Yeah, why weren't these nerfed?

You nerfed digging but atleast that wasn't destructive as chopping down all the forests in the world.

It really doesn't matter what you nerf. They'll always find a way around it.

Dream catchers and looms also seem to be common grinding... These things should all have heavy stamina drain or something so people can't just grind them, but we also need the game to be more playable in early stages without grinding.

What a horrible ideology you possess. The whole point should be so there's no reason to find away around anything. The tasks in-game that actually matter are what should be the good LP sources. Farming, building, cooking, hunting, mining. The list goes on.

Chopping 1000 fucking trees for hours should NOT be the best source of LP. The person that puts forth the dedication, effort and time needed to improve their village, or their own home are the ones who should be getting the LP. Not the people who clearcut forests or spend hours digging just to murder their neighbour and steal their hard work.

Right. But you said it yourself. It's mostly about the people using a Macro. You can nerf it to whatever they see fit for a NORMAL person to achieve. But if you're concerning Macros, good luck NOT finding a way around them.

While I agree with you, I am also convinced that there will always be idiots who think that mindless grinding is going to get them ahead, even if there are better ways. I have suggested that repeating the same action eventually stop giving lp but I also like Sabinati's idea.

It is worth saying that I have killed a few characters from people who thought that mindless grinding would give them an advantage.

I hate to grind, but i had to do it a few times, no other way to gain lp. The start of the game was really hard, i was just waiting to get more lp so i could do something. I atleast grinded by making log cabins in random places, people can use those. But productive task should give more lp.
Or maybe im missing the point and waisted 3 days doing unproductive work.
