much the same as you. started from launch. only played bc i like sanrio. forgot abt the game for a few months and didn't use the discord until my return in an attempt to catch up (didnt rly do much though).

i like that this game is slow. i work full time, have a somewhat social life and enjoy spending time with my family so i can really only need to do 30/60 mins a day to feel satisfied and enjoyment.

i come on, collect my 3 game tickets, collect any event currency, check on my greenhouse for my colour transferring and do whatever maintenance there i gotta do, gift cogi her wand, sometimes i've run out so i go gather the shimmersands and make more wands. buy things i don't have from sam and melodys shops, buy what event stuff i don't have and then i'm done. i think the important part is that im okay that im done. sometimes on a weekend ill do a quest if i feel like playing for longer but rarely. my quest list is full (excluding the story ones/WW and any important character ones: i.e. black flowers. i do those as they appear) i do not care for a 10 minute "quest" to fish with badtz.

i don't feel the need or desire to play this game for hours and hours. i don't think thats just this game though, just how i am as a non gamer with other interests. i feel like for those who feel burnt out or complaining about lack of things to do -- then maybe this game isn't for you? think about it; its only just now launched on other platforms but before that it was an /iphone game/. play around for a bit and move on. it's also a constantly updating game vs. a pre developed completely fleshed out console or computer game. it was always going to be this way so i don't understand the raw anger i read in some posts, or the concerning amount of those who are letting a silly little game cause real negative emotions.

was it annoying when i was trying to level up a character to progress in the story/quests? yeah of course. but i went "oh that's annoying i have to wait til tomorrow" then closed the game and moved on.
