I just had my 9 year old nephew try MV in a real room and he got overwhelmed by the veterans one-shooting him every time he respawned. Then the AI room was a nice environment for him to get to know the game mechanics without pressure.

If not trade, at least a way to recycle a number of repeated parts for something else of the same capsule or more tries, just like in other gacha games. Trade at times gets tedious and tiring because of people over or under valuing stuff, since there is no way to have a fixed value on items. In surge at the end they kinda had a good system where you could buy someone else's stuff with RT but at the same time no one wanted "common" RT for their rares. There is also the black market of people buying stuff with real money on the side and getting scammed lol

ReqMort for most of the time but also Sauron and Darkness until the very end. I didn't care very much about the competitive side of the game but I enjoyed collecting rare stuff and hanging out with friends. Was in several clans and made great friends over the years, some of which I still have contact up until now. It is indeed great to see familiar names all over. I really miss the forums drama lol
