Unpopular opinion on island sanctuarys.

Water Otter Fountain parts. You exchange them for a permit which lets you build a fountain. They are apparently pretty awful to craft. The fountain itself is pretty big. Much bigger than I was expecting, but it's nice.

I would trade this fountain for the ability to at least get 2 items per click instead of just 1 -.-"

It is dead end content with no real meaning or progression or lasting impacts on the game.

Not all content in any game is for everyone, count this content as not for you and move on.

I didn't think I would enjoy Island Sanctuary. I put it off for 4-5 days to capitalize on crafting profits from the new gear. I also spent two days making lots of Water Otter Fountain Parts and selling them in PF before I even knew what it looked like. My wife was working on her sanctuary and it seemed like Animal Crossing mixed with Stardew Valley or something. Neither of those things are for me. It could be because I went into it with low expectations that I found myself thoroughly enjoying my time there. The gathering was reasonable - it wasn't like what you need to make Mansion Walls in the FC craft area. It was a fun diversion for me and I didn't think it would have been.

Of course, my island is in maintenance mode now. It takes about 20-30 min/week to pop in and pickup crop yields, pickup animal leavings and feed them, pickup granary items and setup the workshop. I'm almost sad that's all that is left. But, when it first came out I scoffed "I'll never bother with this crap - I don't care about the mounts!" So, I was pleasantly surprised that I did it

Just think of all the time and resources that went into making this.

Instead of instanced housing.

the homeless will always be huffing the copium

eh, having heard people say they've had the same home since release, implying that they've had to be subbed the ENTIRE time this game has been released puts it into perspective for me. There's just not enough to keep me subbed for that long, especially a half-baked housing system.

I have FC + private home and I tell you I cant agree or like our comment enough.
They had a perfect opportunity and wasted it completely lol (not surprised though.)

You are 100000000% correct

But if I want the glamour and/or the hairstyles I have to do it because they are all untradeable unlike Ishgardian Restoration's rewards which were all tradeable.

Ironically Ishgard Restoration had more things to do on its debut than Island Sanctuary does. And if you got all the minions, glamour and mounts from Ishgard Restoration it was still useful because you could level your gatherers and crafters with it.

The stuff like crafting feels like it was made artificially harder this patch as well. Call me the tin foil hat guy but I feel like it was done to push the sanctuary islands.
