as someone who played the original and have been anticipating this game since the original was first announced, i personally think it says a lot about you idle hating "everyone in the guild must be running content constantly or they're useless" sweatlords when you can see this beautifully crafted virtual world and you have no interest in exploring it and enjoying the scenery just content content content, doubly so if you have complained about how "anime" a fucking anime game is, get over yourself
i don't think i've seen any talk of enjoying the actual world/environments of the game in this thread outside of the selfies posted and the meetup
i have like 5.4k gear score rn so no i'm not a casual either
