First off, Its no secret that this game is a mindless grindfest, but its actually more like a grind, within a grind, within a grind - everything you do is grinding, day in, day out - with very little in the way of rewards. This was setup specifically to generate money from parents - at least, with the private servers - they are free, although they have there own problems with crashing constantly for instance.
Extreme Grindfest explained
You want the highest level gags? That'll take you weeks upon weeks of grinding buildings on invasion servers. Thats assuming you have friends who play so you can team up - since the game goes from Solo Friendly in toontown central and donalds dock areas, to a forced grouping game post Daisy Gardens are - and without friends, quit - because you'll be standing around for hours trying to complete nonsense quests like the infamous lil old man quest line. Since the most amount of xp you can earn is roughly 200, it doesn't really take a genius to figure out...it'll take a while to max though gags and thats assuming you can max out the xp everytime - because you have to take into account, missing - which is another problem entirely.
You want to do bosses? Its a grind in order to get all the disguise pieces, then another grind of repeating the same boss battles, then doing factory runs in order to gain merits...repeat...repeat...repeat until you've run each boss about a thousand times for the top level suit then do it all over again with a different boss. Some bosses are actually fun like VP, but others are designed poorly like lawbot which is just mindnumbing bad button bash and hope.
So where is the grind within a grind? Gardening...you want laff points from gardening? Sure...it'll take you several months of repeating the same process each day, every day. Fishing....it'll take you months to catch each fish, some fish being so rare that the drop rate is less than 0.1% and some people have never caught them.
Missing - this is another major problem with the game, since you have no control on the accuracy - sometimes the game will penalize you with huge amounts of missed gags, sometimes even leading to failed runs - the private servers seem to have an even lower %acc to gag ratio than original TTO had, even though they have denied it, but many actual players talk about the lower accuracy of lure all the time.
Another dirty secret is the wait time on ordering certain items from the catalog - these can vary wildly from 30 days to 720 days (3 years) - you heard me right? THREE YEARS delivery time - whilst alot are not that long, many are 200+ days delivery time for some items, makes you wonder who nutjob thought up this was a good marketing idea, even back when TTO was active, this was a hated feature among the adult player population but Disney refused constantly to remove this abomination of a feature.
You want to play TTO, I'm honestly glad the game is dead - I'm hoping for some sanity among the private servers to actually lower some of the insane grind, increase xp - remove or at least drastically reduce wait time on catalog items - - I've yet to see any positive changes, even the new catalogs are once a week, which honestly - was still not nearly fast enough.… Expand
