tldr
i've gone from being a force to be reckon with in pvp to just another nigger thanks to ad botting fires in mansions, curio system is a factor as to why once honest players now farm and mine bot
I am also trying to find a rare flower but have not found one yet. Hopefully I will find one prospectively. Until this will happen I will enjoy real flowers and order flowersbypost. Maybe then I will have better karma and will find the rare flower.
