#### What game activities do you most LIKE and DISLIKE? Why?

LIKE: mining
Why? can multitask with chat etc. easily
DISLIKE: gardening
Why? too nitpickety, if multitasking must constantly reselect plot
***Keep it brief if you can. I'm curious to see if there's a pattern and how my own preferences fit***

- LIKE: squeezing chickens.
  Why? Low energy cost, funny noise, good return on music blocks with high AK, grain useful for many things.
  DISLIKE: feeding crops to pigs for seeds.
  WHY: too many clicks, high chance of major error (feeding all).

- Like: Animalizing :)
  Why? Low energy cost, lots of music blocks, faster making meat than mining sparkly ;)
  Dislike: Feeding batterflies.
  Why? It's so tedious xD I'm willing to just buy the guano with that drudgery.

- Love growing herbs and shucking them.
  Really don't like feeding piggies for seeds.

- The risk of over-feeding piggies for plops. I have ignored my garden for two weeks just to avoid it.
  The other one is more about my own personal impatience: Waiting for the teleport cooldown!
  Favorite: Cooking! Oh, and teleporting

- Like: Harvesting/collecting Bog products.
  Why? In a couple of hours or less I can harvest/collect everything in the Bogs and sell it all for a nice wad of cash. This uses less energy than mining and pays well. I do it almost daily. My main income.
  Dislike: Herb gardening.
  Why?: I have no Bog house so I borrow gardens and get bored to tears waiting for the herbs to ripen so I can plant more and get even more bored and then plant more... Making essences and potions uses resources quickly. Herbalizing is the most tiresome, boring, unprofitable thing I do (I don't sell them).

- Dislike: Planting/tending/watering/harvesting my garden with Butterflies getting in the way.
  Like: Petting/Nibbling Piggies
  Why? Great xp, mood and meat.

- I must be odd. I enjoy feeding crops to the piggies for seeds. It's soothing. I once fed a full stack of each crop (78 of each to be precise) just to fill up the seeds. You would not believe the mess in the back yard!
  I don't do the things I dislike so there's nothing to dislike. :-D

  Dislike: Feeding piggies (whether to get meat or seeds)

- Like: gardening :) I find it relaxing in my own garden.
  Dislike:...crowns..too bloody hectic for me. My heart starts racing like you wouldn't believe lol

- Like: Nibbling/Mining
  Why: Good currants/donations in both
  Dislike: Feeding piggies for seeds
  Why: Take so much time! Rather just buy from a vendor. I would be really cool if the piggies could plop out seeds based on how many you fed them. 6=2, 9=3 ect...

- @Gardening, you can hit enter, and use the arrow key to navigate around plots without using your mouse. Doesn't make it faster tho :)

- Like: (a) mining, nibbling, collecting in the bogs, and (b) using any of the machines- blockmaker, fuelmaker, and stills.
  Why: (a) for reasons previously stated, and (b) because using the machines makes me feel like I'm interacting with my environment, rather than with things overlaid on my environment, for some reason.
  Dislike: Cooking.
  Why: It's incredibly boring to me. And since I'm no mathematician, I'd rather just buy or trade for food rather than sketch out a diagram of what my best return on energy from cooking is, or spend half the day gathering materials to make three pieces of food.

- like: GOC (irl skill required, social activity, friendly competition) grave art (creative, tiny bit of stakes involved... you could die in the wrong position messing up the art :P)
  dislike: mining (stuck watching a progress bar and can't even sort my inventory) harvesting, petting, squeezing (repetitive, mindless selecting and clicking...)
  dislike with a passion: gardening (the tediousness of waiting for that slow ass hoe and watering can over and over again could drive someone insane) and anything that makes you do things one by one like making no-no powder or tools. (why only one at a time?!)
  when i was a young glitch those activities didn't bother me but now i find them more and more tedious.

