Slightly more madening is when the spawning of Bushes, and in particular Beasts (the last one on a screen) takes too long and you Quick Whack or Mana Whack thinking there was no Beast and if you knew there was going to be a you would have individually Power Whacked it. ARRGH, at least 20 times a day.

And also madening is the sometimes slow spawning of metal Ores in the one spawn site in the Bandits Camp. I try to do many of my Repeatable Quests all at teh same time and when this happens i'm already halfway through that door into the other square. I HATE having to go through gates again and again to get things, each time takes so much time. Especially the Platinum, I've had to go through 100 gates in teh Caves to get 10 of those, and that's a whoping HALF a %^$&ing hour.

P.S. Why do you need to update our Friends status EVERY 5 minutes? I can make a very honest guess that NOBODY goes up a Level in a day, and if they do I don't need you to constantly check that every 5 minutes.

There are many things the Devs could do to make the game a tiny bit more enjoyable.

cooldown?

if that works it is simpler than what I do... I go to the cool down screen and see how long it take to load... (I always have stuff there to load... then go back to Available Friends and wait at least that long

yes -- cooldown -- didn't want to load the screen at the time to check the wording as I was about to shut down my i/net (leaving BW asleep means it doesn't crash on me).
