Hi! I've been hunting around for a little while for something like this without luck, so if I've missed it somewhere I'd love to be pointed in the right direction! Basically, in my opinion, it's way too easy to max out friendship with everyone. I never give gifts and barely acknowledge anyone and just thanks to quests and festivals, I'm not even finished with year one and already almost at 10 hearts with most people. I know you can slingshot them and lower their friendship but I feel bad about that, lol. I want to work to make friends! Thanks!
