I've been playing for about three days now, and a couple of thoughts have crossed my minds. For your consideration:
* I know that Glitch is supposed to be a social game, but frankly I'm having a hard time balancing the chat activity and the gamescreen action. I mean: most of the time if you try to organize something through the chat, by the time you're all set up the world has already changed enough (people got offline, resources have been drained, etc.) to make the organizing completely useless. This is probably just me, but I'm finding this so annoying that I usually prefer playing alone... thus making the game quite pointless and boring, really.
* I don't like grinding. Who does, after all? So I'm seriously considering just leaving the game alone, methodically going through the skills tree while I'm offline (playing just enough to get the needed emblems to unlock particular skills), and only come back as an active player when I'll be a superskilled player, bypassing most of the grind. This sounds like a good balance between posponing playing for a couple of weeks and playing in a much less frustrating way.
* I am not going to build it (as it sounds like enormous work) but I am envisioning a Glitchy form of communism, with a huge number of very specialized roles working together to provide the community whatever a player needs to zoom through the quests/levels/skills.
Say you might have a dozen of "energy provider" building Pork Fountains, a small army of super miners to collect enough stuff to build/donate the hell out of the game, a group of growers working in tandem with cooks to create foods to be sold to vendors... If things were organized enough, every player could initially benefit from everyone's work, level up thanks to this help, then when he's good enough he would contribute with a couple of hours of his time, dedicating them to collect/create resources for more newbies to keep the process going.
I can see how each of these points go in the opposite way of a fun game... but seriously, am I the only one having these thoughts?
