A lot of people approached this as something you grind hardcore and do exclusively or at least primarily.

Ain't it.

It's been a week, I expect to be rank 10 soon. I don't have any of the blue cowrie rewards cause I saved the chunks from challenges and completion for expansion.

Once I've fully expanded I expect to be able to slot my weeks plans (did you know you can save an entire workshop production daily queue as a preset?) in a couple minutes on monday night, set my gathering to stock up the rares and make sure my stock and currency covers all my automation. This shouldn't take more than an hour a week, potentially spread out over a couple days if necessary.

People who are "stuck" spent their cowries immediately to get rewards quickly. That was the tradeoff. I did not grind excessively, I didn't do anymore than visit and harvest crops and leavings for the last few days.

All in all this content is supposed to be side stuff for a WHILE.. and we're on week 2 with people grousing about how slow it is because they're not capped yet.

.. they barely hyped it. People had theories and went wild but the devs themselves have been bending over backwards trying to temper expectations... yet here you are still.
