I'm fine with working my way up, it's fun but we can't re-use watering bottles, staff costs tons of money and gets more expensive with time (why? makes no sense) and if you ever manage to make some money and get good reputation you get 3 or 4 people within 5 minutes who decide not to pay so you have to punch them and lose all your reputation and so on... just really didn’t see this coming when I started playing or I would not have racked up this many hours and returned it after an hour...”
