I'm bored, , so wanted to comment..
Most of my team has started to become inactive, maybe it was oras, maybe it's the busy season, but for the most part everyone I seem to talk to is getting tired of the grind. is it jus me or is EVing training jus really grueling. Seems more like work and isn't considered fun. killing hundreds of tangelas for hours isn't my idea of a game, (all my EV guys quit too), we could use a EVing x4 item, instead of macho.
I know gms and cms are doing a good job with official events, that helps. I'm surprised how much of the community don't even know about or use the fourms. I personally suck at setting an alarm to register the second a tourny even is open. Tournys seem to be so serious and competitive it kinda sucked the fun out of it for me.
I noticed mmo sucks hours out of my day when I should be doing somethin more productive. Almost to 3000hrs. I guess that's on me to cut back on playing. Grinding jus isn't healthy for our IRL, nor is it fun.
It's becoming more difficult to spam trade to make $, since no one has a lot to spend. The economy is somewhat stressful, I have friends that have under 50k with no breeders, uts, etc and it's very difficult for them to afford to make money. Paydaying jus doesn't do it. Needs to be a better way to farm $. (I personally like the idea of rewards for quest, or other form of mini games, variant Trainer Tower rewards)
I bred over 1000 eggs over the past few months and filled up about 4 alt PC boxes. Breeds are good iv, not good enough to sell or godly enough to use, not bad enough to release. (Pls more box space).
The only main reason people are still playing is for the community, although I've seen about 8-10 friends stop playing in the last 2 months.
I'm pretty hopeful the release of honen will bring back many players. Although that does mean more breeding/grinding, which still needs to be addressed.
lol sorry I'm at my gmas house and I'm bored out of my mind
