I’m pretty much the opposite when it comes to purchasing. I only purchase forged tools and I only sell things that are processed or the sap that is a byproduct of my logging. Though if they changed forging to be engaging instead of an RNG flowchart I would probably go back to forging for myself. I just end up taking a few days break every time I have to do a lot of crafting while waiting for crafting queues to cycle through. Nothing kills my building buzz like running out of materials every 5 minutes waiting for crafting queues.
I see purchasing building materials as a rich persons game or for those who have lots of play time.
It takes considerably less time to gather the materials to make my own building materials than it does to farm out the coin to purchase it from all of the shops. Then you add in the fact that you get plots faster than you can build on them with how ridiculous the crafting xp gets and it seems silly to even consider the economy. You just have to change your plans from weeks to months/years if you can’t play a large amount every day…which is probably one of the reasons why this game has a problem keeping casual players because they can’t really accomplish much in their play time.
Here’s what I want:
Well said and 100% agreed.
Ah, now you’re hitting a real target.
Nothing to do with “idle crafting times” at all, then.
I’ve literally been selling 300% profits and giving away coins because I can’t be bothered to click a queue thousands of times and cart hundreds of batches of stuff between machines when minting the raw stuff is micro-profits lol.
Ironically most of the people I see post about buying common materials are people saying they need more coins to be able to build due to limited playtime.

I can never imagine the devs ever being happy about losing anybody if it can be helped, but especially not someone like @DKPuncherello, who does so much for the community. Not even sure where to start, but he even convinced me to finally join a mall!
It is true they need to monetize, but in Boundless, IMO people working to make the community an active and welcoming place for everybody is just as important a contribution as being a big spender, and DK is an incredible contributor to making Boundless what it is.
I kinda can relate on thing where you get an idea and then see what it takes mats wise… then you have alrdy scrapped the whole thing when you realise that its gonna take 2days on crafting times alone to do make those… not even taljing about farming the stuff first wich would take around a week
Yes, but there is an element to it that you all keep forgetting, the reward at the end, the feel you done something rly big…
I flagged it… just let you know.
While you disagree with @Dhusk you can do that respectively…
This aint some YOLO minecraft forum.
If you read a bit up i was in 99% of time so polite even tho he was sayin sum fd up things… but i just cant listen to him attacking people… HE moved the subject to that not anyone else…
you know i am polite, but i dont wanna let anyone screw around with me and be so rude regardless the fact i was totally polite about it and tried to help, but whatever… i guess people cant take truth about themselves…
If you find his replies offensive you can always flag them lol.
I know, but better leave them out there so people see what kind of person he is…
Sorry but why is this flagged?
Nope you may feel rewarded spending hours or weeks gathering and crafting materials so you can build for an hour but do not assume everyone gets a feeling of satisfaction for the same things. This is the same logic that would argue a pile of hard to craft blocks is better than a build using natural materials in an interesting and artistic way. It depends on the individual and what they value.
cant argue with that, you have a point but those arguments are same for him too…
BUT, there is a big but to it (no pun intended) his arguments about crafting time are non existing except the fact he doesnt like them… but i dont wanna develop this into more since i realised people wont listen out…
Sorry if i offended anyone i didnt mean to, but i stand behind most of my words
Personally I agree with the OP all crafting times do for me is get me to play other games. I am not going to wait for even a hour while items process. Not when I have limited playing time. But apparently we are in the minority of the remaining players still willing to play the game. But as I have said in the past, are the opinions of the few remaining players really all that valid? If the player retention rate on pc is less than 10% maybe not.
Thirded, that’s paying for a huge advantage over everyone else.
To quote my current generation @ the aggressive tone this has taken, with complete refusal to even consider anyone else’s points than your own;
“OK boomer”
Ok and i respect that and i would like to have a discussion about it to try to explain it to you that an MMO game with all its features needs this aspect otherwise few other aspects would be lost…
