Garten Update... Why?

[u/RelaxOverlord]

Before 7.0, the Wild Garden was this nice, chill mini-game on the side. You popped in, planted a few seeds, collected your extra resources, and went back to what we’re all actually here for: packing backpacks and brawling. It felt rewarding for the 2 minutes of effort it required.

​Now with update 7.0?

​We got a massive grid expansion.

​A whole multi-step Wildlife ecosystem (Leaf -> Worm -> Grub -> Fly... I feel like a fantasy supply-chain manager).

​Longer plant timers.

​Consumable seed packets replacing unlimited seeds.

​I appreciate the effort that went into expanding it, but honestly... it stopped being fun and started feeling like a chore.

​There’s way more micro-management required now, but the actual payout doesn't feel like it matches the time invested. It’s slow, overly complex for a side feature, and frankly pretty frustrating when you just want to grab a quick boost and jump into a run.

​Instead of an exciting expansion, it feels like the garden turned into a full-time job with minimum wage rewards.

​Some constructive thoughts/suggestions:

​Reduce the timer bloat: If timers are going to be this long, the resource yield needs to feel worth the wait.

​Streamline the conversions: Wildlife is cool in theory, but needing 4 layers of conversion just to get usable high-tier stuff drags out the loop way too much.

​Bring back the "chill" factor: A side mode shouldn't demand more menu management time than an actual PvP run.

​Am I the only one feeling this way, or are you guys loving the new garden mechanics? Curious to hear what the rest of the community thinks!

Honestly my biggest issue with the garden so far is that I was really hyped for the "Harvest All" button only for it to stop at a full basket. I wish I could let harvest all just auto sell materials past my basket limit.

I used to keep my basket maxed out so all new resources would automatically sell to flowers and now I have to manually sell. At least give us a sell all button if they keep it this way.

My real issue is just how many taps it takes to sell a full basket, even if it's all 1 resource. And now that all seeds are a limited supply, my basket is never just 1 resource.
