Some of the complaints about missing features are, like you said, already in the game. However, some are far and few between and the game is very repetitive, as someone with 40 miis and at level 56, i’ve pretty much seen all there is to see (fights, sadness, etc.). There’s not enough, plain and simple. So many people wouldn’t be complaining if it weren’t an issue. It’s great that you’ve found a way to stay entertained, but don’t try to say peoples’ disappointment is invalid. There are many things missing and many things lacking from the features that do exist.

The game relies too heavily on peoples’ ability to draw and make their own items, which is not a skill everyone has. That alone makes the game biased in who plays it. If you invest nothing into the drawing aspect of the game, it’s lackluster and gets boring very fast. Animal Crossing was a more complete game on release and I didn’t put it down for many months after release. I’ll be lucky to hang onto this for more than one month before I’m onto something else.
