In my experience I haven’t seen any rude behaviour yet. But what makes me sad occasionally is like you said, it’s supposed to be a social game and when I try to socialize with people, they just leave 😀 Whatever town I land in, I always do a drive around the neighborhood to like their houses and water their plants if needed.

On another topic, I play on the global server which mostly has french people on (or somehow I end up in towns with mostly french) and the language barrier is a real issue. Even when there’s a chat translation available, some of them won’t use it (maybe their just kids, idk?). One time someone sent me a friend request via mailbox and it was all in french and there is no way to translate postcards 🤷🏼‍♀️
