Hello all. I figured this would be worthwhile to post since we've now had 3 fairly terrible banners in a row (well, awakened warriors is nice for new comers) and some people have issues with wanting to pull and wasting tickets on trap banners.
I know, like me, you get that itch to pull. It sucks. I hate it. But sometimes you have a bad day and want to cheer yourself up. Unfortunately, 10 minutes later, you blew 48 saved tickets on a bad banner like the ruggles one, and have nothing to show. You're more depressed, angry, and wanna quit the game. My brain was severely damaged and lost oxygen for about 4-8 minutes from a freak accident, I'm lucky to be alive.
I know the feeling all too well. Despite being over 110 tickets, I get the urge. So here's what I've done and still do to help with the controls.
Tip 1 - have a friend pull for you. Tell him/her to only do your daily and hand the phone back, or set a limit like 3 tickets. Tell them to not go over and help u cope with the good/bad pulls.
Tip 2 - https://www.inc.com/jeremy-goldman/6-apps-to-stop-your-smartphone-addiction.html this website has a few apps that can restrict your phone from access for a few hours. It sounds ridiculous as tho we all should have self control, but we don't. This let's you have time to cool off and not rage pull, which almost always will cause more issues.
Tip 3 - distract yourself. I personally started ffxii and it's so fun. As soon as I get the urge to pull, I boot it up and easily forget after a bit. Right when you do your daily or use a set amount of tickets, set the phone down and play something to get your mind off of things. The mind can easily be distracted by stimuli like smell ( I cook and bake amazing cakes!) so within a few minutes, you should forget.
Tip 4 - finally, take your credit card off of iTunes/google store, so that way you don't rage buy more lapis. I've done it once or twice, and learned my lesson.
I hope this helps some people, as I've done a few too many rage summons, and don't want others to waste their hard earned lapis or tickets on bad banners, and instead, hoard them for NIER or veritas.
So, what's your way to prevent rage summons?
