I get that its supposed to be "hard", the hard part is typically getting a couple of each rando curiosity.
But right now the world is at the stage where i'm pretty much only logging in to continue with credo progress or feed animals and do the occasional dungeon or troll. Getting a quest like "Study a plush bat x8", a 10 day study quest basically just guarantees i'm not going to open the game more than twice in the next 10 days. even if I use contemplation on each one, thats still 5 days.
Credo progressing is one of the good things that can help keep people engaged, although in pevious worlds i typically would abandon anything longer than 4 days, idk, maybe its just me but I think there should be a limit to what it asks for, especially when you get a quest like this and abandoning it sometimes means you're losing 3-4 days progress. Its kind of shit.
