I do in fact, but I mainly prefer the company of more mature individuals.

You don't have to grind materials for hours and hours on end and do endless stupid boring crafting to put lego blocks together, you just need to put the blocks together. The graphics are a lot better, too, that hideously blocky pixel look does NOT look very good, sorry.
Plus, legos came with building instructions, too. I liked building the sets the boxes were supposed to make just as much as making my own things. And you get an actual physical product, which is different from something just in a computer...
But really, the building part might be fun... if it wasn't buried under so much ridiculously boring unfun tedium. I have absolutely no interest in grinding for hours and hours so I can just make blocks, that sounds like the opposite of fun...
You never had to search through a pile of hundreds of Legos to find the perfect piece for what you're building? Your description of "grinding for hours and hours to make blocks" shows how little you understand the game, thus rendering your arguments invalid. As I said in my last post that you glossed over, the main hook of the game is exploration and building. I can only remember a couple times I've had to grind, and that was taking about, oh, 5 or 10 minutes to chop down some trees to get wood for my rollercoaster. Other than that, most of what you need you find or get incidentally while exploring. I started out with a cave in a rock wall just big enough to fit my stuff in, but as I branched out and explored and found better building materials, I slowly upgraded.
The entire fact that you think the game is 99% crafting blocks makes me facepalm in your general direction.
