Yeah, I have been doing well for myself simply because I am currently more invested in singleplayer gameplay with only the occasional gift or forum post. But it really is a mess. I would love some pebble sinks so people start listing bulk items on the flea market for pebbles for once.
I wasn’t aware of how much Play with Nana benefits, since I regularly use my pebbles and only took advantage of the crashing market recently. Even without optimizing companions or having that many wolves, I still gained a net profit. I absolutely understand how that can get messy.
