Thank you for your service there. I was going to take a nap but the hire this guy rubbed me wrong.
Seriously, My biggest issue was most of it is just throw it into another existing mechanic and claiming it's creative.
Except the mini games, which a portion of the playerbase would have the same issues they have with coli and G&G and the stealing the bullshit Neopets random events/generic site wide Easter egg hunt of games from years ago.
It just proves my theory that the worst person to design a new game feature is any single player. They look at it with their playstyle in my and go "here, it's perfect".
There is no game feature/idea that will please every player or work with every playstyle. However, if a thing is appealing to one person, there's a non-zero chance it would appeal to at least some others as well - perhaps even a significant-enough fraction of the playerbase to make it worth implementing. Or perhaps not. Or probably not. But brushing off an idea because "You're only suggesting that because you'd enjoy it"...I don't know, why else does anyone make any suggestions?
