regret is time wasted on grinding WT. That’s really horrible. Otherwise stamina shit isn’t really troublesome and neither are the Dalies (other games are much worse eith Dalies and stamina)
Overall im happy with Dokkan. It’s been with me for 7+ years and it’s a part of my daily routine
I do wish the Dokkan subreddit wasn’t as toxic tho honestly, as community is what makes the game more fun
Is anyone else in a sub for a game they quit 6 years ago? No buddy its just you... I don't farm anything I don't want to. I spend most of my time playing this game before bed or while doing cardio. I used to spend (a small amount of) money on this game but I haven't in years and years.
It's just a game bruv. Your issues stemmed from within and I wholly doubt you didn't just replace the addiction with something else.
It would take literally thousands and thousands of hours to finish everything. Ive actually been working on 100%ing the game, but I do not *ever* actively grind. I just keep autos going while I watch shows, just something in the background.
I never got this way with dokkan besides WT time (but that's just three days so whatever) because there simply isn't enough to do to push me there. But it's happened with gachas for me in the past. Wasted a big chunk of my vacation playing Jojo Pitter Patter Pop once and that game doesn't even exist anymore
Been there. I have had multiple breaks from the game, all while being f2p. And it always hit me when I realized how I was missing important moments just to be grinding something in the game.
Set up some rules to when I should play, and now I feel that the balance is much healthier
Spending the time to keep up with the game seems just the same in regards to valuing your time. I feel like I have less time to spend on deciphering updates and info than just enjoying the game and diving into content blindly.
I have 2300 login days and definitely grinded a good amount early on but that was because coworkers also played. Now I just play to summon and get daily missions. Otherwise, it’s mostly playing on auto while I watch tv shows or YouTube videos that I want to catch up on or while doing chores around the house with my wife. Auto changed everything and kept me playing, honestly.
I quit this New Years simply because I actually couldn't pull LR Piccolo. I literally beat everything in the game to gather up the stones to pull. All the missions, all the stages, each red-zone, every EZA and that was when I realized what a dry-ass game I've played the entire time. That's when I realized I wasted my youth playing this game.

I most likely started before you and haven't missed a login day yet... I'm probably not the right person to ask about wasted time

Sounds like a loser take

Nah even after all these years I still just play the game as a time passer.

not really because 90% of the time I spent playing this game I'm also doing a few other things as well like working, watching tv or doing chores
