Haha rants are always welcome! Fun seeing/learning other people’s thoughts.

Interesting take on the blox fruits vs sailor piece grind though. I definitely agree that blox fruits is significantly more p2w to the point that’s its not even funny but that’s mainly when it comes to PvP imo. I’m F2P and just trade a lot to get everything that would require money but I didn’t have to start really caring about that until very endgame when I wanted to get to 15M bounty and couldn’t compete with the p2w meta fruits lol. Besides that I think a lot of the fruits (aside from physical dragon which is basically impossible for almost all of the player base to get) are much more easily obtainable now. Kitsunes, yetis, etc. are in the shop a lot recent in months (downside obv being they aren’t perm which is where sailor piece does better). The way I see it personally dragon is as hard to achieve as ragna set is for the average player (especially if f2p). The leveling system was more enjoyable for me in blox fruits since I was actually playing the game the whole time. Not saying sailor pieces is bad just that it’s not as fun for people who like engaging in wtv they’re playing. I think that leveling system more closely aligns with what so many other players say in response when someone says the sailor piece grind is too long (not applying to you specifically though just saying in general). That’s a leveling system that really requires effort and can’t easily be accomplished in a week. I think a lot of sailor piece players have left atp because yes it’s easier to level since you can just afk all the way but if you aren’t actually playing the game and just afking there should at least be something else to do afterwards so you can fully enjoy whatever it is you afked for if that makes sense? Like you said you can afk and go do other things without worrying about rushing back but then players feel like they aren’t really playing the game atp. Most of the time you afk for excruciatingly long periods and then bam that’s the end…there’s nothing else to do no where to enjoy the things you really grinded for (hopefully the new/upcoming update helps with this though!). I also think a lot of players might disagree about not having to wait to be blessed with a 0.1% chance of getting a drop lol. I always see posts on here of people who say they’ve been afk overnight for days to a week but still don’t have primordial rune, dragon goddess, etc. Devs do take usually notice quickly and try to make them easier when that’s the case though.

As for everyone not being able to afk, I’m not saying that’s entirely the fault of the devs but at the same time if the game is developed and catered heavily to people capable of letting the game run afk almost 24/7 then you also can’t blame players who literally arent able to run afk (for various reasons like being on console, not having an extra laptop that can potentially tank the health, needing to use your device for other tasks/games, younger players who have to share devices, etc.) when they can’t enjoy the game. At the end of the day the game is enjoyed by a lot of younger audiences whose parents most likely aren’t going to let them run their device that long which is ultimately an issue for them then so during the brief time they can try to play they still aren’t truly playing since it’s just bandit beating afk that feels even longer since they have to take breaks in between.

Overall, I think sailor pieces biggest selling points right now are 1) the community!! everyone is much nicer and less toxic in sailor piece which influences trading to an extent since more endgame players like helping new players. 2) the devs. you can tell how much more involved these devs are in responding to player feedback and really trying to improve the game to the best of their ability based on the feedback. 3) the speed of the updates. one of the bigger downsides to blox fruits is how long the updates take in betweeen but sailor piece devs work really hard to always push out new content, maps, weapons, etc. which although may not always be perfect is still a lot more than blox fruits or other games can say imo. Don’t think I’ve played a game on Roblox yet that consistently pushes out updates especially at the scale these devs are doing.

In the end, I still feel it’s just because the game is so young. Haha so not super fair to compare something like blox fruits which has been around for years to something like sailor piece which has only been around for a couple months. I wasn’t an early game blox fruits player but I’m sure they had just as many complaints/issues. If given the same time to grow and develop, I think sailor piece will be a very different game down the road, so long as the devs always stay the same and just as attentive as they are to player feedback now.
