Farming is intensely unfair to real people

If we remove ql we won't have this problem anymore.

The problem is that if you are a casual player and can only replant your crops once a day or two. You will not get close to the quality gain of somebody who has a bot that can replant his crops once every hour and pick out the best ql.

casual player, you should have no easy option to be close to someone who isnt casual unless you are part of big village of casuals. your argument is invalid.

That's not a very inwardly consistent argument.
If I decided to be a casual hermit today, my flax bot would keep my flax higher than any large village that doesn't use a flax bot, irrespective of how many active farmers they have. Human hours spent, or the number of people contributing is pretty irrelevant.

Technically, it's the "number of iterations performed" regardless of who/what is doing the work.

And yeah, hermits can keep up with the large villages. It's just a lot of work for one person.

i thought the way to farm for quality was to plant a row like 10-20 plants every 30m-2hours and preferably at different bases

casual is not using bot, because playing casually means you basically accept and agree to be behind and dont push it.
it is relevant. 2 farmers will do the job quicker than one person. the more people you can send to do one job, the faster each person will finish thus expanding each person time by splitting up the task. instead of losing 2 hours for planting and replanting i lose only 30 minutes or less if few people are helping in this task. which gives me 90 minutes to do anything else, them as well, instead of doing thing separately so in conclusion, if i cant replant, somebody else can replant and i will replant when they cant replant so you dont need bot with cooperation.

The flaw in that argument is that a bot not only gives you the full time you would need to spend on a task, regardless of being in front of your PC or not, it even removes the need to interact with that paar of the game completely (in case it's smart enough to start itself, which most likely are by now).

Why there is quality in game at this stage? Instead having boring infinite progression we could have resource tiers. Like in different MMO RPGs, ie. to craft better stuff you need a lot of worse stuff and also loot from stronger enemies. Theme park style is better for making players play longer, because now nothing happens in game, only numbers raise. And there is no siege

Welp, time to go stand alone private servers snd all these issues are solve.
