Add keg and fruitcrate delieveries back as quest table quests / make them more available

This also means that now it takes about a month of grinding every night to complete their respective commendations (and achievements).

Weeks, Months, Years. You have the time right? after all..game doesnt have a finish date or any "Finish these before there gone"

@burnbacon the commendation is not even supposed to be a grind. These quests were unintentionally made extremley rare. They should address that so players do not need to dedicate months of time to an achievement that was meant to be doable in a week of normal playtime instead of a month of grinding wihtout doing anything else. These achievements are simply not going to be completed unless you take unnessecary time to grind them.

@burnbacon
Brother.
Kegs could be completed in a day before S11.
Now you need Months.
Thats not a good thing.

Dont recall having fellow here who I call a brother...very weird. Anyways, ^_^

As it is, these quests are currently locked behind mysterious journals (and a very low chance in bottles)

Randomly went to Snake island, found 2 bottles and 3 journals. (2 were glitched together) 5 random voyages, none were Smugglers.
Out of those 5, 3 were Merchant voyages. Banana crate, Keg and Cannon ball delivery.

Im not looking for them, yet I find them. So tell me, what is it that is happening here?

now it takes about a month of grinding every night to complete their respective commendations (and achievements).

True, but you have the time Right? You have days, weeks, months and years. This game...will continue to add commendations and achievements every new season. Some of these commendations and achievements cant be or should be completed in a set number.
You just need to...not focus on them, burns you out and makes the game seem like a grind.

Modern gamers today seem to want, everything given to them without...really playing the game. Make things easier, simpler, more...Give than take. Give me the achievements and take less time. :P

quests in barrels could be added back

Miss those. But like this, people complained about how they would quickly go into barrels without looking and fill up on Bottle voyages, filling up there quest wheel. So, removed.
Blame the players for wanting less, not knowing what it will do. Oh well.

least make them take less than a month of purposely grinding for something unintentionally made scarce with an update.

Again, what with players wanting to play less? You play games of any kind, your grinding, you grind to unlock and achieve. No grind, just achieve...idk why that sounds so less fun. Its like playing Golf and winning without actually playing. Just grab a club and you earn two strokes.

and who to say it was unintentionally? maybe they did it on purpose? After all, if wasn't why has it taken them so long to "Fix"? Because from what I just said, finding messages in bottles on sand and Journals. I am still finding them...

It not like they cant improve things, but making it easier? Because...grinding is such a chore. Come on kids, let the game be as it is, for those of us who actually enjoying it. Taking away the fun because you can't spend few extra days.

3 merchant order quest from one island is insane luck. As in, go buy a lottery ticket right now type luck. I have been actively checking islands for months now. I have journal maps for certain islands that I can check quickly. Based on my experience getting a single merchant order after checking 10 islands is more typical. Not 10 journals or 10 bottles, 10 complete islands. One voyage in a two hour session of actively looking, is not unusual. I'm usually watching a movie or something while doing it

I have no problem doing the voyages, gathering the necessary supplies. Double or triple the number of hand ins needed for all I care, just take the punishing RNG out of the equation.

Thats called luck. I have been sailing island to island checking journal spawns for the past few days and still haven't found a single one.

True, but you have the time Right?
No I have a job and responsibilities.

and who to say it was unintentionally? maybe they did it on purpose
Theyve gone back and made commendations easier in the past. They wouldnt make a commendation near impossible without dedicating your time to it

let the game be as it is, for those of us who actually enjoying it.
They could add a quest that is digging in a single spot for 13 hours and you would eat it up.

Because...grinding is such a chore.
Yes.

Taking away the fun because you can't spend few extra days.
It's not fun to search every single journal spawn to HOPE to get a quest.

Thats the only thing you have to say to my comment?