- Like: Petting, squeezing, watering, harvesting, nibbling, mining, shucking, smelting, cooking. All of these feel really rewarding and pretty much never get boring for me. (I love quests, too, especially ones like the DNAja Vu and the Faded Heart that cause you to explore all the wonderful places of Ur!)
  Mostly-Like: Gardening -- I enjoy it in a lot of ways, but I wish there was a way to reduce the number of necessary clicks to clear/plant/water a patch and move on to the next one.
  Meh: Alchemy (I love it in theory, but all the grinding and collecting elements to make compounds to make powders winds up being tedious and time-consuming in a way that collecting ingredients for food isn't.) The jury is still out on Potionmaking.
  Dislike: Feeding pigs and batterflies -- I'd be happy if I could feed a pig 30 crops and get 10 seeds, but the one-at-a-time thing is tiresome and painful. At least batterflies will give up to 3 guano! (I prefer feeding batterflies to pigs for that reason.)
  Also, the AAAHHHH GOTTA CLICK FAST issue when you drink a Flaming Humbaba and need to start grinding and select what/how much you're going to grind -- I have hand problems and I'm not a fan of anything that needs a twitch-reflex level of speed to get maximal results. (This is also why I don't play Game of Crowns!)
  I'm still deciding how I feel about Blockmaking/Fuelmaking -- right now, it's tedious as hell to get any number of blocks/fuel cells, and there isn't an obvious immediate in-game use that justifies that level of resources/time . . . but I do feel like it may be coming with the upcoming changes to the game, so I'm not writing them off as a Dislike. I'd just like to be able to make more blocks/fuel cells with each deposit into the machine. (Oh, and personal preference -- can blocks be made stackable in larger numbers?? I've stopped making them, because they're huge and take up a ton of room in my house, but I didn't want to keep spending money on bags to store them in.)
  With all this said, I love the game and am very excited to see what's coming soon!

- like: cooking
  why: so many fun things to make and then you can give them away or sell it for good prices
  like: collecting cubis
  why: it's fun and now that I've hit level 30 and worked through most of the available content it gives me something to do other than badges.
  dislike: mining
  why: it's good currants but too grindy.
  Posted 10 months ago by Fern Connelly | Permalink
- Like: Mining/Squeezing/Harvesting/AL
  Why: I like roaming around and interacting with the world. Sometimes I end up in a really good conversation or making a new friend along the way. (Taunting JuJus can be fun too.)
  Dislike: 1) Feeding for Pig Plops/Guano 2) Rube
  Why: 1) Many tedious clicks and chasing for very little gain. I'd rather buy seed or find guano on the ground. 2) Rube.. Rube.. what happened? You used to be cool. It's sad to watch you try to trade me a bean for one of my Girly Drinks.

- Like: cooking and Ajaya Bliss
  Why: Cooking is cooking. I give stuff to other people and can feel good about it. It's fun to mine in Ajaya Bliss and talk to other Glitchen.
  Dislike: Accidentally poisoning trees
  I had my first experience with this today. Not pleasant.
  Posted 10 months ago by SeerQueen | Permalink
- I love it all...mining, animalizing, doing stuff, making stuff, everything in my house that needs tending
  I don't really care for the rushing when drinking a flaming humbaba and rushing to grind. By the time I start grinding, my humba-bibe is 20% gone.
  But, I just keep them right next to the grinder and remember how many of each item I can grind before the beverage wears off, like 200 sparkly per humbaba
  I don't dislike this but I sometimes get a touch annoyed when I squeeze a chicken one too many times and try to rename it. I don't want to rename it, but I can't just walk away, I have to click the red X to close the rename screen.
  Edit: I forgot to add anything that makes me rush. Like Cassarat, I am not fond of crowns, too fast paced and competitive for me. I am not fond of the quests that expect me to gather or do stuff in some kind of rushed time limit. I don't mind the "three items in one day" types, just not the "five billion in 30second types", like rainbow run.

- LIKE: Crystalmalizing a firefly jar under a firefly swarm.
  WHY: I like watching the firefly swarm panic and try to flee from their future fate.
  DISLIKE: Making Green Eggs.
  WHY: I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere.

