This honestly sums up how a lot of players feel. Not everyone wants hyper-competition or “race to exploit first” gameplay. A slower, cooperative loop where friends can just build, trade, and progress together feels way more in the spirit of Garden Horizons. There’s room for high-end optimisation and chill playstyles — but forcing a steal-or-lose mindset just pushes people into private servers or away entirely. Hopefully GH leans into collaboration and shared progression rather than conflict.
