"All items should be affordable with about 1 week's worth of regular activity (completing quests, harvesting/watering plants)."

Maybe others have had a different experience but I now no longer believe this and am wondering how in the world someone came up with that math. It's been just about a week now, and I don't have enough currency to even buy half of just one of each of the NEW things. That's not counting the 5 totems for the pet + the 1 other hatchable totem or last year's items, just the new Pann's stuff, recolored items, and 1 of each of the 3 totems. And I've been doing my 5 quests every single day, and have been posting on the official watering thread as much as I can throughout my days.

So how, in what world, should players be already able to afford ALL ITEMS by now? Were we expected to post immediately after every 3min, 24/7, and hope the player below us watered our plant too? How was someone supposed to get about 830 currency already? I'm just so baffled.
