I feel like the foraging changes ruined it for me honestly....

So for context, I primarily mine, I don't do it for profit, I do it for relaxation, I've tried to get into other parts of skyblock, dungeons, slayers, dragon's, and each one hasn't really dug into me like Mining has.

Queue the foraging update, and it was pretty fun! HOTF obviously felt a lot like HOTM, the upgrades felt natural, the gameplay wasn't bad, I settled into routine similar to how I would mine.

During the day, I'll hop on for 10 -15 minutes or so, hop off here and there. Prior to the patch, it would be log on, run around for 5-6 minutes to get Leg on the contest, maybe gather a few lumies, etc etc, eventually I was able to max my gear, max my unlocks, essence etc etc and bought my Jade dragon.

I set out to max my HOTF and thats when the changes happen and yeah, it went from a quick 10 minute session, to having to absolutely nail a ton of tree's to get Leg or better.

I get it, and I think it was needed but maaaaaan did it suck the fun out of it for me.

It was a long grind to max out my tree those last few levels...

I dunno, just a rant, bemoaning that what was enjoyable, no feels more like a grind then it did.
