Particular care should be taken when determining the amount of resources that may be paid out in various content, such as experience and in-game currency. Players are smart, and if they know that they can collect resources efficiently in a particular content, they will repeat that behavior. /design_knowledge/success/improve_unpopular_content/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 /design_knowledge/success/improve_unpopular_content/ While the game will be packed with a variety of elements, there will always be features and content that are underutilized. Such content should be improved, not neglected. Reasons why content is unpopular can be categorized as follows Boring Rewards are not attractive Takes too much time Boring It is also important to discard boring content gracefully.

If the balance between resource acquisition and consumption is positive, you should consider content that consumes the resource. If the balance of resource availability/consumption is inversely related, you should consider content that emits the resource. However, if the game balance is designed with resources as valuable, it is preferable to leave the amount of emissions as they are, as intended.
