Right? This is one of the chillest games ever. It takes me like max 25 minutes a day to do all my dailies (including G&G + familiar bonding), and maybe an extra 10 if I have bonus fodder I want to train. I often don't do much more than that and checking in occasionally for Baldwin. I make plenty in a week or two to buy most anything I want, and if I want something that costs more than that, I just gotta be patient and save up. Even festivals are pretty easy since we get currency from daily activities now, plus can craft it via Baldwin. Obviously, you can get more money faster if you actually do grind more, but like... that's true for all games. It's a game. If you want things you have to put in some degree of effort. If less than 30 minutes a day of playtime is too grindy for someone, maybe this isn't the game for them?
(To be fair, not everyone is able to understand the G&G guides, but a lot of people just don't want to do it because it's boring. I'm very much in support of adjusting existing Fairgrounds games to have equivalent treasure rewards + adding new ones, but even so, you still gotta play the game to make money. Shocking, I know.)
