And that is why the using of pet food has an alternative.The using of pet food is not a good choice for a quest. The using of 2x pet food is a doubly bad choice. Pet food are scarce! And I do have cities where it is impossible to fight and win in Encounters.
Now, as to the militantly non-militant players... I'm not sure what to say...
I can see the necessity of providing alternatives for situations where you are forced into a impossible task (End Game players with no researches left, new players who don't have Pets), but situations where the block is your decision.... can you not sometimes have consequences to your decisions?
I prefer only making 3-hour productions during the day, and a 9-hour production overnight. Can I complain that I don't want to make beverages?
I've currently maxed the upgrades on all my existing buildings. Can I complain that I don't want to build a temp building to upgrade to Level 5?
I don't want to play the spire or disenchant items in my inventory. Can I complain that I don't want to make Spell Fragments?
I don't want to craft. Can I complain that I don't want to get Combining Catalyst spells?
Many of the acts asked for to progress in the Events are sub-optimal for non-Event activity. No pain, no gain. Price for doing business.
