Agree. I myself once fell for them on that FarmVille abomination, but after a while I realized they were a perverted mechanism that often starts a vicious circle turning gaming from a pleasant hobby into an obsessive-compulsive experience. And suddenly I realized too that FV mainly consists of them and stopped playing it altogether and cold turkey.
