Provide a warning about garden crops dying during extended server downtime

You'd still need to tend to them to advance growth. I'm not saying plant them and then come back 10 days later without touching them to fully grown pluckable plants.

That's basically giving the plant for free. One of the core things about gardening is the fact that you have to maintain the garden to make sure plants stay alive. Take that away and gardening basically becomes a really long retainer venture. You really want that?

I get my enjoyment from gardening out of crossing and growing, not being held hostage to daily watering routines. If I miss watering a day, it would still require me to water it to start up the timer again, making me wait longer to get the crops.

You're greatly exaggerating the level of responsibility plants require.

In what way? I said daily and that's how often you have to tend to them to keep up with it. It doesn't take long but it does require you to login every single day.

Cause we all know that such a hard task isn't?

Not at all. I didn't say it was hard, I didn't say it took a bunch of time, just that it requires daily login. I'm not sure the tone you're reading my posts it, but I'm not trying to be condescending or make this out to be the end of the world. It'd just be nicer to not have to worry about having to log into the game every single day to deal with the plants, even if that means the grow time extends a bit without having to start over because they died.

plants don't just stop growing withering and dying on real life just because your not home...

In real life if someone dies, you can't wave a feather over someone to bring them back.

Most players tend to log on at least once a day. It's not really outside the realms of reasonableness to have to water your plants once a day, especially when you consider how quickly it's done. Anyway you could get a tenant or fc mate to water them for you. It's not like only you have the ability to water them. Well as long as it's not a pot in a fc room or apartment. SE should really let other people water those. It would let people do more favours!
