Don't blame the messenger, blame the game. Opinion poll are cancer to loot, and you need 40 of them. Plus you can do the cat meme engineer at the same time. They are relatively rare in touristic economy, and rarer elsewhere.These content creators are so thirsty for views that they will continue to recommend exploits, farming, and gold rushes.

The system is stupid, you do the most efficient route. Don't blame the player for that.