- I am fickle. I change my mind about my favorite thing...but this week, its
  LIKE: Chickens.
  WHY: Squeeze squeeze clickclickclick RUNNNNN! And my kids yelling "SAY KFC TO THEM MOM!" The chicks though... Totally weirdo creepy. So weird, I have 103 in my back garden.
  LIKE: Gardening for onions
  WHY: Onions are cool
  The dislike is always the same:
  DISLIKE: Mining.
  WHY: Slow, slow, boring, can't do ANYTHING with inventory while that blasted pick swings, yet its a necessary evil in the game-- if you don't mine, you can't do a zillion other things...gah..its making my eye twitch just thinking about it. Mining is like punishment. I save it up to do once a week when I am desperate for fertilidust or EHSP...

- Dislike: Mining, squeezing chooks because it's boring, repetitive and takes too long, and the chickens never stay put.
  Like: Cooking, seasoning beans and being a gypsy. Fun, lots of XP and great scenery!
  Posted 10 months ago by natsumi | Permalink
- Likes: Gathering Guano! I never, never, never FEED the batflys! Roaming all the underground caves/caverns, my eyes are shrinking...I think.
  Dislikes: Anything that is repetitive. Unless, I can get in a good rhythm, and not need to switch back and forth from key controls to mouse pointer, then it's a little okay harvesting an area. But, butterflies, piggies, chickens....ALL get in the way!
  So, in a nutshell...Poop makes me happy!

- Like: Scooping jellisacs. Looking at a fully formed jellisac is like looking at a sleeping kitten.....it's so calming.
  Dislike: Feeding pigs for seeds. I also wish the number of seeds dropped depended on how much you fed them.
  Posted 10 months ago by Grumple | Permalink
- LIKE: All the nice Glitches in Global chat, petting and nibbling piggies, harvesting trees, assembling and dissassembling fuelmakers/blockmakers, dancing with the maintenance bot, gardening, cooking, blending, cocktail crafting and helping other Glitches.
  DISLIKE: Making some stuff that takes forever (like White Gas and Hard Bubbles, among other things), mean Glitches, certain conversations in Global, spammers, feeding pigs for seeds, and getting splanked for no reason.
  Would LIKE to Like, but currently don't: Races and Game of Crowns because I can't jump to save my life, and yes, I am in the coopertive Game of Growns group, haven't yet done a thing in there. I'd like to try and have fun in GoC sometime, but I just can't time my jumps right, same with races.
  Posted 10 months ago by Ayasta | Permalink
- @Grumple It's nice to see someone else who appreciates the joys of the jellisac <3
  Posted 10 months ago by Ashbet | Permalink
- Like: global chat! Also really enjoy seasoning and auctioning eggs, sorting out overcrowded animals, and I love rook attacks for the team/community spirit.
  Dislike: looking through bags for stuff, rearranging bags, wondering why all my bags are full, having to go home to dump crap in the yard to make room in bags.....you get the idea. :)

- Like: teleporting, and levitating, and socializing
  dislike: levelling, and not being able to keep quests from reopening if I'm purposely dodging them. Makes it harder to find the quests I do want in my list.

- Like: all of the cool noises (jellisacs are a perfect example)
  Petting piggies because they are sooooo cute when they are happy
  Baby animals
  Just wandering around Ur enjoying the scenery. I do not tire of it.
  Dislike: mining. Just abut the most boring thing imaginable.
  Super harvests. I know I should like them, but they break my rhythm.

- Like: All animal things for food.
  Dislike: Feeding pigs. The longest ( I have 28 crop plots so have to get a lot of seeds) and sometimes most annoying (Feeding 400 potatoes to the pig) activity.

  Posted 10 months ago by Fern Connelly | Permalink
- Like: Incubating eggs - if I go to a street with 10-12 chickens, I walk all the way down from one end to the other, giving them eggs to incubate. At the end, I turn around and go back to the beginning and walk down collecting baby animals! It's fun for some reason.
  And I like mining.
  Dislike: Gardening (except harvesting)

  Dislike: That I am unaware of how to change your name. Enlighten me.

- I also hate gardening, piggys, and vendor only items.
  Posted 10 months ago by AwesomeCardinal2000 | Permalink
- Crap, using B doesn't let use material in your inventory, but you can still navigate through it when mining.
