Yeah, I mean if you have a group or friends that can pay and repay those flower critters, that is A+ but I think the amount you need for the higher and better things are a bit too much consider how short some have been, and yeah Rover was one of the worst. I mean they really need to something about catch rates and stuff. Not that Ninty is known for listening though lolol.

I was consistantly done with gardening events within 36 hours of them going live (except the Rover one), and that was with a good group of friends to share on the three flowers I kept out.
I think without leaving flowers out and receiving shares I could have still completed within the timeframe just from what I grew myself.
But that's the thing. That was down to my usage. I grew flowers 6 or 7 cycles a day (out of 8). During the Leif one I was setting alarms in the night so that I would be able to hit all 8 cycles during the night so I could complete the flower trades, including the massive flowers, which I hated anyway. But they were available so I had to get them. Plus I would check in every 10-30 minutes to clear my three flowers so more people could share to me. Then Id have to take the time to return the favour. It racks up.
I can only say with confidence I could have completed an event on my own because my usage was consistantly high. Anyone doing the event for even half a day, which some would consider high usage still, would still struggle and I can see why to them the capture rates feel unpheasible. I guess the expectation from Nintendo is not that the capture rates need "fixing" as it can be done, on your own even. But your usage has to be pretty much constant. Which most people arent prepared to do.
So, given the extremes I went to, maybe it makes more sense why I had to quit, even though I still got enjoyment out of it. I havnt been on all day. My feelings are best described as bittersweet: I feel like Ive lost something, but I also feel... free?

Got a break from TBT and my favorite friend from the game has finally decided to quit... I didn’t know it would happen that soon and I hope SierraSigma will read it eventually but I would like to say that it was a great pleasure to have such an amazing ACPC friend. Will miss you

I personally feel that the game is a good amount of animal crossing. Not too much that it really overtakes the need for New Leaf or a possible new game, but enough that it's fun enough to play during down times when you don't have your console. You obviously enjoy the game, so why don't you just play for fun and not worry about filling the entire catalog and inviting everyone. Just some that you like. After all that is one of the main points of ac.
i only played the game until a month after the release date. it just felt like another happy home designer to me.
it’s best to play new leaf, or wait until the next official title ac game releases. which i don’t know why nintendo keeps stalling.

Have a lovely day!
I was in a similar situation about two years ago in a completely different game (on PC). It was a pretty bad game tbh but at the time I loved it. Well, I thought I loved it. In truth, I was getting pretty tired of it. All of my favorite servers were gone, I had completed everything I wanted to complete, etc. The only thing keeping me there were the friends I had made -- and most of them were gone by that point. I wanted to leave and it took me nearly a year of trying to convince myself to stop to actually stop.
I played that game for nearly five years before actually getting off. I spent over $200 on it, and spent so much of my time that I'm never going to get back. I regret every moment I played of that game.
ACPC isn't as stupid as the game I played back then, but if i'ts cutting into important time/you're spending a lot of unnecessary cash on it, it's probably time you let it go.

Same here, lol. It's still on my phone but I haven't touched it in months. I didn't have time, nor did I find the appeal. Though I understand why people would like it (my sister and one of my friends plays it a lot), I didn't find it very fun.

I was the same, I never really got into it. I tried for quite awhile but it just wasn't something I enjoyed as much as playing the actual game.
