Aside from a lack of grinding efficiently and resourcefully, I don’t think that’s the main issue with Ark. Ark is one of the only games where you are continually penalized every second you’re not playing it. I read these posts and imo the people that complain about others that “have no lives” just don’t understand how the game works. Ark isn’t like Overwatch, PUBG, Diablo, League, even CoD. You can’t just hop on to play it once in a while or expect to have time to play other games without taking a loss. I think that’s why many people are “lazy” about building. They just don’t want to/don’t have the dedication to commit the time it takes to build and maintain a base. It kind of sad but in reality the game is a waste of time. All that being said I do still play daily and have 5 plus servers just for Xbox.. just something I’ve noticed about the game.
