This red scrip system doesn't seem very casual-friendly..

[Aeyis]

2 times per hour, if you gather 6 nodes per hour you are done in 4 hours? makes it even more casual friendly

whats the deal about doing rl things (isnt that casual?), go to your pc for less than 1 minute once your phone rings, go back to rl business

it takes nearly zero time and zero effort to reach 450 red scribs
you dont even have to play the game to achieve that, just afk on one spot, no travel times or anything involved. Just that 1 minute of minor attention during one hour

There seems to be some confusing to how unspoiled nodes work.

-In order to actually mine a node you need full (600, 700 in the case of folklore) GP. You also need to travel to the nodes which takes time.
-You also need to actually have the time to gather from a node, as due to GP regeneration and travel times you lose additional time that you cannot craft, or do anything else in the game that is not related to gathering.

It took me quite a few hours yesterday (and this morning) to cap red scrips.


You mention afking at a spot, but that only works if your a) around to afk there, while b) for some reason you have the game open but are not actually playing it; as if you were playing it you wouldnt be able to afk for no reason.
And finally c) it would also reduce your rate of scrips to a measly 32-48 per hour, which means you it would take you 10 to 15 hours of pure afking each week.

Im sorry, how exactly is this casual friendly? Do casuals have the time to go afk for 10 hours per week?
