Cutting down trees or mining.

[Prompt]

It makes playthrough a grind.

How so?
Doing it would be completely optional.

If you don't want to cut trees, then don't. But it may be good for those that do want to do it.

You can always just stand in a room for hours on end doing nothing but contra, oh what fun that sounds like.
Me personally would rather be doing something to keep myself active while playing and also getting money from doing it.

Okay, how do people make money? They farm.

People are going to want more money

And this happens: people gather round the trees and mines, rinse repeating for more cash.

People don't do much contra as before, except for when they do aggrp. Secondly, that's illegal on law so people don't do it as much

Tree cutting won't be illegal,
And so people will be constantly rinse repeat rinse repeat grinding for money

This will make contraband outdated, and yes you can argue people will

I'll also note people prefer so on the second server due to desolate.

This means people will be there, chopping down treees for money and not much else, ON thenmainn server, compared to contra
