Thats...quite the stance there. There's so many different ways to make money in this game, you dont have to grind for any of it. (I, someone who has over 20 mil treasure at any time, hasnt touched the coli in over 2 years)
I don't think the staff are the ones divorced here.
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.)
I basically only bond my familiars daily (I do do the 'click this button for reward' type things such as pinkerton), and I have made a LOT of money through the chests.
I currently only have like five unawakened familiars left (that I own, have quite a few non owned familiars, but they are the more expensive ones such as the festival recolors).
Yeah, it can be tedious, but if you don't treat it like a sprint (ie, have to get it done in 2 seconds) it isn't that hard on the wrists. I personally read things while bonding, so I often get distracted for a few minutes (which gives my wrists time to 'rest' and stops me repeating the same motions over and over again), but I could still get the bonding done in under an hour, even with 200+ familiars to bond daily (which is what I started out with)
As an aside, this is what I really don't understand. I understand that many/most sites can stand to be more accessible to players. There are some ways to do that. But, I don't really understand the people who complain and complain about how much they hurt themselves playing a particular game (and this isn't just FR), the game itself has shown no signs of changing to be more accessible to them, and yet they still play those games. Then there are those whose idea of accessiblity is to basically just have the game play itself for them.
I admit, I love making money in games, and there is some satisfaction of seeing that number go up, but, at that point, FR is just an idle game, and I have tried them, and I can't play idle games, so what is the whole point of trying to make FR an idle game? (not to mention that it wouldn't work like that on FR due to having a multiplayer economy situation)
Also, I am in the boat of finally understanding GG but not wanting to do it because I literally fall asleep trying to do it (or get bored and wander off after two games)
They have now wiped their profile and left only "There is no war in Ba Sing Se." there standing, like last time they get called out on their bullshit. They are 1000% PE and now afraid of getting banned again.
yeah pretty much, i'll believe it when i see it. im more or less expecting them to "return" to the account in a week or so, or for them to make new account(s) soon. im usually a "block and move on" kinda person but PE consistently making new accounts makes that hard lmao

They are once again targeting me and at this point I am just giving up. Thank you for your kindness.
Does that mean they're quitting? Or will they just come back on a new account?
