I recently finished all current available quests in this game. Without the mundane "click on 600 neighbor cows" or "Plant a absurd number of crops" or "Collect (and lose) a dim number of near impossible to find items" or "Beg your Facebook friends for hammers, nails, spitballs, ink wells, pillows, welcome mats, chicken coop eggs, apricot oils, apple pies, horse poop and the such until they are sick of you and delete you, this game becomes Farmville. Despite my sarcastic, I actually enjoyed the ludicrously tough quests that tested my strategic skills, and social networking know-how. However, while you have no more "quests" left, all you are left with is, farming. Sounds a lot like Farmville. Since having no further quests to complete I have been reduced to, you guessed it, farming. Planting crops to harvest the next day for XP and coin. Before you all rail against me and say, "But this is Beta, and they will design more absurd quests for you to get obsessed with." Let me point out my main complaint with this game. The tag line of this game that they show every time we log on is build a thriving frontier town! So I built the buildings Zynga demanded. I build, but I don't feel like I have a town! (As an aside, one of the quest trees this game has costs the player one million six hundred thousand coins to "Found a Town", and not anything other than an XP and horse shoe reward happens!) My question is where is my town? I am the only resident of my "town". There are no other citizens other than my friends. I have a hundred "neighbors" but they have their own "empty" towns. When will my town be "thriving" like they said, with many citizens? The bottom line is, if this is Farmville with "quests" to keep us clicking, why did they promise us a "Thriving Town"? This needs to be Sims-Frontier. Not Farmville with demands. Please reply with your thoughts.
