This is the first adopt me event i’ve heavily disliked in 7 years.
I’ve been playing adopt me since 2019, coming up on 7 years (I think, I can’t do math). I have played every event since the 2019 halloween event. Sure i’ve had a few minor complaints here and there but i’ve never attended an update that i’ve been like “ugh this really sucks”. The summer updates are one of my most looked forward to updates every year. They’ve had some really good ones, especially the state fair (IMO) so I had some higher expectations for this. The first week was rough but I was like okay there’s many more weeks to go it will get better, well it’s week 3 and I like it even less. I’m a mobile player which has made it increasingly harder to do. I have no idea why there’s no scheduled mini games, they had an opportunity to do some cute camping themed mini games and what we got is just not that.
I know this update was likely an effort to stop bots but I called this months ago that any efforts to stop bots would only result in regular players (especially kids) struggling, and do nothing to harm bots. Adopt me isn’t going to stop the bots, they will make new scripts and find new work arounds. At the end of the day bots are a roblox problem that most popular games face. Anyways I am a grown woman who’s got nothing but time this summer and the fact that i’m struggling tells me a lot. Since it’s summer most kids have much more free time, the player count should realistically be much higher than it is, especially considering yes, a good chunk of players are bots at the moment. I’ve supported this game for many years and i’m incredibly disappointed. I don’t even mind the atmosphere being a lil fall ish vibes, I actually kinda liked that, I really just want better ways to earn acorns that give you a decent amount, is fun, is fair to mobile players, and the normal mini games and cute pets (some of the pets are cute don’t get me wrong, love the otters) but I think this majorly missed the mark, like big time.
I’m hoping if enough people voice their criticism the last few weeks of this event will turn around and be a fun time again. With all due respect I hope the summer isn’t wasted on this lackluster update. Anyways that’s all, just my opinion, if you’ve read this and don’t agree that’s totally fine I just appreciate anyone reading!
