I want people to love this game so I can continue to play it. Unchecked botting, a bogged down UI etc tells people that they should play something else. I'm not trying to start a fight. I'm just a player who is finding less and less of an incentive to craft and gather in this game every day and I think there are some very real and fixable reasons why. If you disagree and think things are just as they should be, so be it.
Does the economy really pull people into a game?
Im not asking to be a douche. I really want to know? I know we can't speak for everyone, but do you think many people are drawn in by the economy?
Do you think these people look for simplicity or a more in-depth, feature-rich, goal-oriented economy?
