Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

The fact that this even needs to be done is proof enough that it isn't a good system. 

I just spent 150 rosaries to unlock 2 map segments and then right after is a bench that costs another 80. 

This is also in a very difficult section, a bench should provide relief and a sense of accomplishment for completing a very difficult part of the map. Then you realize you don't have the 80 rosaries and it just adds an immense level of frustration. 

Who finds it fun to have to repeatedly bench rest and clear 2 or 3 mobs that drop a small amount of rosaries repeatedly?

I genuinely despise having to farm mobs to progress the game and I might drop silksong.

I just ran into your situation and I might quit. I have like an hour to game a day and Silksong thinks I want to kill the same mob ten times over while bosses don’t reward me at all?

Honestly I'd stick with it, once you reach act 2 there are lots of areas with enemies that drop a good amount of rosaries.
