And some house owners, who wanted to do gardening before getting the house, might have found actual gardening too much of a chore.

You have to tend to the crops once or twice daily. The process itself involves clicking and selecting from menu, so after a couple times it start to feel tedious. (And I say that as ex-FarmVille player) Most crops take 5-7 days to mature, so after planting it’s 5-7 days of you performing this mundane tasks daily before you finally get to harvesting.

For those who cannot login daily, either by oneself or among a couple responsible friends, it’s an impossible task.

And if you don’t have botanist, then your only source of many of the seeds, to start cross-breeding, is the marketboard. As botanist I tend to send my botanist retainer to grab seeds instead of getting them myself, because the process of getting 4 hidden seeds felt not worth my time.

Last night, with a low grade fever and tired, I had to drag myself to start up my gaming pc and login just to make sure my curiel & royal kukuru plants won’t wilt. The seeds took too long to get and are too expensive (to me) to buy for them to go to waste. And I was wondering to myself if it’s really worth the effort.

It’s gotten to the point where I’d found gardening more like work than game, after just a couple months. Many of those who’s owned house for years probably just decided it’s not worth their time to do.
