Your “lived experience” is just anecdotes, which isn’t evidence. No, you said the “right way” was using the “tools and resources” the game provided, which is what AFKers are doing. I mean, does “not playing the game” get you rewards at a fairly fast rate? Oh it does? So obviously it’s playing the game to some extent. Completely not playing the game would be just turning it off. That’s a terrible metaphor, unless I’m uninformed about a new version of monopoly in which the pieces move themselves and better their positions/money over time. And how is it not clear to you that even by your standards that YOU provided, players are still technically playing the game the “right way”?
