I agree it lacks customization that would improve the experience but we were never promised much in the way of customization in the first place. We were told we'd be able to place buildings and change how they look. We can place buildings. We can change how they look (even if those options are boring).

Most of what was advertised actually was delivered. What wasn't delivered was the inflated expectations that players set for the Island despite YoshiP repeatedly asking players to lower them. We don't know if there will be further features added in the next update when it comes out or if we're just getting a new area that works the same way. Perhaps some of the little things that weren't delivered so far will be delivered then.
Very rewarding lol? Ah yes, I definitely feel awarded for the amount of timegates I had to jump through for a motorcycle mount.

This isn't a way to say that I don't like what we can buy the shop, btw, as I have a lot of it myself. But how rewarding is it really to just go to an island, gather for the umpteeth time, then leave. Or even when you finish let's reduce that - just talk to a couple of mammets, bam done. I didn't have expectations and I know YoshiP told us to keep it low, but honestly the content delivered was so unsubstational that I just wish the time developing the island went into their long-abandoned features instead.
