  • when the economy is just filled with candles, finding your purpose (candles), running around, spirits, a lot of cutscenes, more candles, and really expensive items
    (the cutscenes were an exaggeration I’m just fed up with seeing them now)

    So many new events not enough candles. Constant grinding for more candles. As a sky veteran I find this dizzying and kinda lonely. I feel bad for todays moths.

      FRRR!! I started 2 months ago and I remember being so frustrated seeing all these cool shiny cosmetics in my face but I have so little candles. Nowadays, I've kinda learned how to candle run and to just pace myself, only saving for the cosmetics I REALLY want. Still, the few days after I first completed Eden was rough.

      I have feeling moths nowadays have trouble getting elder hair since that would mean they would have to prioritize the standard constellation for the traveling spirits and events

      The grind is exhausting and i hit a brief burnout from it 😒 was doing a CR to Gray every day for a while, had 1200 candles, took a break from cr but logged in for the dailies for the season then logged back off, and I have yet to find the motivation to do a proper cr again. I'm now at about 100 candles and cannot find it in me 😢

These events are hell, and there's no resting time to recover and farm back your candles. Nonstop grind. I don't know what tgc expects to achieve with the game being what it is today, but i imagine this can't last much longer. People are only hanging on because of their ingame friends.

    Started playing in the middle of season of revival. During that time the Halloween event was going on and Christmas at the same time. I couldn’t effort to buy every cosmetic I wanted from the shop so I only went with the bat cape and witch hat hair (my goal was set to be an ikemen). I remember when I saw the item candle prices from the Christmas event as a moth, I was going like: 🙂😐😕😟
    40 CANDLES FOR A SCARF??? 70 FOR A CAPE??!?
    I got burned out even from looking at it. 😂

    As someone who's played since Light-seekers it's really disheartening to see just how bloated the candle prices have gotten. I don't have the time to candle run anymore and yet I remember when 30 candles was considered expensive. I don't like that Sky economy has reflected the US economy in price raises :( It's becoming harder and harder to recommend the game to my friends because while it is gorgeous they will inevitably want to look into the long term content of the game, and I don't know how to tell them that its literally doing the same thing every single day to get one cosmetic after maybe a week.
    Aside from the economy and stuff, I like how much more love they've put into the aviary and improving the introduction, but it feels as if TGC's focus is now on cosmetics, money making, player retention etc. and not quality of content (the stupid Forest Door bug has existed since launch, btw, for any new people reading this).

    I joined Sky during the season of Trials and played consistently for years. I have stopped playing completely since this year. The number of events is staggering and emotionally exhausting. Games should not demand this much currency (both in game and irl) and time. I still love this game so much, i made some really wonderful friends, loved every moment of exploring this gorgeous world. But after a while, it'll inevitably become repetitive to the extent that even the most dedicated veterans can't sustain interest. Add on to that the demanding aspects of this game that has only been increasing (and fixing the helpful bugs that actually created a sense of community while ignoring the actually frustrating ones)
    I don't want to leave this game, and i dont think i ever will, truly. But it's a testament of losing interest fast and alarmingly, that i haven't had any interest in any season that came out this year and a better part of the last. If you're busy selling your soul to grind, you will hardly have time to actually specialise and explore properly. Truly sad imo
