I like this, a lot
Normalizing bots and building them into the game itself would take care of the remedial tasks that drive me fucking insane would probably make me play longer.
Fuck make these bots for subscription or verified accounts, capitalize niggaz.

Should probably look at curios and exp in general. Exp comes naturally early world, when youre doing a variety of things to develop. But in maintenance, I find getting EXP a task, thats totally unfun and a nuisance and I have honestly just stopped trying. Why play if the only thing Im doing is stressing about farming, crafting curios, and then going highly out of my way to get Experience points to study said curios.
I do not have the luxury of bots, so doing the farm can literally take hours upon hours, especially with pumpkins with the realm buff.
Devs need to look at what makes this game successful in the beginning and mid term, and work on prolonging this type of experience. After you've settled and youre just bumping quality on a world that probably wont last more than 6-12 months, it all seems redundant.
